Sorry, we have no really good answer to that question currently. You can get later versions from the http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/spidermonkey/prereleases/ directory. The only thing really holding me up from declaring those to be releases is that using them with default options, or with commonly-desired configuration parameters, will fail to work during startup. Mostly it's just a matter of configuring with --disable-jemalloc. All it would take to declare these packages release-quality would be identifying basic working configurations on Windows, Linux, and OSX, including static and shared variants of debug and non-debug. And making sure they work with a basic embedding. And maybe adjusting the configure script to at least not default to a broken setup.

Release notes, even if autogenerated, would be nice but need not hold up releases.

I perpetually intend to get around to doing that stuff, but can never justify prioritizing it above my other overdue projects. Volunteers welcome.
