Agenda
- Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
- Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
- Callek for his RelEng work
- Tonymec for his bug triage sessions.
Action Items
(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.
NEW
- Ratty to see if he can round up some Lightning testers from the various SeaMonkey forums. comm-miramar builds are now available here. q.v. bug 653507 Lightning nightly builds for Miramar (Thunderbird 3.3 / Gecko 5.0) (
comm-central + mozilla-auroracomm-miramar + mozilla-aurora)
OPEN
CLOSED
- IanN to email Fallen to get some cooperation for getting a version of Lightning that is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1 out on AMO.
- Fallen said that he would rather we put our efforts into testing against the 1.0b4 release from comm-miramar than try and do anything from comm-2.0 there would be issues around L10n from comm-2.0. If enough decent testing can be done then he would be happy to mark it as compatible with 2.1 on AMO.
K.I.V.
- Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. We can still only wait on the Google front right now. Didn’t hear anything about open Geolocation service yet. No easy solution in sight.
SeaMonkey 2.1
open blockers (1)
blocker requests (0)
targeted (0)
fixed (60)
- Firefox 4.0 was released on 22nd March.
- SeaMonkey 2.1 RC was released on 12th May, based on Gecko/Mozilla 2.0.1, built from comm-2.0.
- SeaMonkey 2.1 final is scheduled for
16th May (“yesterday”)Friday 20th May (moved so we can have 1 full week with RC1 out). - The Add-on Compatibility Reporter has been declared compatible with 2.1, which should help getting SeaMonkey extensions on A.M.O. up to speed.
Further 2.1 scheduling:
- Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
- comm-2.0 is neither used nor supported by Thunderbird so InvisibleSmiley and Ratty have taken the responsibility for transplanting MailNews Core bugs from trunk as appropriate.
- Note: SeaMonkey will directly go the the permanent repositories, i.e. -aurora, -beta in addition to -central. Miramar is a Thunderbird-only release branch.
- There might not be any more official security updates to the 1.9.1 branch after the upcoming one, so we should get a stable release based on Mozilla 2.0 out as soon as we can.
Feature List, Planning
Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 46 new, 37 fixed, 30 triaged.
- A good amount of fixing and triaging happened. There are fewer outstanding reviews and feedbacks this time.
- Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!
Open reviews/flags:
29 review
12 super-review
0 ui-review
5 feedback
Major wanted/needed features:
2.1
Active
- We will need to look into Lightning, which is mainly targeting Thunderbird.
- Lightning 1.0b4 from comm-miramar needs to be tested against SeaMonkey 2.1. comm-miramar Lightning builds are now available at the ftp site.
- Due to recent Lightning patches/fixes, Lightning nightlies are now working again on SM trunk.
- Besides Lightning, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.1.
- Adblock, Firebug, Autofill Forms, SeaTabX,
- InvisibleSmiley has started maintaining a list. He’ll create a wiki page and post a newsgroup message regarding this.
- Useful query: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/extensions/?sort=popular
2.next
Needing help, Unowned, Stalled
For now only a drop zone for those bugs that obviously will not make 2.1.
- bug 460953 kill-rdf port [Closed].
- Ewong to create a new meta-bug and move any unresolved dependencies over plus a dependent bug containing patch G as well.
- bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
- SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
- bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
- bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 2.0) Composer. [kaze]
- kaze is currently busy with his new job so doesn’t have much time to spend on this.
- bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
- kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need 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 (
dmoseStandard8).
- bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 – Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
- bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
- bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
- A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
- MattATobin and MReimer
arewere looking into this.
- bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
- bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
- The rest is unowned so far.
- bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
- No l10n impact
- (InvisibleSmiley: ) Neil said “Actually our location bar history doesn’t and can’t use autocomplete at all.”, moving to 2.next.
Active
- bug 570004 Popup/”doorhanger” notifications [Neil].
- Implementation moved to bug 595810.
- lwthemes doorhangers are done, so are doorhangers in general, too?
- bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
- A lot of untangling needs to go on between the 3 editors that we have. We can expect a bit of code cleanup for 2.1 but full customization has to go to 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
- We need to finish bug 654864 soon, but none of Neil’s comments on bug 422845 triggered any response, so InvisibleSmiley feels reluctant to continue.
- One option is to create a TB patch and get a review.
We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted
Also the nominations need triaging.

- Some more build system review and coordination work going along with Callek producing SeaMonkey 2.1 final (as RC1 for now).
- More looking into SeaMonkey L10n sign-offs for 2.1 and problematic locales for 2.1, while Callek went to do a build2.
- Updated German website for SeaMonkey 2.1 RC 1, including relnotes, and sent announcements for it.

stefanh
Fixed:
- OSX bug 648086 (Prefwindow title change from ‘Preferences for x profile’ to pane title when selecting pane) by backing out bug 39113.
Any other business?
- InvisibleSmiley wonders whether we could have the Mozilla major version be our minor version, at least for starters (which would let us start with 2.5 instead of 2.2)
- [IanN] In terms of version numbers, perhaps the first question is what happens when we get to Gecko 10, and what happens when we want to increase our major version.
- [InvisibleSmiley] We could have minor version = Gecko version.
- KaiRo thinks a major version bump should be when something significant changes in SeaMonkey-specific stuff.
- Prior to rapid release, we bump our minor version about every six months. Now it’s every time FF increases its version.
- Discussion to be continued (but not today).
