Media (mreavy)

No updates

Necko (dougt/jduell)

  • HTTP/2:
    • we should be landing draft-8 this week. Working on draft 9 implementation
      • httpd.js is also up to draft 8/9 so we’ve got test coverage.
      • Akamai may also use our implementation for testing.
    • completed DNS experiment to see if SRV records usable to detect if http:// targets can speak HTTP/2: results seem promising.
  • New HTTP cache. Still on schedule for mid-february m-c landing.
    • Crash-recoverable cache index has landed on gum branch. Needs debugging.
    • Patches in progress for last major feature: eviction.

Seceng (grobinson)

  • Landed bug 713980: Logging blocked cross-site requests to the Web Console. This was a long-standing bug with a lot of requests for completion from web devs.
  • Landed bug 951895: fixes the SpecialPowers message manager in the B2G test harness. If you have tests that are broken/disabled on B2G (testing/mochitest/b2g.json) that use the Message Manager in some way, they might work now…

Shumway (mbx)

No update this week.

WebAPI (overholt)

  • console object coming soon to workers (bug 620935) (baku)
  • postMessage to targetOrigin (bug 949488) (baku)
  • work continues on async IDB in workers (bent, baku)
  • firming up rest of Q1 goals

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

MemShrink (njn)

B2G now has system-wide memory reporting. This is intended to supplant top, ps, procrank, and all the other ways of getting OS-level memory measurements. Please file bugs if you have ideas for extra stuff it should measure.

Paul Adenot fixed a terrible web audio memory leak.

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

  • Past week’s OrangeFactor: 7.51 (Previous Week: 7.74).
  • 10 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)

  • Overall numbers are OK, but tendencies for 27 beta and for 26 on Android point in the wrong direction (while 26 desktop shows improvements). We hope to have a few fixes in 27 beta 4, but we need to work on improvements for Android in the longer run. KaiRo is emailing Android stakeholders on that.
  • On Firefox OS, we found that some phones were released (again) with crash reporting disabled, we also need to follow up on that.

Roundtable

(Comments and questions that arise during the course of the meeting or otherwise do not have a section.)
