+### v6.7.288.46.0, v6.7.288.46.1 - 2017-07-06
+
+* Update upstream v8 version to 6.7.288.46 (https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/pull/258)
+  Due to the change in V8's build system this causes several major changes until
+  we're able to find a way to reimplement the necessary functionality. The changes
+  are listed below.
+* Remove the option to specify --with-cxx. For now V8 is built with the
+  toolchain provided by the build system (https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/260)
+* Remove the option to specify --with-system-v8. It was making it too easy for
+  the user to shot themself in the foot.
+* Drop ARM support. The V8 build system is not working natively on ARM and for
+  some reason crosscompilation produces X86 binaries
+  (https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/261)
+* Drop FreeBSD support. Chromium's depot_tools do not support FreeBSD at this
+  point. (https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/253)

-##### Use with different standard C libraries
-
-The Linux binary versions of this gem are linked against the most used standard
-library - glibc. Currently rubygems has no mechanism to differentiate
-platform-specific gems by standard library so we have no way of distributing
-different binaries for different standard libraries.
-
-What this means is that if you're running a distro that does not use glibc
-(like Alpine Linux), you'll have to use a source version of the gem.
-
-Also, at the time of writing this, the Ruby version in Alpine's package
-repositories has been patched to not look to download binary versions of gems at
-all.
-
 ### Requirements
 
 Building the V8 library from source imposes the following requirements:
 
-*  A compiler that supports C++11 (such as GCC 4.8 and above or clang,
-preferably 3.5 and above)
-*  GNU Make
-*  Python 2
+* An x86/x86_64 CPU. See [#261](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/261) for ARM state.
+* Linux with glibc or macOS. See
+  [#259](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/259),
+  [#253](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/253) and
+  [#217](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/217) for state of other
+  platforms.
+* Python 2

-### Bring your own V8
-
-*This is a great way to ensure that the builds of all gems that depend on libv8
-fail. Please see the Gotchas section below and use the follwing instructions
-only if you know what you're doing. If you're resorting to this because the
-build of the gem is failing on your system or because there's no
-platform-specific gem for your platform, please open up an issue.*
-
-Because libv8 is the interface for the V8 engine used by several gems, you may
-need to use libv8, even if you have V8 installed already. If you wish to use
-your own V8 installation, rather than have it built for you, use the
-`--with-system-v8` option.
-
-Using RubyGems:
-
-    gem install libv8 -- --with-system-v8
-
-Using Bundler (in your Gemfile):
-
-    bundle config build.libv8 --with-system-v8
-
-#### Gotchas
-
-Please note that if you intend to run your own V8, you must install
-both V8 *and its headers* (found in libv8-dev for Debian-based distros).
-
-Also, keep in mind that V8's API does not tend to be stable and in case you're
-using your local version of V8 you *need* to **make sure that the the gems that
-depend on libv8 are compatible with the API of the version of V8 present on your
-system**. Otherwise those gems' builds *will* fail. Ideally you want the same
-version of V8 as the one packaged in the installed version of the gem. See the
-Versioning section for more information.
-
-### Bring your own compiler
-
-You can specify a compiler of your choice by either setting the `CXX`
-environment variable before compilation, or by adding the
-`--with-cxx=<compiler>` option to the bundle configuration:
-
-    bundle config build.libv8 --with-cxx=clang++
