Description :
XULRunner is a Mozilla runtime package that can be used to bootstrap XUL+XPCOM

provides libxul, a solution which allows the embedding of Mozilla technologies
in other projects and products.

This update ALSO contains a change to the GNOME 3 shell's gjs library, to make it use the standalone js package, to reduce risk of regression.
It also includes all packages depending on gecko-libs rebuilt against the new version of Firefox / XULRunner.
