Thunderbird 3
Main Bugs Progress
- Account Configuration bug 422814 (davida)
- Backend changes have been checked in
- beta 1 discussion: concern about this making b1 given the work to be done, lack of usage to date, possible patch collisions
- beta 1 idea: bring it in as experimental via pref, so ship 2 account configs
- Password Manager bug 239131 (standard8)
- LDAP patch waiting review (completes ldap changes) and update
- Starting to look at rest of changes, i.e. smtp
- Inline card dialog bug 450724 (standard8)
- Inline Edit Card dialog now avaliable via clicking and using menu option.
- Star UI: prototyped, need to do proper version, know what the UI wants to be, may be interative.
- Improved Message Reader View bug 449691 (dmose)
- Second patch posted for ui-review
- Toolkit autocomplete migration bug 360648
- Waiting on one ui-review from
Beltznermconnor - LDAP code needs doing – current proposed version seems to regress the SSL error on shutdown, needs the LDAP xpcom interface (between AB & LDAP c-sdk) reworking.
- Waiting on one ui-review from
- Gloda bug 450494 (asuth)
- Review of first big ‘drop’ ongoing.
- Investigating performance issues that would seem to be related to cycle collection.
- Need to revamp indexing to work with Emre’s auto-offline-sync. This primarily means letting the sync be responsible for getting message bodies, for gloda to more actively ensure things that should be indexed are indexed, and also be more gentle about it (adding info to the headers where appropriate.)
- davida has proposed exposing gloda’s full-text search support via the quick-search interface’s “body text” support. AI:asuth:log the bug (and work the bug).
QA Updates
- crash stats still in turmoil – some problems fixed, but some new…
- report processing and query problems continue
- because of c-stats’ problems, can’t be sure of TB trunk’s crashiness – but 3.0b1pre shows only one crasher (nsTreeSelection::GetSingle) which is FIXED
- last week bugday focus continued on Patch Love – 14 such bugs touched in last 2 weeks.

asuth
- gloda development
- Investigated spidermonkey threading to understand ramifications of moving gloda indexer to its own thread. The js concurrency turns out not to be a huge problem, it’s just the general lack of thread-safety in mailnews and the high costs of proxying combined with a frequent need to proxy.
- Investgiated sqlite threading ramifications with regard to async and concurrent access by main/async threads.
- Now uses asynchronous storage functionality for all post-init db writes. Resumed using transactions under async mode to boot.
- Should no longer crash at shut down, generally cleans up after itself.
- Index per-message subjects now too.
- Index attachment names, ignoring bogus attachments. (Attachments whose names are “Part 1.*”.)
- gloda-related debugging
- found/fixed crasher in mozStorage async
- trying to assist in debugging by using chronicle-recorder (roc’s valgrind based super-logger/debugger) against unit tests. Made a minor (but annoying to track down) bugfix to chronicle-query, and various bugfixes/enhancements to my chroniquery python binding/tool.
