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.
the old debug_assert always ran and tested the expression, which slows
down release builds. wrapping them in #ifndef NDEBUG is clumsy. the new
ASSERT behaves like assert and ENSURE like the old debug_assert. Let's
change any time-critical but not-super-important ENSURE to ASSERT to
speed up release builds. (already done in bits.h and unique_range.h)
This was SVN commit r9362.
Remove percent-of-parent and percent-of-frame timings since they're not
particularly useful.
Simplify profiler update code by using RingBuf.
Handle profiler keys via character codes rather than keysyms, to
hopefully work with different keyboard layouts.
Make console intercept all keys, to stop digits, shift-D, etc having
unexpected side-effects.
Disable console copy/paste when console is inactive.
This was SVN commit r8960.
Make some parts of logger and console thread-safe.
Simplify console: remove special commands; remove prefix for script
commands.
Remove LOG_ONCE, to simplify logger.
Change some code to use the new logger interface.
Fix OOS when revealing map.
Clean up some formatting.
This was SVN commit r8511.
Delete unnecessary unused incomplete profiler scripting support.
Clean up some JSAPI code to use newer features.
Display simulation script functions in the profiler.
This was SVN commit r7503.
Moved COLLADA-loading code into separate class, since it now handles
both PMD and PSA.
Desingletonised CSkeletonAnimManager, moved into CGameView.
Made Atlas load its icons with buffered IO, for possible efficiency.
This was SVN commit r4934.
Profiler: now shows "mem allocs" for the previous frame (only in MSVC
Debug mode).
Aura: got rid of a couple of hundred allocations per frame.
This was SVN commit r4805.
data model.
Profile.cpp implements AbstractProfileTable so the original
functionality
of the profiling display remains.
CRenderer also contains an AbstractProfileTable implementation that
displays
the rendering stats. Switch through different profile views using F11.
This was SVN commit r3154.
