Ok, 
looking at...
https://gist.github.com/domenic/aca7774a5d94156bfcc1
would give me this URL:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/branch-heads/4.1
which reads:

Version 4.1.0.27 (cherry-pick)

But git only shows me versions with 3.xx and 4.2.xx, 4.3.xx, 4.5.xx and 
4.6.xx?

Whats the point in having a 3 pages long Readme how to find out which is a 
release instead of having a wiki page with '1.5.2015 V8 release xyz, 
maintained until 15.6.2015'? 
Being a long time Contributor to citadel.org and libical, we also got down 
to doing something like this - Even with a changelog listing the features.

Reading the GIST, I guess (once more..) the last stable release before 
3.31.74.1 was 3.29.88.19 ?
