A comment on V8 Release v9.4.

I was expecting the blog post to have a bit more of substance after the introductory line:

> V8 v9.4 is filled with all sorts of developer-facing goodies

Instead it just describes a single feature, and then DIY:

> Please use `git log branch-heads/9.3..branch-heads/9.4 include/v8.h` to get a list of the API changes.

From the posts in https://v8.dev/blog/tags/release, looks like the use the same opening paragraph every time. They should probably edit it or pick a default that doesn't promise so much :)

That's an interesting template, wonder what happened here:

v9.2: from V8’s Git master

v9.3: from V8’s main Git branch

v9.4: from V8’s Git master

The DIY is apparently for people embedding V8, so the usual JS developer probably gains little from that list, anyway.
