V8Js 3.0.0

[redbullmarky]

Hey
It's probably time to consider creating a new release, as we're a little behind despite having added some little features and fixes since these:

Release: Version 2.1.1 (June 19)
Tag: Version 2.1.2 (Aug 20)

I'll start collecting some of the things changed since, so the notes & docs can be updated etc.

The major selling point for the new tag would be the PHP 8 support.

The current version in PECL is 2.1.2 and it does not play well with PHP 8.

why has there been no news about it?

why has there been no news about it?

Time is often the case with many people. Keeping on top of things as the V8 library its compiled against gets new updates, etc.
I haven’t had a look over things myself for a little while but if there was someone else that’s had recent success building against latest V8 and/or even the one that’s bundled with node, I’d be keen to try and get things updated a bit with a bit of a steer.
Then I guess it’d be down to @stesie to give it the thumbs up for 3.0
