Major Topics for This Week

Monitoring Beta

Now that Fx14 Beta is in the Market we are monitoring feedback and crash-stats closely. We’ll keep monitoring the stability and feedback throughout the beta period.

Tablet UI Milestones

In response to the feedback we have been getting from Fx14 Beta, we are looking into ways to get some native traction for tablets. We know that in order to support tablets with Native Fennec, work needs to happen on the UI and on Flash support. Some short-term planning has been happening to see if we can start landing small, well scoped, patches into Fx15. There is no guarantee that anything would be uplifted into Fx14.

Round Table

QA

Socorro/Breakpad/Stability

Hightlights:

  • Socorro team is ramping up for b2g, rapid beta, and some other projects.
  • Filtering of data in place for official builds
  • This week should include:
    • URLS (if you have admin access) in the result for a crash signatures
      • bug 550538 – Provide easily-accessible list of URLs-for-signature to logged-in users
    • Java crash signatures w/ address location should be pooled together as one crash signature
      • bug 726385 – replace 8 digit hex addresses with a placeholder within Java signatures
  • Hoping that Beta 3 will hit target of under 10 crashes per 100 ADU

Socorro bugs:

  • bug 727286 – Incorrect messaging when failing to submit a crash report
  • bug 672606 – Aggregate numbers and topcrashes for Nightly and Aurora channels based on build ID date instead of crash date

Skiplist

Breakpad Integration bugs:

  • bug 750348 A large number of devices are not showing up with the device identifiers
  • bug 717472 – Can’t retrieve crash report that shows in about:crashes
  • bug 732629 crash report failed to send due to : javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Not trusted server certificate
  • bug 738168 Moving Fennec to the SDCard will prevent crash reports from being copied to the profile, ie no crash report will be reported to Socorro

Please see Platform Meeting Notes for Stability report

SUMO

  • All docs are ready for L10n
  • Feedback has slowed to ~20 reviews per day
  • For beta2 (sat-tuesday) the large % of low reviews are for crashes and instability
  • For issues also reported on SUMO, I’m adding [sumo] to the bugs
  • For tablets, users really want flash and speed followed by desktop view and tab switching (low reviews on tablet have slowed to 18% of all reviews for Beta)
