 This is an attempt to help people who want to keep using the latest upstream release, and will be updated from time to time. It is also a store for any changes which will need to be addressed when the book moves to the next ESR version.

 The shipped libpng is now apparently automatically updated (reviewing
 changes would mean using mercurial). But upstream libpng has not been updated for some time. Similar automatic updates are now in place for libwebp, which presumably means the version should be 1.2.2. However, looking at the python configury files, it is possible that much earlier versions of these might work. For consistency, best to keep up to date.
 
-nss now needs to be >= 3.77
+The shipped libvpx has been updated to v1.11.0, updating the system version to that is recommended.
 
-rustc now needs to be >= 1.57.0, tested with 1.58.1.
+nss shipped version is 3.78.1 but that is due for release on 1st June and firefox is released
+for 31st May. Builds ok with 3.78 but I suspect 3.78.1 will be a security update.

-Please note that 101.0beta build ok if you are not using your own CFLAGS, but still fails to link if -DGLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS is manually defined. This was raised as [hetps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1758005] which is regarded as a gcc bug, and the commit identified as an expected fix is in gcc-12.1. I don't have time to pursue this.

 The 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.
