RECENT CHANGES

(See the Changes file for the long version.)

0.005
-----
• Incompatible changes:
  • set  now expects a  WWW::Scripter  object as the  first  argument.
  • new_function  now  adds  the  function  to  all  JS  environments.
• New back_end method
• The eval method is now public.
• A piece of JavaScript code  calling  a  method  on  another  global
  object no longer dies.
• JE is now the default back end, not SpiderMonkey. This is temporary.

0.004
-----
Scripts in frames now run in the context of the frame,  not  the  top-
level window.

0.003
-----
• Support  for  HTML::DOM  0.032’s  new  event  handler  model.  This
  fixes various bugs involving  event  handler  properties  (‘theForm
 .onsubmit’).
• The JE back end now supports those utterly useless  HTML-generating
  methods of string objects that have been part of  JavaScript  since
  the very beginning.
• The scope of an event handler  now  includes  the  document  object.
• HTML::DOM’s UTF-16 methods are now used, so textNode.data.length is
  equivalent to textNode.length.
• The havoc caused by JavaScript accessing frames whose documents con-
  tain no scripts has been mostly cleaned up.
• Various other bug fixes
