Package Name: mozjs128 Version: 128.0.0 Upstream Author: Mozilla etc License: mostly MPL-2.0, other files are licensed under other open source licenses Programming Lang: C++ Description: SpiderMonkey JavaScript library SpiderMonkey is the code-name for Mozilla Firefox's C++ implementation of JavaScript. It is intended to be embedded in other applications that provide host environments for JavaScript. . This library is intended for use in contexts where only trusted JavaScript code will be run, such as GNOME's gjs, Cinnamon's cjs, and polkit's rules parsing. It should not be used to run untrusted JavaScript from web pages: use a security-supported implementation such as Firefox, Chrome or WebKitGTK's JavaScriptCore instead. Other Info -------------- mozjs is the JavaScript engine from Firefox ESR. Today, a new Firefox ESR series was released. It will be supported by Mozilla for about 14 months. It is likely but not yet certain that GNOME 47, specifically gjs 1.82, will switch from mozjs115 to mozjs128. If that happens, the next major release of Debian (Debian 13 "Trixie") will include mozjs128. The other user of mozjs* in Debian is Cinnamon, specifically their cjs fork of gjs. Based on previous history, it is expected that cjs will continue to use mozjs115 for Debian 13. mozjs102 will be removed from Debian Unstable once cjs 6.2 reaches Unstable which is expected to happen "soon".
