Feedback Summary

Desktop

21 seems quite stable at this point. No urgent issues to report. One small issue to report around UI changes.

Menu Item Change - We are seeing user confusion around moving the “clear recent history” button. Feedback is low at this point, but could increase as more users update. We suggest an educational push similar to the Private Browsing changes.

Scrolling is laggy Comments around scrolling being laggy/mouse only?. May be related to perf problems we saw during the beta.

Untrusted connections (from last week) - Spike died down May 15th/16th.

Updates not completing (from last week) - Only seems to have been May 13th, otherwise, still seeing comments but at a more normal level.

Mobile

21 is a very smooth and stable release. YAY!

We now have automated feedback tools, please ping Tyler if you want access.

UX & User Research

Fuller update to come (will update the wiki). For now, some highlights:

Market Insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team

Mobile

The first Jolla phone was revealed and made available for pre – oder for 399 Euros. A device with a dual – core processor and a 4.5 – inch display, it will be able to run Android apps with the help of Open Mobile’s Application Compatibility Layer. It will not support the Google Play Store, though, so applications will need to be loaded through other venues. Besides Android, it will support Qt and HTML5 apps. The value proposition is branded “The Other Half” and speaks to the device’s ability to adapt its design, settings and apps as the user applies different hardware elements (like a cover) to it, as it acts through her day. Jolla will be providing a few of them, but it invites collaborators to create those accessories. The device will ship before the end of 2013.

Opera launched the stable version of its Webkit – based Android browser. Based on Chromium 26, the app will likely switch to Blink once Google has integrated it into Chromium. It holds most of Opera’s signature features, such as the proxy – mode, Speed Dial home page, and Discover panel, which lets the user browse through the day’s top news. Available for Android 2.3 or newer, this version does not support tablets yet and has a 4.4 star rating.

Samsung has acquired a 10% stake in Pantech, the 3rd largest Korean smartphone manufacturer. While significant in the country, the device maker has had little success outside of it, where is sells in the low – end in some of the emerging markets. Another stakeholder in Pantech is Qualcomm with 11.96%.

The 2012 Kaspersky Security Bulletin Board claims that 99% of the newly discovered mobile malicious apps target Android. The rate of discovery is going up, from 8 new unique programs in January 2011 to 8 times that amount at the end of 2012. There are 3 main types of malware: SMS Trojans, that send messages to premium-rate numbers, backdoors which provide unauthorized access and allow the installation of other malicious programs, and spyware as the 3rd category. These 3 types account for 51% of the newly discovered malware.

http://www.kaspersky.com/about/news/virus/2013/99_of_all_mobile_threats_target_Android_devices

Telefonica has announced a deal with Samsung to integrate its carrier billing backend into Samsung’s mobile services. Using the BlueVia payment APIs, Telefonica’s 316 million users who use Samsung’s app portals and services would be able to charge content directly to their phone bill. The rolle-out will be gradual, starting with Germany.

ZTE has announced that is will begin selling phones in India with 5 devices priced between $105 and $270. The smartphones will be available in major cities starting with October and could be followed later by tablets. Important because ZTE is one of the top 5 worldwide phone manufacturers and India a country with a great deal of potential in the long – term and staggering growth in smartphones sales of 75% Year – over – Year.

Key Issues

Mixed content blocker merged to Aurora (tanvi)

Firefox’s Mixed Content Blocker merged from Nightly to Aurora this week.

When an HTTPS page contains HTTP resources, the HTTP resources are
called Mixed Content. With the latest Aurora, Firefox will block certain
types of Mixed Content by default, protecting our users from
man-in-the-middle attackers and eavesdroppers. To learn more about this
feature, check out these links[1].

We are proactively trying to find websites that have compatibility
issues and alert web administrators. For those of you using Firefox
Nightly or Aurora, please let us know if you encounter any sites that
are broken due to the Mixed Content Blocker. You can do this by leaving
a quick comment on one of the following tracking bugs:

Mixed Content Compatibility Issues on Mozilla Affiliated Sites: bug 843977
Mixed Content Compatibility Issues on non-Mozilla Sites: bug 844556

  • Android database issues bug 778935 and bug 752828 are still the most serious unsolved issues present on release. Is there additional data we need, or can we at least make the user experience better by catching the errors and presenting a message to the user?

OrangeFactor

  • Past week’s OrangeFactor: 6.88 and trending downward (Previous Week: 8.66).

  • Good news, everybody!
    • Joel Maher found a workaround for the Android NSS crash (bug 761987). Efforts to find and fix the underlying cause continue in bug 871575.

    • Mike Habicher fixed a bug in the AOSP code used by the B2G emulator that fixed nearly all B2G test crashes in bug 867996.
    • Bobby Holley landed a patch which fixed one of the most frequent mochitest asserts we were hitting in bug 860941.
  • bug 856027 (Un-hide WindowsXP opt xpcshell tests when the failure rate isn’t unacceptably high) needs an owner or the tests should be disabled. All logging patches have landed.
  • New Windows iX test slaves were brought online. Tracking a few new failures, primarily in media code – bug 872748, bug 872760, bug 872788, bug 872996. All are currently unowned.
  • 22 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

    • bug 855683 (JP tests) and bug 869939 (migrate stuff from addon bar to navbar) – blocked on decisions regarding addon-bar removal, talked with jetpack folks and mconley, posted to fx-dev, waiting on finalizing discussion there + ux feedback

    • landed bug 853083 (tabs left margin on windows without the app button)
    • lots of stuff about bug 853415 (weird overflow bug), seems we’re now going to able to fix it by never hiding the navbar
    • Started work on never hiding the navbar in bug 870545 and bug 752434.

SeaMonkey: 2013-05-14

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 11:00 pm

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty

  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank TBA

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • —

OPEN

  • Need to reward the nominees of the friends of the fish tank from this year!

CLOSED

  • —

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • No Windows langpacks since 8th April on trunk. Needs investigating.

    • Comment from mcsmurf on this: Not clear what is meant by this, please clarify. xpi/win32/ folders on FTP server look fine. Also file a bug if something needs to be investigated/fixed.
  • The Java on Linux bug has been tracked down to being due to our (SM’s) build config. Basically our RelEng team needs to check whether we can switch to linking libstdc++ dynamically, like FF and TB do. See: bug 754622 Oracle/Sun Java jre1.7.0_04 and later does not work in SeaMonkey.
    • In the mean time, InvisibleSmiley has added the workaround to the 2.17 and 2.18 release notes.
  • Tinderbox is going to be EOLed. We need to move the SeaMonkey tinderboxpushlog off.
    • Mostly done now, just a few loose ends.

    • Callek has gotten up and running a newer version of TBPL (that doesn’t depend on tinderbox) for testing. This will be deployed eventually to replace the current TBPL code we are running.
    • Mcsmurf needs to talk to Callek to see if tbpl can get more memory (some PHP(?) setting?) as sometimes fetching a log fails due to not enough memory (See bug 845844).
  • Intermittent issue with Mac OSX64 Debug Leak log comprehension. Issue tracked in bug 774844. Also see possibly related Thunderbird bug 806492.
  • Two remaining machines on Parallels are the buildmaster (cb-seamonkey-linuxmaster-01) and Linux64 (cb-seamonkey-linux64-01). These need to be migrated to ESX. Specifically:
    • sea-vm-linux64-1 will replace cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 (and running jobs now).

    • sea-master1 will replace the current buildmaster.
    • Both our buildmaster and cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 are down due to hardware failure. This means no builds and no releases until they are replaced. After two days of help from DCOps, Callek has decided to cease all recovery operations and concentrate on setting up the puppetmaster to get the ball rolling on getting our new buildmaster out. Therefore, our 2.18b5 and our 2.18 release are cancelled. instead will go directly to the 2.19 series of betas.
  • bug 740633 set up seamonkey HPs in scl3. Hardware installed and iLO configured. CentOS 6.3 installed.
    • Awaiting puppetmaster fully prepared to instantiate as Linux Mock-Based slaves
  • sea-puppet (one of said hp machines) is ready to be configured as a puppet master (bug 827079), needs audit of the manifests and settings creation.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* eventually. Jcrammer is working on this.
  • release.mozilla.org does not track the SeaMonkey project anymore (bug 850339) [WONTFIX]. Instead SeaMonkey URLs pointing to releases.mozilla.org have been redirected to ftp.mozilla.org bug 871120.
  • bug 865976 Cannot build SeaMonkey on Linux since Bug 842927 (Implement DOM3 KeyboardEvent.key only for non-printable key, first)

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.18b4 shipped May 3.

  • Due to hardware failure, SeaMonkey 2.18b5 and SeaMonkey 2.18 are cancelled.
  • Instead will go directly to 2.19 series of betas and by the 24th June, the 2.19 final. This means that users of 2.17.1 will be going directly to 2.19.
  • If Firefox decides to do a dot release, we might go for a 2.18 later.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.

  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • There are now Lightning versions for both SM 2.17.x (Lightning 2.2b1) and SM 2.18 betas (Lightning 2.3b1) available on AMO.
    • Might need to point out in release notes that users needs to install the Lightning beta versions for the SeaMonkey releases (as Lightning follows Thunderbird 17.0.x release schedule)
  • Shipped extensions (DOMI, CZ, Venkman) compatibility:
    • Extensions are now compatible by default thus mitigating the issue. Although some people still disable c-b-d and run into issues.

    • SeaMonkey 2.18 will ship ChatZilla 0.9.90
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
    • Meanwhile Callek made some changes to the tags that SM pulls (CZ, Venkman, DOMI) for comm-central. See comm-central changeset 347b255c4810.
  • Nightly Tester Tools is being actively developed by xabolcs (coder) and whimboo (reviewer) to make it more compatible with comm-central in general and SeaMonkey in particular. See Issues · mozilla/nightlytt · GitHub.

    • Nothing significant at the moment.
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Note: Please file bugs if you notice any landing on mozilla-central that might break us. Please don’t depend on Ratty noticing such landings.

    • bug 769764 move proxy resolution to separate thread and remove sync api. Tracked in:
      • MailNews bug 791645 Rewrite calls to synchronous nsIProtocolProxyService::DeprecatedBlockingResolve with Async code before DeprecatedBlockingResolve disappears as well.
    • bug 737615 Remove use of synchronous cache API from unit tests. Tracked in:
      • bug 804972 Remove synchronous calls to nsICacheSession::openCacheEntry in SeaMonkey tests.

      • Mcsmurf says this is almost fixed but there was a test failure. He will close this bug and open a new one for the failure.
    • bug 793634 Force builds to be compatible with gtk 2.18/glib 2.22. Tracked in:
      • bug 795354 Migrate SeaMonkey Linux builders to CentOS 6.

      • bug 794772 Port |Bug 713802 – Build with GIO support (and drop GnomeVFS)|. This is dependent on bug 795354.
    • bug 795144 default –disable-gnomeui icon theme support
      • porting bug needed for the two configure.in changesets? Changes could be folded into bug 794772 above. *** IanN and Ewong are looking into this..
    • bug 839034 move markPageAsXXX methods to nsINavHistoryService. Tracked in:
      • bug 845895 Fix markPageAsXXX usage in Seamonkey.

Feature List, Planning

Private Browsing is now mostly complete and uplifted to 2.18. Most things should work but some edge cases have probably been missed. Hopefully any remaining bugs will be found before its release.

  • Testing would be appreciated! Please file bugs as blocking the meta bug 460895.

  • We need to figure out if we want a new about:privatebrowsing page which someone will have to write (bug 842439). We also don’t have any help content yet.

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 35 new, 14 fixed, 14 triaged.

  • Low-Medium triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags:
23 review
7 super-review
2 ui-review
6 feedback

  • bug 847546 Support Retina Display (HiDPI) on SeaMokney on MacOS X.

    • Ratty thinks we will need 2x PNGs as well as other changes. See Core Tracking bug 785330 for supporting HiDPI mode (Retina Display) on Mac OS X.
  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
    • Ratty suggests featuring one or more bugs from that page at each meeting.
  • Featured helpwanted bugs:

Good First Bugs

  • Note: The GFB list is open to all including our regular contributors.

  • Ratty is working on an updated GFB list, suggestions welcome.
  • New GFBs recently added:
  • Currently there are 24 GFBs open, 2 are being actively worked on. bug 735333 needs some help getting this running on the try-server. Mcsmurf is assisting.
  • List of Open mentored bugs.
    • Ratty notes that there are 23 bugs that are GFBs but without the mentor keyword. These need to be audited to see if they are really suitable as GFBs.
  • Mentors of stalled bugs should try to communicate with the assignees and if they can’t work on them any more to unassign/free up those bugs.

Scott (jwir3)

Last Week:

  • bug 847872: Reflow zoom on double tap only (r+, but I’m having some difficulty with tests – specifically testVkbOverlap on Android and I’m kind of blocked on this before I can land).

  • Looked into bug 864595: Assertion failure in caretPositionFromPoint. I have a solution, but it’s not quite ready for review.
  • bug 862763: Performance of nsLayoutUtils::FontSizeInflationEnabled needs some work (in review).

This Week:

  • Land reflow-on-zoom on double-tap only.

  • Land HResize performance enhancement for reflow-on-zoom.
  • Finish implementation of last solution for bug 836565 that queues one event for each document to be reflown in nsDocumentViewer, for responsiveness (this might not be necessary).
  • bug 766599: Reframe to prevent crash in nsFontInflationData (this will allow us to dynamically change font inflation prefs without a reload).
