Any other business?

  • Now that feeds are in mailnews we probably need to get some reorganisation of components in bugzilla.
    • We should talk with the mailnews people on what they want on this.
    • We should also file a BMO reorganization bug to track SeaMonkey/Thunderbird requirements.
  • Thunderbird is moving towards building mozilla-central nightlies as well as mozilla-1.9.1 nightlies. What are SM plans on this?
    • We don’t have the hardware for this at the moment.

KaiRo

rkent

The last few weeks I’ve been preparing and releasing extensions that use features from the backend work I’ve been doing for the last year. Details are available at http://mesquilla.com. Now I’m working on the last one, TaQuilla, which will implement soft tags (automatic tagging using the Bayesian filter.)

After that, there are some bugs that still affect me and my extensions that I’d like to squash. For example, I still regularly have my message DB blown away on some folders, plus there are some known cases where the app still blows it away, such as in certain message copies. There will also be some additional backend work needed by my extensions, such as separating the Bayesian filter a little from junk processing, and adding support for direct playing of ogg vorbis files from XPCOM. I would love to improve the support of extensions in TB by supporting installing of extensions directly from a TB browser. I also want to think about how to expand the scope of existing message filter search criteria – for example by adding support for custom search criteria.

rebron

Two week goals (end of week 2):

  • Support documentation, audit (see what we have on .org and .com) and plan for what we need for beta 2 and final release.
  • Web site production hand-off to silver orange and global teams.
  • Update SpreadThunderbird with analytics module, events module and printed materials.

  • With 0.8 we now have support for detecting and showing Firefox 3.1 specific information for people running that (beta) version. Going to start adding content for these users on the most common issues articles shortly.
  • Thanks to Wil Clouser, we now have SUMO support in Verbatim, meaning localizers can translate the site UI using this interface, which is a lot more straightforward than the built-in SUMO UI. I’ll be blogging about this tomorrow with more info on how to log in.

  • Various discussions regarding longer term planning and testing infrastructure.

IanN

  • Fixed Core/… (but SM related) bugs:
    • bug 458847 colordepth.html TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL on my Windows 2000: 24<->32 bit colors mismatch

Standard8

See Thunderbird/StatusMeetings/2008-12-16#Standard8

stefanh

  • Started to work a bit on bug bug 460699 (Make the default theme look better on mac). Fixed a couple of minor ui bugs.

wladow

Any other business?

  • Standard8 suggests adding an “Account Manager” component under Mailnews Core since most of our account manager code is shared at the moment and it doesn’t make sense to fork it.
  • Date of next meeting.
    • 30th December and 6th January are holiday periods for most people, but 13th January is too long between meetings, especially if we plan to freeze for alpha3 on 29th January. Instead we will hold a short meeting with only the roundtable and “any other business” on 30th December to see where we are on our way towards alpha3.

Thunderbird Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? –> asuth nth10sd (Gary!)
  • Minute taking Schedule. Talk to davida for schedule changes/additions.

Calls For Help

Action Items

New

  • dmose – Strong mandates of shipping one month after Firefox.
  • dmose – Suggest to drivers about a new flag for potential post-TB3 blockers.

Open

Closed

  • dmose: Add simon and gozer to drivers list

Thunderbird 3 Beta 2

  • Drivers meeting last Thursday.
  • Probably not much would be done in the next week or two — Christmas / New Year.
  • Dates below may get pushed back.
  • dmose notes about Gecko’s code freeze dates in Jan.
    • Standard8: Jan 13 Code Freeze, Jan 15 QA, Jan 26 Release according to their plan.
  • clarkbw is release driver
  • gozer is build engineer
  • (Slushy?) Proposed String freeze from: Monday 26th January 23:59 PST
  • (Slushy?) Proposed Code freeze from: Thursday 29th January 23:59 PST
  • We need to make decisions as we triage blocking bugs below – will they eventually make it into TB3?
  • i.e. get them assigned or push them off..
    • Those that get pushed out beyond TB3 should have a flag to track them – dmose to suggest this to drivers.
  • Sidenote – SeaMonkey probably will release an Alpha in line with TB3b1, a Beta in line with TB3rc, and a final a couple of weeks after TB3.

Thunderbird 3

QA Updates

  • Past bugdays
    • Since bugdays started, we have commented in or closed ALL Thunderbird UNCO bugs (excl. enhancements) that haven’t had a comment since TB 2.0 release! (2007-04-07 to be exact)
    • So far bugday has touched over 4,700 bugs, of which over 1,600 resolutions changed, accounting for one third of all (non-FIXED) resolution changes since bugday started (4,800)
  • Next bugdays
    • Will be whacking at the corresponding NEW bugs (excl. enhancements). Queries are at the bugday wiki pages.
    • One last bugday this year — Christmas and New Year both happen to fall on a Thursday, so no bugday after 12/18 until 1/8/2009.
  • Crashes

Roundtable

  • Standard8 would like to propose we add an “Account Manager” component under the “MailNews Core” product – the code is shared, and I don’t see it needing to be split. Would probably make bug management easier.

Status Updates

Standard8

Two week goals (End of week 2):

  • Move to toolkit password manager (in progress)
    • Made the decision to not migrate the password manager list to reflect up to date passwords – too many issues, not good enough solutions at the moment. Probably revisit post TB 3. This makes the task easier.

      • Required so that toolkit password manager can use IOService.newURI.
    • LDAP already submitted bug 419595

    • tracked down a number of mozmill/jsbridge/mozrunner integration issues.
    • Currently blocked by the mentioned mozmill issues – mainly that when using mozrunner/jsbridge the APIs are limited such that we can’t actually choose to run Thunderbird.
      • MozMill team is working on improving APIs, hoping to get an updated version this week.
  • Write down extended roadmap overview for the address book (based on discussion during MoMo work week).
    • Started this, need to arrange meeting to discuss.

Other work:

  • Build Config
    • bug 469392 Let MOZILLA_1_9_1_BRANCH define work in c++ code.
    • bug 469396 Don’t re-read version.txt when we don’t need to in our own tree.
    • bug 469655 Drop intermediate makefiles in mail/themes
    • bug 469835 Wrote patch for having different version numbers on comm-central + mozilla-central builds (versus comm-central + mozilla-1.9.1 builds)
  • Misc
    • bug 469090 Edit vcard in Account Manager broken.
    • bug 469797 Hopefully fix nsUserInfoUnix so that displaying the User’s name in the account wizard will work correctly for non-ascii names.
    • Finished bug 462147 – allow TB to migrate SeaMonkey 2.x profiles.

Two week goals (Start of week 1):

  • Complete Password Manager migration
  • Complete moving Leak and Bloat to Mozmill
  • Lead Address Book discussions
  • Investigate fixing LDAP Issues with threads and shutdown.
  • Look at Performance tests
    • Get some rough ideas of what & how.
    • See if we can get a Ts structure in place (or something else)
      • This would be useful for jemalloc and assessing implementing a packages-static file for unix.

  • native JSON
  • DNS prefetching
  • elliptical border-radius

Booked but not yet completed

Roundtable

  • QA would like to remind developers to mark their bugs fixed1.9.1 when they land them on the branch, as then QA can go along and verify them.
    • see “blocker report”, above, for a list of bugs that might actually be fixed on 1.9.1 but not have the keyword set!
  • Proposal: use fixed1.9.2 and verified1.9.2 for trunk bugs.If when a trunk bug is fixed, it was marked with the appropriate fixed and verified keyword, we would always be clear where the bug is fixed and would not have this continuing confusion. Thoughts?
    • this is the way we’ve always done things
    • sometimes (even now) it’s unclear that 1.9.2 will indeed be the next branch
    • people felt like trunk is trunk, and we should be using FIXED and VERIFIED keywords that way
    • QA could also add the verified1.9.2 keyword (or verified-next-milestone-here) in addition to using verified as a way of helping, though
