Friends of the Tree

  • Karen Prescott, for finding the Summit Posters
  • Armen nominates wx24 for helping him with all the Windows 64-bit SDK/compiler setup and on-going support. Overdue mention Makoto Kato for the initial setup with Windows 64-bit as well,
  • Vinicius Medina, for being an absolute rockstar the last few weeks and helping to coordinate all flight travel and hotel arrangements for community sponsorships to FISL in Brasil.
  • The SUMO team wants us to recognize Collin Sasse as a Friend of the Tree for helping lead SUMO’s Twitter effort after the Firefox 3.6.6 major update and 4.0 beta releases. He’s been an awesome contributor for over two years, making a huge difference with our social network outreach and our response to Firefox updates. This week, he’s replied to hundreds of tweets from satisfied beta users and from people having trouble with the update, letting them know we care and have resources to help. Thanks a lot for all you’ve done (and continue to do!) to make the Mozilla community great!
  • Asa would like to see Robert Accettura thanked for keeping planet additions and changes up to date. It’s a thankless job that’s a key to keeping up with the Mozilla community.

SeaMonkey:StatusMeetings:2010-07-13

From MozillaWiki

« last meeting | index | next meeting »

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

CLOSED

K.I.V.

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says they don’t want additional specific consumers of the service right now and want to enable some general way of accessing it “some time” – We can only wait right now. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

SeaMonkey 2.0.6

open blockers (1)
blocker requests (0)
fixed (46)

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 2

  • SHIPPED last Wednesday!
  • 700 downloads so far.
  • yesterday, we had 165 installations of that version reporting in.
  • Since we started issuing alphas, we have more than doubled our active daily installations of 2.1 – we had been at ~200 before (nightlies only), yesterday we had 516 (These include both nightlies and alphas).

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 3

open blockers (5)
blocker requests (1)
targeted (0)
fixed (4)

Trunk Status (after XPCOM registration changes):

  • We have tests up and running with being a bit worse than before those changes.
  • Right now we need to clear up editor bustage from the rules.mk change.
  • Venkman and Chatzilla are still only using temp workarounds though Neil has done a more permanent fix for Chatzilla.
  • Static builds don’t run. NeilAway might have a patch for that.
  • calendar/lightning still have issues.

(Further 2.1 scheduling:)

  • Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
  • Plans for 2.1: 6-8 weeks per milestone, a3 in late July or early August, b1 in August/September, and a final in October/November.
  • This seems to match recently presented Firefox 4 plans relatively well – they’ll go for beta really soon now and Final in the same timeframe as we have in those plans right now.
  • It would be good to get OOPP (Out Of Process Plugins) for SM2.1 but we need some way to build libxul to be able to build OOPP. Various Mailnews work has to be done (and is being done) for that to be possible.
  • The freeze for Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 has been carried out, and the Mozilla/Gecko version has been bumped to 2.0b2pre.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 29 new, 7 fixed, 7 triaged.

  • Fix rate is down, but that’s probably due to tree closure. Triaging would be useful, though…
  • Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • No news from InvisibleSmiley; a closed tree and hot weather don’t exactly help…
  • bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn’t pay a price for having Venkman installed [Mnyromyr].
    • Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.10 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration) which depends on bug 480851 getting fixed on trunk.
    • Mnyromyr hopes to get to look into Venkman now that he’s released Mnenhy 0.8.
    • status/progress? Any hopes that this will still make 2.0?
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].
    • Landed on trunk, Callek and mcsmurf working to get it onto branch.
    • No progress as everybody has been concentrating on fixing the xpcom issues.

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie].
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
    • status/progress?
  • 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.
    • status/progress?
    • The current consensus it to get some basic functionality going with OpenSearch first. And then later to see how much of the old functionality we can reimplement in follow-ups.
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
    • Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
    • Currently unowned, helpwanted.
  • bug 498596 Places bookmarks. [KaiRo]
    • New patches and try builds are up, please test them! Still hope that Neil find time for reviews.
  • bug 480734 Satchel data editor (“Form Manager”).
    • will be implemented in terms of Data Manager, see below.
  • bug 569341 Data Manager [KaiRo]
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
    • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. We’re still trying to work out some organizational issues.
    • At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That’s something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmose).
    • status/progress?
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
    • Still needs quite a bit of work.
    • status/progress?
    • bug 522023 is working on improving the browser globe in task icons, etc..
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
    • Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
    • The rest is unowned so far.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 97023 Search/Find in page UI: toolbar instead of dialog [bfrisch].
    • New patch addressing review comments is there, probably ready for checkin with that.
  • bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
    • status/progress?
  • bug 467867 [META] Implement Firefox TabBrowser API in Seamonkey [misak].
    • status/progress?
  • bug 563261 Lightweight themes / personas [KaiRo].

We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted
Also the nominations need triaging.

  • We need to find a solution for Lightning, which is targeting Thunderbird 3.1 now.
    • Lightning 1.0 beta 1 is for SM2.0 and TB3.0, 1.0 beta 2 is for TB3.1 (Gecko 1.9.2). Further versions will probably be for 2.0-based releases.

Platform/2010-07-13

From MozillaWiki

« previous week | index | next week »

Meeting Agenda

We agreed to change the format of this meeting. Instead of going group by group and asking for any updates, we will discuss specific progress on goals for this quarter: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2010-Q3-Goals

We’ll keep the notices, schedule, and blocker report sections for now.

Notices / Schedule

Firefox 3.6.7

  • Shipped to beta last Friday, have about 430k ADU (likely due to FF4)
  • Found a crash regression (bug 578150). Got a fix for it yesterday
  • We will be spinning a build #2 today, hopefully it will go to beta tomorrow

Firefox 4 Beta (Version 2)

  • would like to ship on or about July 22nd
  • means freezing early next week, on or about July 19
  • what are the big pieces we want to get in?
    • Tabs-on-top on OSX
    • Add-Ons Manager UI post-install confirmation/notification
    • CSS transitions
    • Retained Layers
    • currently too many blockers
      • suggest that drivers resist marking things betaN unless they are absolute P1 next-to-do items
      • otherwise should mark blocking final+ and then pull them back to betaN

Blocker Report

JavaScript Team

We have a plan for our Q3 goals: https://wiki.mozilla.org/JavaScript:SpiderMonkey:PathToFirefox4

ES5

Landings

Other work

  • work on Function.prototype.bind beginning, considering two approaches (one cleaner but larger, one smaller but slightly more hackish)
  • tweaks to RegExp.lastIndex to conform to ES5’s tighter verbiage on the property awaiting review
  • arguments.toString() === "[object Arguments]" changing shortly in bug 509733, an incompatible change in ES5

Firefox Development

  • Feature complete Firefox 4

Layout

  • CSS transitions on transforms landed (with parts of calc)
  • Retained layers passing tests on try-server, but a few bugs to work out found by testers
  • Layer-based CSS transforms (including accelerated 3D transforms) in demoable state!

Windows 7 Test Status

We must have our trees green on Windows 7 to ship Firefox 4.
We need owners to make this happen (some already got owners since yesterday’s owner-hunter – thanks to rsayrer!).

  • tracking bug for the various win7 32-bit unit tests orange bug 562489:

Review of the proposed assignees:

Here is also the Direct 2D oranges which need assignees:

  • bug 578110 – [tracking bug] reftest Direct 2D oranges

Please be conscientious when uploading photo and videos from the Summit. We live in a pretty public bubble and while many people may be fine with uploading images and video, lots would prefer not to be tagged.
