Thunderbird 3

  • Draft Thunderbird:Thunderbird3:DevRoadmap identifies major work items on the plate for Tb3 — much of it needs scheduling, owning, breakdown.

QA Updates

  • crash stats
    • 1.9.1-based Mac crashers mostly have symbols in crashes, but not all
    • The OSX/Intel problems can most likely worked around for the RC, by simply running dump_symbols repeatedly until it runs once without failing. bug 450485
    • should we have our own server?
      • gozer to talk to mrz
  • bugday last week 10-02 and this week 10-09 continue focus on trunk bugs. chart
  • thunderbird-testers operating and now up to 53 members! (public mailing list to inform the testing community)

Roundtable

  • folks encouraged to run with gloda, lightning-in-tabs patches now, so they can get shake-out before they land. ping asuth if you’re interested.
  • calendar work proposal from last meeting: pace work in short sprints
  • everyone encouraged to focus on highest-value stuff for Tb3, given the amount of work remaining

Status Updates

davida

dmose
  • drove/blogged renaming of 3.0b1 to 3.0a3
  • worked on adding recipient info to collapsed header view and sharing of buttons between both views
  • lunch w/lisad & myk about webmail standard
  • correspondence with XMPP community folks
  • various driving stuff
  • gloda review work

nth10sd
  • Tested emre’s leak patch and asuth’s gloda / exptoolbar extensions.
  • Would like to point out the ever-existing security exploits in JS. Just found one that affected JS. (specifically Shiretoko nightlies but indirectly TB with JS on, if it can be enabled)
  • Continuing bug cleanup. UNCO continues to remain below NEW.

jcranmer
  • kill-rdf testing and work
    • Subscribe dialog under review bug 457333, will land separately
  • Account type extensibility documentation
  • Will have long weekend, more time for TB work!

Standard8
  • Reviews & Driving (trying to catch up this week)
  • Release Notes updates bug 457186 and bug 430762
  • bug 427980 Mail Bloat Test – Revised and updated patch, now in tree.
  • bug 308552 Worked out why Growl integration wasn’t registering correctly and fixed.
  • bug 458692 Removed unused param from nsIMsgHeaderParser interfaces.
  • bug 458716 Fix return/escape on the inline edit card dialog
  • Started rapid-prototyping new nsLDAPConnection & friends to try and finally resolve the LDAP/SSL hang on shutdown, (the true cause of bug 382446)

asuth
  • tab changes for calendar, thunderbar search views bug 402365 (also see exptoolbar and gloda)
  • gloda shutdown cleanup; don’t think it ever worked right since the last cleanup logic refactoring
  • processing gloda review comments, more to go. hoping to have them the current batch cleared out by sometime wednesday. See auto-generated docs here if you like that kind of thing. They will of course be improving as I fill dmose’s request for thorough doxygen. (We have the goal of landing gloda this week.)

bienvenu
  • Reviews and Driving
  • Fixed assertion trying to restore selection to non-existent message, bug 457757

      • Ghetto automation kept it fairly straight forward, mostly completed in < 4 hours and little human intervention.
      • Entire process still too reliant on cut-n-paste
      • Cloning turned out to be a great idea.
      • Very few glitches (one broken locale needed fixing, retagging: ‘ca’)

  • L10N
