WebRT

  • bug 918309 – Import and use public domain JNI.jsm implementation – fixed leak, but it keeps crashing in libdvm on automation
  • bug 1035999 – Multiple prompts (notifications) about available app updates – looking into using JNI to get class name to definitively identify webapp activities

 let Log = Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/AndroidLog.jsm", {}).AndroidLog.bind("MyModule");
 Log.d("This is a debug message.");
 // Outputs "D/GeckoMyModule(#####): This is a debug message."
  • I have stopped listing the runtime bugs to which members of my team are assigned. I’ll continue noting significant progress. Use Bugzilla for the rest! (Here are my Android runtime bugs.)

QA

Garvan

  • Based on discussions with Richard and Nick, some more refactoring on the storage module and upload module
  • Stumbler: Pulled the use of a db-backend, now file-based (and memory, if network is available, doesn’t flush to disk). Required significant refactor.
  • Getting code reviewed by stumbler folks, then passing the stumbler service to Richard and Nick for final code review
  • Needs one more hook into Fennec for triggering the upload
  • Need to get a MozStumbler beta out with these changes
