## PhantomJS 1.9 "Sakura"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sakura is a spring flower, see Ariya's [email on Mar 23, 2013](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/phantomjs/yM25jtdispo/dXbenqn-mvYJ):

|
|
|
> We do agree that this release should mark the end of the 1.x series.
|
|
> Going forward, we'll switch to Qt 5 and use the chance to boot the
|
|
> all-new 2.0. For such a closing release, it just makes sense to pick
|
|
> something related to the first code name ever given (exercise for the
|
|
> reader), hence why 1.9 is called "Sakura".

|
|
|
|
The **Blue Winter Rose** is a flower that grows in the glass gardens of Winterfell.
|
|
It's pale blue the color of frost. Also, it's connected to the legend of **Bael the Bard**.
|
|
|
|
> Bael the Bard climbed the Wall.
|
|
> Took the Kingsroad and entered Winterfell.
|
|
> He made himself known as Sygerrik of Skagos, a singer.
|
|
> He sang until midnight for the Lord's pleasure.
|
|
> Impressed by his skills, Lord Brandon Stark asked him what rewarded he wanted.
|
|
> Bael asked for the most beautiful flower in Winterfell's gardens.
|
|
> Blue winter roses were just blooming.
|
|
> Brandon Stark agreed to offer him one.
|
|
|
|
The following morning, the virgin daughter of the lord had disappeared. In her bed was a Blue Winter Rose.

|
|
|
|
> "Blazing Star" is a mesmerizing and beautiful flower, it is often used
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
> attractive yet romantic blossoms marking a joyful relationship could
|
|
> not be a better honor for us.

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

Glory of the Snow is a winter flower. See Ariya's [email on Nov 29, 2011](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/phantomjs/5VA1kQH_864/discussion):
|
|
|
|
> Approaching the final month before its very first birthday, I'm sure
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
> integration systems. The ecosystem grows and lately there seems to be
|
|
> an increasing amount of projects using PhantomJS as a basis to do
|
|
> something which was not possible before. In short, it spreads like
|
|
> wild fire. Thus, it just makes sense for me to cast the winter release
|
|
> of PhantomJS, i.e. version 1.4, as "Glory of the Snow". It's a winter
|
|
> flower with beautiful colorful star petals which easily grows and
|
|
> spreads to almost everywhere.

Water Lily is an autumn flower. See Ariya's [email on June 24, 2011](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/phantomjs/kRz9atKlyWE/discussion):
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
> be a nice solution for, among others, Ruby developers. Related to
|
|
> this, hereby I designate the autumn release of PhantomJS, i.e. version 1.3,
|
|
> as "Water Lily", an autumn flower considered by many to be the "jewels of the pond".

Birds of Paradise is a summer flower. See Ariya's [email on May 31, 2011](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phantomjs/5MHRKM8IOyU/discussion):
|
|
|
|
> I feel honored that PhantomJS gains a lot of tractions and used by
|
|
> many front-end developers. One particular striking example is Twitter.
|
|
> Now, if I allow to pick a random bird (remember the tweet connection),
|
|
> that'll be sunbird. In particular because Strelitzia nicolai is
|
|

|
> Strelitzia nicolai is just one species under the genus Strelitzia,
|
|
> commonly known as the beautiful Birds of Paradise flowers.

Cherry Blossom is a spring flower. See Ariya's [email on Apr 9, 2011](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phantomjs/0LINaH93DpI/discussion):
|
|
|
|
> I would like to have "seasonal" PhantomJS release schedules. Thus,
|
|
> this month seems to qualify very well for a Spring release of
|
|
> PhantomJS 1.1. Most likely code name for this release is "Cherry
|
|
> Blossom" since there are apparently lots of PhantomJS fans in Japan
|
|
> (search for PhantomJS in Twitter) and with the recent difficult time
|
|
> they have, paying homage to them is the least we can do."
