For icedtea-web itself, I have no idea : somebody else will have answer that. But for cairo, 1.12.16 ought to be a drop-in replacement for 1.12.6 (not tested, obviously, but I would actually be surprised if anything needing 1.12.6 barfs at 1.12.6 : remember that we only point to current versions). The current cairo (in 7.7) is 1.14, I think. For xulrunner, we dropped it some time ago. If you look at the 7.6 book, you will see that icedtea-web was using npapi-sdk, not xulrunner. So long as your firefox versions of nss/nspr remain up to date, you have no particular disadvantage in using those instead of system versions. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
