An R interface to Google's open source JavaScript engine. This
package can now be compiled either with V8 version 6 (LTS) from nodejs
or with the legacy 3.14/3.15 version of V8.
V8 version 6 or 7 is recommended, but 3.14 (legacy)
is still supported as well. On Debian / Ubuntu you need either
libv8-dev or libnode-dev, on Fedora use v8-devel.

V8 engine version 6+ is needed for modern JS and
WASM support. On Debian / Ubuntu install either libv8-dev or
libnode-dev, on Fedora use v8-devel. The readme has
instructions for installing backports on Ubuntu Xenial and
Bionic. It is still possible to build this package against the
legacy libv8 version 3.14 branch, but these engines only
support traditional JavaScript (ES5).
