Hi @cilerler,

Sorry about the lack of clarity in the release notes.

ClearScript on non-Windows platforms fully supports V8ScriptEngine. It does not support JScriptEngine or VBScriptEngine, as those are dependent on native closed-source components that are only available on Windows and long since deprecated. The good news is that V8ScriptEngine far exceeds JScriptEngine in JavaScript performance and standards support. The bad news is that VBScriptEngine is likely to remain Windows-only.

ClearScript on Windows also supports a number of technologies that aren't available on Linux or macOS. These are mostly legacy capabilities such as COM interoperability.

Good luck!
