  54. Skip EOLs in empty object initializer expressions
  55. Turns out the fix for memory loss problem in 23.10 wasn't quite right and could cause hits or free memory twice in a worst case scenario - have now found the real root of the bug, and this should now be fully fixed
  56. IBrowse now allows white space at the end of </script>
  57. String.indexOf() now properly checks for out of range fromIndex
  58. Now short-circuit evaluation really does work properly for ?: expressions, and handles the comma operator correctly too

  64. The methods of the internal classes now inherit methods from the Function class

  76. When accessing a host object, if the host index is a number in a string, and the corresponding array item is undefined, we now try again treating the original string as a property name
