Public bug reported: Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception ======================================= gjs 1.77.90 is the Release Candidate for gjs 1.78 and is part of GNOME 45 Release Candidate. gjs 1.77 switches from mozjs102 to mozjs115.
mozjs is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox (ESR). The Firefox 102 ESR branch is no longer supported by Mozilla later this month; 115 is the new Firefox ESR series. We did not finish packaging mozjs115 before Mantic Feature Freeze. This feature freeze request includes promoting mozjs115 from universe to main and demoting mozjs102 to universe. The only other user of mozjs* in Mantic is cjs, Cinnamon's fork of gjs. Cinnamon will not be ready to switch to mozjs115 in time for Ubuntu 23.10. As a minor note, we will also need to add mozjs115 to the list of packages to build on i386.
