[August 22, 2008] Lightning/Sunbird Status Update

We’re getting nearer and nearer to our first 0.9 release candidate. With 31 bugs fixed in the last 10 days, many of them release blockers, we’re now down to only 11 release blockers at the time of writing. 8 of those 11 bugs currently still need a patch, so if anyone of our readers wants to help out, now would be a great time.

On the localization front it looks like the Macedonian and Turkish localizations will not be able to make it, but Slovenian will, so we’ll still be in better shape l10n-wise than we were during the time of the 0.8 release.

For anyone interested, here are the 31 bugs fixed within in the last 10 days:

    With the bugfix: Allow CalDAV provider to work with Google Calendar’s new CalDAV, what will be the future of the google calendar provider? Which method is and will be recommended?
    I suppose the google calendar provider is better feature wise?
    looking forward to 0.9!

    Each of these update posts has a date at the top. Does the build currently available (dated for the previous day) contain all bug fixes listed or does the build with the same date (available at the end of the posting date or the following day)?

    I incorporate all the fixes into my posts, which are availbale at the time of writing.
    To be on the safe side to see them you will have to use tomorrow’s nightly build.

    I just installed nightly (august 22) over an old nightly and I got an error.
    http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6707/errorrl8.png
    [Exception… “‘Failure’ when calling method: [calICalendar::uri]” nsresult: “0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)” location: “JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Calendar/components/calItemModule.js -> file:///C:/Program%20Files/Calendar/js/calCalendarManager.js :: cmgr_createCalendar :: line 536” data: no]
    Is this related to the previous bug that lost the calendars?

    @Andrew, @stifux:
    The 20080822 nightly build is broken, see Bug 451827. It will be fixed with the next nightly build – once the linux and windows build server are back online. For the current time you could revert to the 20080821 build. All previous nightly builds can be found on http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/sunbird/nightly/
    @stifux:
    It’s not related to the issue in Bug 450256. That issue will be seen only if you installed the 20080810 nightly build.
