blocking
- bug 1224846 (esr45) – TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | toolkit/components/osfile/tests/xpcshell/test_read_write.js
- Fallen?
- bug 1250723 (esr45) – startup CRASH: C-C TB ASSERTION: can’t be your own parent aka morkTable::AddRow (v45 topcrash)
- rkent is taking this, reproducible result of exceeding limit of key size
- bug 1251120 (esr45)- crash in nsMsgI18NConvertFromUnicode (v45 topcrash)
- We really need a reproducible case, individual messages don’t do the trick. (wsmwk reproduces 100%)
- bug 1211291 (esr38, unknown in esr45) – Folders are visible, but messages are not. (?related to bug 1211358 lightning chrome.manifest not updated in 38.3.0 ?)
- nobody has a clue about what to do with this, leaning toward shipping 38.7.0 with not fix. (wsmwk) agree, ship without fixing it
- Bug 1162148 – Warning: Identity file /builds/.ssh/{ffxbld_rsa,tbirdbld_dsa} not accessible: No such file or directory (won’t be needed after esr38, fixed in 42) – status?
- Problems updating to 38.6 to do with Lightning bug 1249894 and its five duplicates. Two users attached their extensions folder.
- Isn’t this the same as the one above, bug 1211291?
important (but not top critical)
- status TBD – bug 1182629 – update to 38.1.0 from 38.0.1 re-enables disabled Lightning
- status TBD – bug 1176399 – Multiple master password when GMail OAuth2 is enabled
- status TBD – bug 1176748 – fix main thread proxies to the migration code (jorgk and m_kato helped in past)

clokep [not in meeting]
- Did merges on Monday:
- c-c is now 48, c-a 47, c-b 46, c-r 45
- c-esr45 was created and c-r was merged into it (after c-b was merged into c-r, thus c-esr45 has tb 45 code in it)
- Lots of GSoC stuff going on — Mozilla has been accepted, it’s not too late to provide more projects!
