Release Train
- 2.11 shipped July 17
- 2.12b1 shipped July 21
Extensions Compatibility Tracking
- See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
- Addon Compatibility Listings
- Nothing to highlight.
- Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
- sgautherie thinks that the current DOMi branches/tags are not suitable for automatic SeaMonkey branch selection.
2.x (Last, Current, Next)
- 2.10 had ~79,800 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.10.1 had ~119,700 downloads so far.
- Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 12.4% on 2.0, 3.9% on 2.1-2.3, 6.0% on 2.4-2.6, 2.5% on 2.7, 4.0% on 2.8, 7.0% on 2.9 and 64.2% on 2.10. So, in the last two weeks, ~1.8k (an additional 1.5% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
- Since 19th June ADU numbers have been dropping, any ideas why?
- Firefox has also seen numbers dropping. People have suggested that this is the normal summer drop that we’ve seen in past years.
- ADUs still falling but not as fast.
- Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
- The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for “Legacy Platforms” e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to seamonkey-ppc (2.10 and 2.11b3 for OSX 10.5.8) TenFourFox and Tenfourbird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
- Someone needs to step forward and take ownership of this.
- See Basics page for the usual reminders.
2.11
open tracking (0)
tracking requests (11)
targeted (2)
fixed (25)
- One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
- 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
- The plan was that Callek needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
- The ka owner came back with a bundle of l10n changes to get checked in. Callek to look into doing that, and try to identify if ka will be sustained going forward before completely abandoning.

Business as usual.
Any other business?
- Bug Day: Should we looking to do a bug busting day in the next 3 months?
- Useful link: [4].
- Tonymec emailed the members@ list asking for what? when? but no replies so far. That was 10 July with a followup on the 11th.
- IanN suggests that we go for the top 3 or 6 in the list tonymecc sent out, and probably September or October whichever is most convenient. Tonymec suggests 21-22-23 September. No objections raised.
- Geolocation
- Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.
- For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we’re not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
- No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
- Test failures
- qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.
- Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
- tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
- IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
- Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
- Ratty is ***still*** waiting for Serge.
