Hi, we have officially branched to be prepared for the upcoming Chrome version 66. The base of the branch is currently rolled into Chromium. It is based on one of the latest Chrome Canaries.
V8 branch: 6.6 Original Canary: 66.0.3358.0/V8 6.6.346 If your CL is not included in 66.0.3358.0/V8 6.6.346 you might consider merging it into the branch 6.6. In that case please apply the label 'Merge-Requested-6.6' the the bug the CL is fixing. See https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Merging%20&%20Patching for more information on merging.
