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 ?
