The tarball for JS 1.7.0, version 1.7 of the SpiderMonkey (JavaScript-C)
engine, is now available at:

    <ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.7.0.tar.gz>

This is the first release of JavaScript 1.7, containing a number of
bug fixes and new features such as generators, iterators, array
comprehensions, block scope let statements, let expressions and
destructuring assignment.

JS 1.7.0 is based on the same branch (1.8.1.8) as Firefox 2.0.0.8 and
includes the same stability and security fixes.

A change log for this release is available at:

    <http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/release-notes/>

As always, you can get the most recent version of the JS engine by
pulling the source code via CVS and building it locally. Details on how
to do this are available at:

    <http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/>


To pull this specific release instead of the current CVS tip, one
would use the tag -r JS_170.

I am planning on a release of SpiderMonkey 1.7.1 based on the Gecko
1.8.1.10 branch when Firefox 2.0.0.10 is released. If there are issues
you wish to be considered for fixing, please file the appropriate bugs
and block the tracking bug
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401087>.
