SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: “We don’t have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time.” – We can only wait right now.

CLOSED

  • We need bug 483980 back-ported from trunk to fix our History Import bug bug 484175. Ratty to raise the issue in mozilla.dev.planning.
    • It looks like the branch patch will definitely not make 1.9.1.2. We hope that we can get approval for 1.9.1.3 however.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1

  • RELEASED on June 21!
  • 132 FIXED bugs targeted seamonkey2.0b1
  • Some regressions filed, but generally good feedback.
  • Anything else to note? Things to change in future releases?
    • Releasing in 17 languages seems to have worked nicely.
    • Partial updates appear to be working without problems.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2

open blockers (2)
blocker requests (3)

  • IanN will start triaging nominations.
  • Schedule not set yet.
    • According to Standard8 a rough estimate for the Thunderbird 3.0b4 cycle would be four to eight weeks.
    • A possible freeze date for September would be sometime in mid to late September.
    • SeaMonkey should target a freeze date of 1st September so that we have room to assess the situation and to push it slightly back if needed. We would then expect at least a week between freeze and release, as Firefox does.
    • Standard8 expects comm-central to branch soon after Thunderbird 3.0b4.
    • Target milestone and flags for 2.1a1 should be created in any case.
  • We might want to take bug 474701 depending on how it works out in Thunderbird.
  • Tabmail is the largest missing feature.
    • Prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support in final.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (3)
blocker requests (38)
open wanted (12)
wanted requests (21)

  • IanN will start triaging blocker and wanted requests.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 64 new, 26 fixed, 96 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

  • Download manager aftermath:
    • All fixed. Only enhancement bugs going forward.
  • Toolbar customization aftermath:
    • bug 481862 We still need small button icons for modern in MailNews. Needs someone who understands both css and svg/graphics.
    • Ratty will start on Message Compose and the css for the Default theme. Modern can be dealt with later.
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • status/update?
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update.
    • No News.
  • bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
    • stefanh has posted a new patch.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for “SeaMonkey Default Theme”.
    • No News.
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
    • OpenSearch is now targeted for 2.Next.
  • bug 460953 Port jminta’s kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • There isn’t any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don’t break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.
    • If nobody picks up the JS-driven folderpane it will have to be pushed back to 2.Next as well.

Roundtable

Platform/2009-07-21

From MozillaWiki

« previous week | index | next week »

Notices / Schedule

Firefox 3.0.12

  • shipping today

Firefox 3.0.13

  • work on your blockers
  • code freeze on August 4
  • please request approval before landing

Firefox 3.5

  • Over 35 MILLION downloads so far!

Firefox 3.5.1

  • shipped an early release last week due to 0-day

Firefox 3.5.2

  • using the new flags for triage
  • goal of this release should be a quick-turnaround that:
    • topcrash fixes, security/stability patches
    • narrow scope, small changes
    • contrary to some reports on the Internet, this is the usual process for Firefox and software releases; the 3.5 release was strong, stable and solid, and feedback has been extremely positive. Near the end of the release we become extremely conservative about patches to accept; the 3.5.1 release is a quick update to fold in some patches that came up late in the 3.5 release cycle.
  • we will be going through approval1.9.1.1 flags and triaging them; no need to change them to approval1.9.1.2 flags

Firefox 3.6a1
Notes from today’s meeting on branch and alpha schedule:

  • Our current plan is to branch for 1.9.2 on July 31st. There are several items that must land and become stable before we branch (All discussed below).
    • There are several bugs related to ireflow that bz must fix.
    • Phase I of Compositor is to land after dbaron finishes review.
    • All bugs that block the branch must be marked blocking-1.9.2+ and have P1 priority status. Please mark immediately.
  • We will try to do an alpha before we branch on July 31st. Since time is short, we will make the call whether or not an alpha is even possible before we branch, on Friday, July 24th. Even then, things are tight, and it’s quite possible that we won’t have time for an alpha.

Blocker Report

Gecko 1.9.1.2 / Firefox 3.5.2

Gecko 1.9.2 / Namoroka

Browser / Front End

  • Asynchronous location bar: one visual glitch outstanding
  • Focus rewrite: two bugs left, one needs Karlt
  • Form awesomecomplete: done this week
  • Responsiveness: ongoing
  • Ctrl-tab: moved behind pref
  • Polish update: Firefox is 59% shiny (0% change)

GFX Update

  • bug 753 – landed!
  • Landing bug 753 means that it’s now possible to make informed decisions about the individual pieces that depend on it.
    • Decode-on-draw is working pretty well, but has a lot more bugs to go. Bobby Holley is going to be sprinting on it this week, and we’ll likely be able to make a call on it this time next week.
    • Aero peek backend, bug 501490, is just awaiting review, but also depends on some other bugs. Will be ready.
      • Backend code also contains a taskbar framework that other Windows 7 enhancements depend on.
  • Windows 7 enhancements that depend on Aero peek’s taskbar/superbar framework:
    • Aero peek frontend bug 474056 is coming along, and will likely be ready in time.
    • Download status in the superbar, bug 474060, probably won’t make it for 1.9.2, but sid0 is working on it.
    • Jumplists, bug 473045. Should be in 1.9.2, will probably make it?
    • All the above should be ready by mid-August – soon enough?
  • Windows/Windows 7 enhancements that don’t depend on taskbar/superbar:
    • Window docking on Windows 7, bug 489258, is just waiting on review for both 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.
    • Parental Controls:
      • bug 355555 – Content blocking by parental controls. In progress.
      • bug 423587 – Extension manager install blocking parental controls – up for review.
    • Cleartype
      • bug 504698 – Windows XP doesn’t have Cleartype (subpixel text AA) enabled by default, which has upset some downloadable font-using authors. Fix is going to be to add a hidden pref, default to on, to force Cleartype on downloadable fonts. This will be submitted for 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.
      • Question: Do we want to default Cleartype on for all content? That’s what IE does. (Probably want to check in backend support for this, then let products make their own call. 1.9.2 only.)

Other news:

  • topcrasher bug 470487 fix seems to have worked! Backport to 1.9.1?

Layout Update

  • Patches on 1.9.2 radar
    • Compositor phase 1
    • CSS gradients
    • CSS background-size
    • bz’s framelist cleanup
    • Core Text?
      • wanted for better OpenType support (esp. Arabic, relevant for @font-face use), and for broader testing as Core Text is required for 64-bit
      • requires moving builds to 10.5 SDK (bug 504179), then adding –enable-coretext configure option to mozconfig
      • changing SDK introduces risk of incompatibility with 10.4; need to maintain testing on 10.4 until we officially drop it as a supported OS
      • known sqlite issue on 10.4 in bug 423691 (has workaround)
  • Patches probably waiting for post-1.9.2
    • Font system unification cleanup
    • Remove float placeholder splitting
  • Disable interruptible reflow for 1.9.2 default

Content Update

  • Making progress on XBL2!
  • Continuing followup work for the HTML5 parser (check out parser/html/java/README.txt)
  • Working out what it means to have more than one Java plugin.
  • Focusing on the remaining interruptible reflow regressions.

Mac OS X Update

  • Markus Stange is very close to having a completed patch for fullscreen in 1.9.2, bug 420491.
  • 64-bit Mac OS X port blocked on gfx bug 493280.
    • current intention is to land 493280 on trunk right after 1.9.2 branches; is it wanted earlier?
  • Cocoa NPAPI event model close to finished, part of it landed, most of the rest under review. Lacking complex text support at the moment.
  • Steven Michaud fixed two topcrashers (bug 503196 and bug 503391). landed a patch to support plugin printing (bug 191046) and is reviewing Josh’s Cocoa NPAPI event model patch (bug 435041).

JS

Security

  • Content Security Policy wrapping up implementation. Hoping to land before 7/31 1.9.2 branch date, but ok with missing alpha (if there’s an alpha before branch)

Electrolysis

  • Fixed MSVC8 and GCC 4.1 build bustages
  • Buildbots should be in production tomorrow, if things go well
  • Fighting with mixed size of wchar… chromium requires 4-byte and we require 2-byte for NS_LITERAL_STRING to work. Several complicated preprocessing schemes are being discussed, but none are especially pretty
  • Starting a small subproject to demonstrate multiprocess+fennec: because Fennec doesn’t use native widgets the same way, we need to ship bitmaps across the wire as well as remote mouse and keyboard events

Tree Management

  • intermittent woes:
    • talos redness caused by failed posts to new graph server. bug 476208
    • win32 build failures caused by NTFS file system woes “circular directory” bug 496712
  • Places project branch handed over last week – no complaints??!?
  • Electrolysis branch coming online tomorrow morning.
  • filling out Tracemonkey
    • enabling mobile linux-arm builds tomorrow morning bug 505219
    • unittests, talos coming next week?
  • Infrastructure load:
    • may 2009 New high-water mark of 108 pushes (~1,749 jobs) on 20th may 2009.
    • june 2009

« last meeting | index

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • We need bug 483980 back-ported from trunk to fix our History Import bug bug 484175. Ratty to raise the issue in mozilla.dev.planning.

OPEN

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: “We don’t have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time.” – We can only wait right now.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1

Bug Queries

open blockers (0)
all blockers (2)
blocker requests (0)

  • Triage of the remaining blocker nominations?
  • Beta 1 freeze today at 23:50 PDT
  • Blocker bug 484175 (History Import from SeaMonkey 1.1.x is not working): how can we progress? Do we need to really block this Beta on that problem?
    • The fix depends on back-porting bug 483980 from trunk back to 1.9.1.
    • Nobody else seems to have noticed the problem (no duplicates) and there is a workaround.
    • No objections to moving this bug from b1+ to b1- and b2+ and to relnote it.
  • We need start a wiki page to list the things we should relnote for B2 including the password issue.
  • Tabmail is still missing. It needs a bit more work and reviews, but it’s reaching a usable state. It will not make this beta so we will push this to b2.
  • We are ready to roll 2.0b1 builds as soon as we have L10n cutoff.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 2

Bug Queries

open blockers (2)
all blockers (2)
blocker requests (3)

  • We might want to take bug 474701 depending on how it works out in Thunderbird.
  • Tabmail is the largest missing feature.
    • Prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support in final.
  • According to Standard8 a rough estimate for the Thunderbird 3.0b4 cycle would be four to eight weeks.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted (11)
wanted requests (21)

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 34 new, 15 fixed, 38 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

  • Download manager aftermath:
    • bug 474622 Enable action keys (Del, Enter, Space) and double click in new Download Manager – landed
    • bug 490464 Update the Download pref pane for use with new DLMGR – landed
  • Toolbar customization aftermath:
    • bug 481862 We still need small button icons for modern in MailNews. Ratty will work with Misak to get the small icons finished.
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • A new patch has been submitted and is undergoing reviews. Most of the remaining issues are cosmetic.
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update. prometeo has stepped up to work on this.
    • No News.
  • bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
    • stefanh has done some work on Mac but hasn’t posted anything new yet.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for “SeaMonkey Default Theme”.
    • No News.
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
    • We probably need to move this item to either Beta2 or 2.next.
  • bug 460953 Port jminta’s kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • There isn’t any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don’t break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.
