Hi, we have officially branched to be prepared for the upcoming Chrome version 79. The base of the branch is currently rolled <https://crrev.com/c/1866571> into Chromium. It is based on one of the latest Chrome Canaries.
Integration into Chromium is stopped until Chromium has branched too. V8 branch: branch-heads/7.9 Original Canary: 79.0.3944.0 Ref to be used in Chromium: https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/refs/heads/7.9-lkgr If your CL is not included in 79.0.3944.0 you might consider merging it into the branch branch-heads/7.9. In that case please apply the label Merge-Requested-7.9 to the bug the CL is fixing. See https://v8.dev/docs/merge-patch for more information on merging.
