Hi, the release notes for v3.0.0-beta-2036 are missing.
I've seen some compile time breakings. 🙃

I've created the missing release notes: https://github.com/sebastienros/jint/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta-2036 , thanks for reporting!

What broke for you?

[lahma]

It's a work in progress 🙂 may I ask what makes you switch between the two, pros/cons? I know Nil.JS is also a fine library.

Nil.JS
Has full es6 support, but is lacking newer es7 and es8 syntactic sugars. Also there is only one maintainer, so small bugs need sometimes 2 or morgen weeks to get fixed, even a community PR is open.

Also the Promises are implemented via tasks and it looks like it allows parallel tasks, which isn't expected from a nodejs perspective. They should run in a random sequence.

Jint
Is missing the module support, my major blocker, as we use modern es6 code for server side scripting.

Also jint has some modern es Operators which makes code a lot more readable. 😅

They should run in a random sequence

I believe it's less random in Jint, it will try to dequeue previous stacks from Promises first if they are available. AFAIR.

Is missing the module support

Very eager to test this promising PR too.

Thanks for the honest feedback, I hope Jint can soon deliver things you expect!

This is no problem, only requirement is to not run in parallel on different threads, as a lot objects are not thread safe in dotnet. 😉

I'll wait for merge. 🤭
