    72 nss versions >= 3.44.3 should work, but using the latest is considered safer. 3.44.3 is a recent update to 3.44 released on 19th November 2019, '''Any versions released before that date should not be used, even if the configure tests pass'''
     72nss versions >= 3.44.4 are tested for, but using the latest is considered safer. 3.44.4 is a recent update to 3.44 released on 20th May 2020 (as was nss-3.52.1), '''Any versions released before that date should not be used, even if the configure tests pass'''

    74 rustc-1.35.0 worked in past 68-esr releases, but is no longer tested.  Tested with 1.39.0 and 1.42.0, 1.37.0 probably also works.

    80 The patch for system graphite2 and system harfbuzz is no longer useful: The shipped graphite2 was changed in ff72, and for a little while a revised harfbuzz patch worked. But on reviewing the build in 76beta it became clear that the patch was not effective (harfbuzz code wwas still being compiled).

    8282System sqlite can no-longer be used. Many years ago, having the shipped sqlite in the browser but with system sqlite used by other packages was reported to cause problems. So far, things now seem ok.

    9191This 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 of important changes which will need to be addressed when the book moves to the next ESR version which is expected to be the 78 series in June to August 2020 (depending on when thunderbird is ready!)

    9797libwebp has been updated to 1.1.0, I do not think the version is tested if using system version, but I guess the system version should be at least this version.

    105105rustc-1.41.0 or later, but 1.41.0 is buggy (unsafe) and 1.42.0 needs llvm-10.0 (as in the current svn book) if system llvm is to be used.
