This ugprades 0 A.D. to the latest ESR at the moment of writing.
Mostly straighforward API changes (see meta-Bug 1633145)
- js::Class is merged with JSClass
- JSNewArrayObject becomes JS::NewArrayObject
- ArrayObject-functions are moved to a new public header Array.h
- JSMSG error messages have again been changed, requiring some tweaks.
- AutoValueArray becomes RootedBalueArray (Bug 1634435)
- 'uneval' is behind a Realm flag (Bug 1565170), but no removal is
planned in the short-term future.
- Some minor GC API changes (Bugs 1569564 and 1633405)
- Error reporting has had some tweaks, and error flags have been removed
(Bug 1620583)
- StructuredClone are now always thread-safe, simplifying an API change
introduced in SM52 (Bug 1607791)

This was SVN commit r24333.
No noteworthy API changes.
Details:
- Remove UTF16 script execution since UTF8 is supported in SM68 and
going forward
- Several new headers includes are required
- Realms replace Compartments as "global holders" (see meta-Bug 1357862)
- JSRequests are removed entirely (Bug 722345), see also aae417bd29
- Trivial API updates in ProxyHandlers, ArrayBuffer, Warnings, GC
reasons, Context options, ObjectIsFunction, ValueVectors and
JSCompartment

Fixes#5860
Differential Revision: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3144
This was SVN commit r24297.
The JS-side counterparts of C++ objects are now Proxy objects, in
anticipation of SM60 changes that remove the get/set hooks entirely.
This makes semantic sense too as they are essentially phantom wrappers
around the C++ objects, with no proper JS representation.
By using different proxy handlers for different GUI object types, we can
further fix issues encountered in D2136 by defining the relevant
functions only on objects that should have them.
The main complexity with proxy handlers is that Spidermonkey assumes in
several places that they are static and data-less, so they cannot be
used directly to hold data. This diff works around that issue by storing
per-script-interface data in the CGui directly.
Further API changes in SM60 make this slightly cleaner.

This was SVN commit r24229.
This upgrade also introduces exact stack rooting (see to the wiki:
JSRootingGuide) and fixes problems with moving GC. This allows us to
enable generational garbage collection (GGC).
Measurements a few months ago have shown a performance improvement of a
non-visual replay of around 13.5%. This probably varies quite a bit, but
it should be somewhere between 5-20%. Memory usage has also been
improved. Check the forum thread for details.
Thanks to everyone from the team who helped with this directly or
indirectly (review, finding and fixing issues, the required C++11
upgrade, the new autobuilder etc.)! Also thanks to the SpiderMonkey
developers who helped on the #jsapi channel or elsewhere!

This was SVN commit r16214.
This commit contains all the required changes to our source files and
build scripts (hopefully).
A next commit will remove the old stuff of SpiderMonkey 1.8.5.
Spcial thanks to:
- H4writer who helped a lot mainly with the performance issues we
had/have, but also with other problems or questions.
- Leper for the review.
- Historic_bruno for implementing the build scripts on Mac OS X and
testing on the Mac.
- The people from the #jsapi channel and from
mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine who answered a lot of questions and helped
solving problems.
- All the other people who helped
