 ** Rust 1.78 dropped support for Windows 7 and 8.1. It added a tier 3 compile target for these versions but this is currently more or less unsupported and untested.
 ** If you want to build with Rust 1.78 or higher you need the patch in {{Bug|1896958}} to remove the packed_simd crate.
-* 2.53.17b1 and up no longer need Python 2 for building. There is still some breakage in test code and other areas because of this.
+* Work on fixing the breakage and support for Python 3.12 and later has now started because more and more Linux distributions use Python 3.12 or higher.

 * Some languages might need new or more translators. See [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3077284 help wanted for translating].
