Notices / Schedule

Firefox 4

• 22 non-blocklist bugs without patches (out of 51 open) that remain to be fixed to get to RC.
• 91 non-blockers being fixed in the past seven days, and 84 actual blockers fixed.
• 22 hardblockers remaining without patches.

400-500 bugs fixed since February 3. This level of churn is too high to reach stability, so we need to focus more on hard blockers.

Firefox 3.6.14 and 3.5.17

• Still on hold while we investigate bug 633869
  • Looks like people have mismatched bits / frankeninstalls
  • Thanks to blake and chris for investigating from the JS side yesterday
• Adobe really wants us to release as they are worried one of the fixes will become a 0 day

Firefox 3.6.15 and 3.5.18

• Waiting to send draft schedule until 3.6.14/3.5.17 is resolved
