QuickJS-NG 0.9.0 released!

QuickJS is a small and embeddable JavaScript engine. It aims to support the latest ECMAScript specification. QuickJS NG is a fork of the original QuickJS project by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon, after it went dormant, with the intent of reigniting its development.

After a couple of months of development version 0.9.0 is out. A few notable changes:

• qjs will now exit on unhandled rejections: this aligns the reference interpreter with Node, Deno and Bun
• Tons of new C APIs: JS_IsDate, JS_IsRegExp, JS_IsMap, JS_IsPromise and more, check quickjs.h
• QUICKJS_NG is now defined so applications wanting to support both the old version and NG have an easy way to tell them appart
• Inline caches have been removed, see the interesting conversation here
• Amalgamated builds, see quickjs-amalgam.zip in the release artifacts, just a C file and 2 header files!
• Meson build system support
