Friends of the Tree

Alice “Alice0775” White has been a tremendous contributor for several years. Without Alice’s tireless efforts testing, filing bugs and writing patches, Firefox 4 would not be the great browser that it is.

(via robcee, joedrew, tn, etc.)

Aleksej for helping to moderate the Firefox 4 FIXED bugday and for helping out before the event went live. Also, Steve Scott (:pxbugz) for verifying 45 fixes.

Upcoming Events

  • Some people noticed that the Firefox Roadmap was updated recently
    • this is a draft document, last updated in December, and is subject to change
    • the approach of the document is to indicate priorities, and work with engineering to determine which projects can be executed to meet those priorities
    • after Firefox 4, we are proposing moving to a “delivery train” model with more frequent releases to deliver new technology to users and the web more quickly

Firefox 3.6 and 3.5

3.6.14 and 3.5.17

  • Found what looks like to be a new crash regression during the beta period (bug 631105)
  • We will not be releasing the security updates tomorrow
  • We will be rebuilding today and plan to ship next Monday (2011-02-14)

Mobile Firefox

    • Serbian [sr] suffered technical glitches merging in tons of languages, needs to recover
  • 5 locales with 32 to 83 missing strings. Those are more of a motivation/really shipping problem than anything else. Mails for outreach are under way. pt-BR, he, mk, bn-BD, gl are the locales. (See last string)
  • Persian is getting there, but still some 400 strings away.
  • 6 locales likely out of scope, each with a unique story. as, ka, km, mn, oc, vi.
  • For web stuff, timeline for special projects created by stas, check your new pet for conflicts.

Firefox Development

Platform

GFX

  • 8 hardblockers
  • 1 betaN blocker:
    • bug 629016 – blocked on test slave upgrade to 10.6.6.
  • We still need help from people who can reproduce bug 603793, menu disappears on submenu mouse over.
    • If your menus disappear on Windows, please contact joe@mozilla.com.

Layout

Plugins

  • bug 626602 (fixing transparent windowless plugin rendering by copying backgrounds)
    • We have working code
    • Patches going up for review
    • We also have a plugin rendering performance benchmark based on “GUIMark3”. It quantifies the perf hit for not taking bug 626602 (massive), and is helping us optimize.

Content

  • 14 hardblockers left, all but 3 actual bugs are plugin issues

Tree Management

  • Need downtime for
    • [hardblocker] OSX 10.6.6 upgrade on test machines (~2hr, all branches) bug 629509
    • ftp partition re-org (~5h, all branches) bug 614786
    • Try server reset (~5h, just try) bug 629268
    • graph server changes (??, all branches) bug 623386
  • proposing Thursday morning, early morning Pacific 6am-8am PST for some or all of the above

Stability Report

  • Beta10 – Top crasher Bug 628152 was under the radar in early Beta10 testing, then exploded. Fixed for Beta11.
  • Trunk – Some stability issues mostly due to Bug 629912. Now fixed. A couple of other regressions due to additional accessibility fixes.
  • Missing symbols for some crash signatures – A problem introduced when we moved the Sicorro data center to Phoenix. The solution for getting the build symbols to Phoenix is not performing (taking 15 hrs). Many signatures like xul.dll@0x189e71 scattered in crash reports. No visibility into what the crashes are – risks there.
  • Although we are doing well stability-wise for FF4, we are tracking all the crash signatures that are new to FF4 and not in 3.6.13 and their status. We have already determined we cannot fix some of these but still worth keeping on the radar since we don’t know what will happen when we release. We may need to provide some emergency fix for something. https://wiki.mozilla.org/CrashKill/Firefox4#Crash_Regressions_From_3.6.13

Roundtable

  • We’ll be going through the beta blockers right after this meeting. Also, triage will happen, too. Stick around and talk about your beta blockers.
  • Should we take bug 355178 on beta 11? (ehsan)
    • An analysis of the risks and benefits is available here.
    • We need this for beta 11 if we decide to take it for 2.0.
  • When to tag Beta 11 (clegnitto)

Product Status Updates

Firefox 4

  • We’re still processing the feedback, but beta 10 looks great!
  • Firefox 4 is awesome. Users want us to release. We’re doing great work (~318 bugs fixed since beta 10) and converging, but slightly slower than anticipated
  • We will decide about beta 11 (and a possible 12) by this Tuesday (tomorrow)
    • See the newsgroup post for reasoning / options
      • tl;dr – If we think we can get all betaN hardblockers by this Friday, we will build this Friday. If we think they will take longer, we build this Tuesday to get coverage for the >318 fixes we already have

Firefox 3.6

  • 3.6.14 and 3.5.17 are on the beta channel, look good so far
  • Currently on track to ship the 8th (on schedule)
  • The proposed schedule for 3.6.15 and 3.5.18 will be sent around this week

Mobile Firefox

  • Beta 4 real coming soon

Thunderbird

  • Lots of progress on various planning pieces from last week’s off-site; watch for details around Thunderbird 3.3 and more to coalesce in tb-planning.

Older Branch Work
