JavaScript changes

Post by JensAyton »

Since Firefox 3 is now at Release Candidate 1, I’ve started looking at updating to the new version of the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine (supporting JavaScript 1.8). The most immediate effect of this is that both SpiderMonkey/libjs and Oolite must be built with MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH undefined. Previously, the requirement was that it be either defined for both, or undefined for both. As of later today, having it defined will cause a build error.

At some point in the not-too-distant future, the copy of the libjs code in the repository will be updated, at which point it will be necessary to rebuild it.
