As far as i could track it down the latest version is 0.12.4 from 20th June 24 (not that new). But the installation pulls the depot_tools from git without a fixed tag or version.

The problematic commit introducing import httplib2.socks has been brought in at 12th June 24. This was before mini-racer has released it latest version. So I assume it was not a mini-racer issue that time but could be caused by the latest depot-tools.

Can someone verify if mini-racer is still working with the latest depot-tools?! Thank you
