    6767''The fixes in the development book for python-3.12 needed in firefox-115.4.0esr and later were included in firefox-120.0. The fix to allow use of system icu-74 is still needed and unlikely to be applied upstream because of the experiments with icu4x.''

    69 However, the changes for python-3.12 appear not to have all been completed, or something in python-3.12.1 is causing further breakage. In particular, using './mach configure' will end in error, complaining about an unsupported version of python. If avoiding the configure step, which I prefer as a quick way to check the dependencies and mozconfig, the './mach build' will complete but the install then similarly reports errors ''after the install has completed'' and (if using scripts which exit on error) stops.

    8383For the moment, g++ can be used if you pass --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries but the changes in gcc-12 mean that the book has moved to using clang++, still without wasm.

     87 The shipped libvpx is now 1.14.0, release notes for the system version suggest it is binary compatible with the previous version.

    8991The early betas for 92.0 and 93.0 needed static libstdc++.a to link logalloc-replay (that specifies -static-libstdc++). In later betas that was not compiled. While using a static system lib (outside of rust) is annoying, the expected lifetime of a firefox beta is short and this requirement can be remembered if a vulnerability in libstdc++ is ever disclosed. I assume this requirement will continue for early betas (those where EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER is defined in build/defines.sh).
