Security Review Needed but Unscheduled
Stability Report
Socorro
- Small Socorro release coming tomorrow, no major changes for developers.
- Work being started to support ESR in Socorro within this quarter.
- bsmedberg and ted are working on some stackwalking issues that cause wrong signatures or stack frames to appear:
- bug 726570 – MSVC2010 issues
- bug 709209 – browser-side hang signatures (even on MSVC2005)
- The patches in the former might fix the latter, but we don’t know for sure. Seems like they will improve stackwalking significantly in any case and might change signatures due to that.
