    v137 v138  
    5656It looks as if firefox-103 updated the profile.
    5757
    58 == Dependencies for 105.0 series (latest upstream stable) ==
     58== Dependencies for 106.0 series (latest upstream stable) ==
    5959cbindgen >= 0.24.3 and therefore the sed needed for 102 is not wanted.
     60
     61The shipped libpng is marked for automatic updates, but only when firefox is in alpha - in 106.0 the shipped version is 1.6.37 but it works fine with 1.6.38 (unsurprising, that was not intended as a breaking change)
    6062
    6163The shipped libvpx has been updated to v1.12.0
    … …  
    6365libwebp should be updated to >= 1.2.4
    6466
    65 nss >= 3.82.0
     67nss >= 3.83.0
    6668
    67 nspr >= 4.34.1 (in practice, it ships 4.34.1 but only tests for >= 4.34 if using the system nspr)
     69nspr >= 4.35 (in practice, it ships 4.35 (nsprpub/pr/include/prinit.h) but only tests for >= 4.34.1 if using the system nspr)
    6870
    69 rustc >= 1.61.0 (tested with 1.61.0).
     71rustc >= 1.61.0
    7072
    7173The minimum version of node-js has now been updated to v12.22.1, unfortunately that fell out of support in April of this year, v14, v16 and (not yet LTS) v18 have had vulnerability fixes since then.
    … …  
    7880For 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.

    80 == Dependencies for 106.0beta ==
     82== Dependencies for 107.0beta ==

    82 Although libpng is automatically sync'd to its upstream, that only happens in the alpha releases. As of 103.0b3 the shipped version recorded in media/libpng/png.h is still 1.6.37.
    83 But it seems to build and work fine with 1.6.38 (not surprising, that is not intended as a breakign change).
     84To be advised
    8485
    85 nss >= 3.83
    86 
    87 nspr ships as 4.35.0 in nsprpub/pr/include/prinit.h although it documents 4.34.1 in security/nss/automation/release/nspr-version.txt
    88 
    89 BLFS has now moved to rustc-1.64.0 (to suit llvm-15) so I am using that for testing.

    9187The 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).
