Closed
Thunderbird 3 Beta 3
- Planned Freeze Dates ( All dates use time of 23:59 PST )
- Slushy String freeze date: TBD
- Slushy Code Freeze date: TBD
- Firm String / Code freeze date: TBD
- l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 freeze date: TBD
- Target Build Ship date: TBD
- dmose is release driver
- gozer is build engineer
- Search will be landing over the next week or two and then we’ll finish up the beta.
- try server build while the patch is being reviewed
- once it lands dates for b3 and b4.
- Beta 3 stated as the release for all work with serious downstream work impact (ui, backend, l10n, etc). Anything that isn’t like that should be pushed out into Beta 4.
- Driver ownership of bugs
- From a drivers conversation, requiring blocking bugs to be owned by drivers is being reconsidered. Drivers own too many bugs to drive them all. Changing this policy would help reflect reality better, so drivers will consider possible ways to relax/alter that rule for comm-central.
- Blockers/Wanted
- Note: numbers reduced due to b3 to b4 shift
- TB 3.0b3 – blocking 33 (-24)
- TB 3.0b3 – wanted 26 (+1)
- b3ux 15 (-9)
- Proposed Blocking (all milestones)
- Proposed Blockers (all): 23 (+1)
- Fixed:
- TB 3.0b3 – blocking 98 (+6)
- TB 3.0b3 – wanted 32 (+3)
Thunderbird 3 Beta 4
- Release Driver: TBD
- Blockers/Wanted
- TB 3.0b4 – blocking 27
- TB 3.0b4 – wanted 2
- b3ux TBD
- Proposed Blocking (all milestones)
- Proposed Blockers (all): 23 (+1)
- Fixed:
Thunderbird 3
We will have a beta4 – quick cycle for it.
- We’re planning on adding one more beta – lots of work is getting done but the blocker list isn’t going down as quickly as we need it to, mostly because of the reality that landing big new features adds bugs.
- Blockers
- blocking-thunderbird3+ 129 (-5)
- TB 3 Needs: 5 (0)
- Proposed Blocking
- Proposed Blockers (all): 23 (+1)
- Please set bugs to assigned status (as well as owner to you) if you want to do them.
- If you have other bugs assigned to you that you don’t want to do, please reassign or discuss with drivers.
- Infrastructure requirements are moving forward (AUS, 10.5 builders, statistics)
