New description:

 Mostly bug fixes for newer versions of IE, including a very annoying "This
 page uses Java" popup.

 [https://github.com/prototypejs/prototype/compare/1.7.1...1.7.3 Commits
 between 1.7.1 and 1.7.3]

 [http://prototypejs.org/2014/04/18/prototype-1-7-2 1.7.2 announcement]

 [http://prototypejs.org/2015/09/24/prototype-1-7-3 1.7.3 announcement]

 I could only see it breaking things if people (like me) have added work
 arounds for the old version?

Comment:

 If this is worth updating, the patch still applies successfully.

 [21593] updated the version number to 1.7.1 when it un-bundled the files,
 and 1.7.3 is the last version.
