Rhino has not yet released their AST into a downloadable jar. The latest available version is Rhino 1.7R2. AST is expected in 1.7R3.

Don't know when 1.7R3 is, and we can't be future-proof, but if there's anything obvious we can do in our 1.4 release for compatibility, that would be great. I'm guessing we might want to make significant changes to Rhino once the AST is out.

The latest from the mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine.rhino newsgroup is :
"My plan has been to wait for a new release until EcmaScript? edition 5 support was complete before releasing, so likely not until Q1 next year. Using a version built from CVS head is probably okay. "

(In [20704]) Add notes to README to explain compatibility issues with Rhino 1.7R3 and beyond. Rhino will be supporting an AST and a rewrite of ShrinkSafe? may be required. Fixes #9773

I think closure will be the compressor of choice going forwards, and we don't have anyone working on shrinksafe, so closing this ticket.

Sadly, had to back out Richard's changes. The new Rhino seemed to cause intermittent heap memory errors on the main Dojo build script, running the js script itself and sometimes from within shrinksafe (demos). Raising the min/max heap settings didn't seem to help. Had trouble reproducing this locally.

Considering we are nearly reaching the 1.8 beta I would suggest delaying any new tentative to update Rhino to a subsequent release.

Christophe -- I already kicked this back into the "future" bucket

Shrinksafe is deprecated in favor of optimization using closure.
which versions of Rhino specifically? What are the side effects here? Is it just dying?
