Upgrade to the latest v8 version

[eldargab]

We'd like to see the latest v8 version. Is that planned?

Hi @eldargab,
We have tested version v4.7.80 of v8 and we've made it work with the runtime. Currently nothing stops us from updating v8, but we won't gain anything from the update.
Could you share why do you need the new version of v8?

I ment 5.x branch for enabled by default Proxy support and other ES6 features. As far as I understand 5.x is what Chrome stable currently uses.

@eldargab nothing is technically stopping us from updating the v8 to version 5.1.281.65 (latest stable version on windows and linux) so you can expect it in the near future. Maybe for the 2.2 release.

Ok, thank you

We built v8 version 5.2.361, which is the latest stable, but the APIs we are using are changed/removed, so it might take a little time to adjust the functionality.

Updating labels - this feature is still not in the master.

Updated V8 version is in master. Version is 5.2.361, and we might update it furter to 5.4.x.
