commit d96e60a99a40fab2de0df329b3e5445ac27b8a8e
Author: Brian Terlson <brian.terlson@microsoft.com>
Date:   Fri Feb 5 13:00:13 2016 -0800

    Normative: Remove [[Enumerate]] and associated reflective capabilities
    
    Summary of changes:
    
    * 6.1.7.2 Removed [[Enumerate]] from the table and list of invariants
    * 9.5 Proxy Object Internal Methods and Interal Slots, [[Enumerate]] table entry removed.
    * 9.4.6.1.1 Module Namespace Object [[Enumerate]] moved to 26.3.2 module namespace object [ @@iterator ]
    * 9.5.11 Proxy [[Enumerate]] deleted
    * Moved ordinary [[Enumerate]] section to end of 13.7.5 for-in, renamed to EnumerateObjectProperties.
      * Add an assert to step 1 to signal callers we expect they'll only pass objects
      * Updated informative definition of EnumerateObjectProperties
    * 13.7.5.12 for-in head evaluation calls EnumerateObjectProperties(_obj_) instead of _obj_.[[Enumerate]]
    * EnumerableOwnNames: the _names_ are always ordered the same as EnumerateObjectProperties (since we don't have to worry about this not being enforceable with proxies anymore)
    * 26.1.5 Reflect.enumerate deleted
    
    Fixes #367.

    Normative: Make Object.prototype an Immutable Prototype Exotic Object
    
    This patch builds a mechanism to fix the Proxy security issue documented
    in bug #272 by locking down the prototype chain of the global object, as
    Firefox has experimented with. Although the global object is provided by
    the embedding environment, many embedding environments will include Object
    in the prototype chain; preventing modification of Object.prototype
    addresses the issue by making it impossible to insert a Proxy in that part
    of the prototype chain of the global object. Embedding environments that
    want to prohibit a Proxy from being in the proto chain of their global
    object can make their global object and associated proto chain Immutable
    Prototype exotic objects.
    
    Fixes #308. Fixes #272. This commit includes changes on top of the commit
    in #308 based on the discussion therein.

    Normative: Annex B Regular Expressions updates to match web reality
    
    Fixed:
    - Removed invalid respecification of the PatternCharacter production (B.1.4 shouldn't affect Unicode RegExp)
    
    Changes:
    - Added InvalidBracedQuantifier to reject `/{1}/` (previously allowed through ExtendedTerm -> Atom -> PatternCharacter)
    - Added ExtendedPatternCharacter to allow forms like `/{*/`, `/}*/` `/]/`
    - ExtendedPatternCharacter also handles `/\c%/` by removing the `\` restriction (`/\c%/` is equivalent to writing `/\\c%/`)
    - Added support for `/[\c_]/` and `/[\c1]/` to ClassEscape (the extended forms `\c_` and `\c<decimal digit>` are only valid in CharacterClass)
    - Changed "ClassEscape :: [~U] DecimalEscape" to allow `/[\8]/` by adding the restriction "but only if the integer value of DecimalEscape is 0" [1]
    - Character ranges which start or end with a non-single element CharSet are now handled in a more web-conform way [2, 3]
    - Merged Term and ExtendedTerm to avoid adding redundant semantics for ExtendedTerm
    - Re-ordered some production rules for clarity and to match 21.2.1
    
    [1] This change does not match JavaScriptCore (`/[\8]/.test('\\') == true` in JSC), but also see AtomEscape for the other case where `\8` is handled differently (`/\8/.test('8') == false` in JSC).
    [2] `' -a'.split('').map(s => /[\s-a]/.test(s)) == [true, true, true]` in all major browsers. The previous Annex B semantics made `/[\s-t]/` equivalent to `/[s-t]/`.
    [3] This change does not match Chakra (`/[\s-a-c]/.test('b') == true` in Chakra).

    Normative: Don't recurse in typed array constructor
    
    The recursion when constructing a subclass of a TypedArray when passing
    an array as a parameter was mistakenly added. This reverts this mistaken
    change. Closes #269.

commit 5512445d776b006c484c25c27d795f0f5033b58c
Author: Jordan Harband <ljharb@gmail.com>

    Normative: Change default function length value to not include optional arguments.
    
    Fixes #264.
    
     - A few legacy methods that have deviating lengths are documented explicitly.
     - Any unneeded explicit lengths are removed.
     - Needed legacy explicit lengths are added.
     - Spacing inside optional argument brackets is made consistent
     - Fixed a bug with a `DataView` note having the wrong argument name
    
    The DataView prototype get/set methods have inconsistent lengths across all browsers, so rather than select one of them as legacy, I decided to let them fall into the default category, which hopefully implementations will align with. Here are the changes:
     - DataView.prototype.getFloat32 (sometimes 0 or 2, now 1)
     - DataView.prototype.getFloat64 (sometimes 0 or 2, now 1)
     - DataView.prototype.getInt16 (sometimes 0 or 2, now 1)
     - DataView.prototype.getInt32 (sometimes 0 or 2, now 1)
     - DataView.prototype.getUint16 (sometimes 0 or 2, now 1)
     - DataView.prototype.getUint32 (sometimes 0 or 2, now 1)
     - DataView.prototype.setFloat32 (sometimes 0 or 3, now 2)
     - DataView.prototype.setFloat64 (sometimes 0 or 3, now 2)
     - DataView.prototype.setInt16 (sometimes 0 or 3, now 2)
     - DataView.prototype.setInt32 (sometimes 0 or 3, now 2)
     - DataView.prototype.setUint16 (sometimes 0 or 3, now 2)
     - DataView.prototype.setUint32 (sometimes 0 or 3, now 2)
    
    Note that the "int 8" methods had no optional arguments, and thus were always 1 or 2 - this brings all the DataView get and set methods into alignment with 1 for get, and 2 for set - since they all have the same number of required arguments respectively.

    Normative: Improve TypedArray constructor/Proxy interaction
    
    This patch changes the specification text for constructing TypedArrays
    to skip traversing the prototype chain to find the TypedArray-related
    internal slots, and instead implement the behavior in the individual
    _TypedArray_() constructors. Additionally, methods which used to
    allocate TypedArrays as outputs directly will now call the species
    constructor, since the previous direct construction also depended on
    the prototype chain walk. Fixes #163.

    Normative: Tighten Annex B.3.5 catch parameter remedy
    
    Previously, var declarations in a catch block were allowed to redeclare
    bindings from the catch parameter. This change tightens this to disallow
    redeclaration of catch parameters defined using destructuring.
    
    Fixes #150.

    Normative: Fix multiple issues in GDI and EDI
    
    GDI:
    1. The declaredVarNames list must not be changed, because it is used to install the global var names (step 18).
    2. Check declaredFunctionNames to avoid installing a global function binding multiple times.
    
    EDI:
    1. Apply the changes from GDI for consistency.
    2. Don't create a global function binding if a global lexical binding is present.
    3. Check for existing var-bindings before calling CreateMutableBinding.
    4. Set the deletable flag to true for CreateMutableBinding.
