-- don&apos;t clean properties hash while it is iterated (#316)
-- fix build against PHP 7.2
+Backward-incompatible changes
+-----------------------------
+
+- normal script execution shares its context with modules now (like on Node.js)
+- expose a &quot;global&quot; symbol that references the global scope (like on Node.js)
+- modules may return arbitrary values (not just objects; now like on Node.js)
+- pick up exports from &quot;module.exports&quot; also (like on Node.js)
+- handle exceptions thrown in module loader/normaliser like in other PHP scopes called from JS
+  (i.e. by default terminate execution, optionally propagate to JS side)
+
+V8Js&apos; modules vastly behave like Node.js modules now \o/
+
+- php.ini option v8js.compat_php_exceptions has been removed
+
+Deprecations
+------------
+- V8Js::registerExtension and V8Js::getExtensions are now deprecated, use snapshots instead
+- likewise passing $extensions to V8Js::__construct
+- V8Js::getPendingException and and V8Js::clearPendingException are deprecated, use try/catch
+- likewise passing $report_uncaught_exceptions !== true to V8Js::__construct
+
+Improvements
+------------
+- add documentation on heap snapshots
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- fix build on Windows with VS2017 (thanks @Jan-E)
+- fix enumeration of methods on V8 6.3
