We've basically rewritten large parts of the code to update to mozjs 24,
but we were waiting to hear back from you on why edbrowse still fails to
compile correctly using the Debian packaged version. As previously mentioned on this list,
this is why we've not released the next version yet.
Have you managed to get the current development version of edbrowse to run when
compiled against the Debian build of mozjs?
Any input on this would be much appreciated as I think I can speak for all of
us when I say we'd like to get a release out before the Debian freeze.

Cheers,
Adam.
