Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] LibreJS 5.3 released

[Loic J. Duros]

LibreJS 5.3 won't work with IceCat 17. The codebase is too
old. Fortunately, I'm working right now on the new IceCat, which should
come out in a matter of days. LibreJS was holding the new release of
IceCat among other things, and now a new version of LibreJS is released,
I can concentrate on IceCat.

Stay tuned for an announcement soon.
