Actions from Last Week

Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases

Firefox Desktop

Release (3.6, 6)

  • Went out yesterday, yay!
    • Tracking a couple of issues, one in specific bug 679604. Not planning to respin at this time as there is a quick/simple workaround that fixes it
    • They sent us a cake

Beta (7)

  • We have builds, QA is looking at them…still plan to push to the beta audience on Thursday
  • Have the great memory fixes and we are porting forward a trivially safe fix with big wins from Aurora (bug 678422)
  • Two new localizations, Mongolian (mn) and Swahili (sw). These will follow the new scheme of beta builds in the rapid release cycle, that is, we’ll not create release channel builds for them until they’re out of beta.

Aurora (8)

  • We have builds, QA is looking at them…still plan to push to the aurora audience on Friday
  • Firefox Aurora has CORS, we should be ready to point people to it when our partners announce certain things

Nightly (9)

  • Setting up the tracking flags for Bugzilla bookkeeping (bug 679792)
  • Orion editor is being turned on for Scratchpad (bug 679475)

Firefox Mobile

Release (6)

Published to Android Market on Tue, Aug 16: Read full article | see more Press Coverage and PR info below

Beta (7)

Builds started earlier this week. Expected to go into Android Market as “Firefox Beta” end of the week.

Aurora (8)

  • Master password support landed just in time for merge over, please test!

Nightly (9)

Firefox Sync

Add-on Builder

Add-on SDK

Release (1.0)

  • fully compatible with Firefox 6, no hotfix release needed

Stabilization (1.1)

  • third test build, 1.1b1, spun and distributed yesterday, Tuesday, August 16 (release announcement)
  • fourth test build, 1.1b2, on schedule for next Tuesday, August 23
  • initial draft of release notes now available
  • release remains on schedule for Tuesday, September 13

Development (1.2)

  • development continues apace

Input 4.3

  • Nothing new -> No ETA just yet; IT’s having resource constraints that are limiting the amount of coverage for projects across the board.
  • Bugzilla-part of Tell Us More is being reviewed; The Input-part will be done 1st or 2nd week of September and deployed soon after. There will be a new product called “UnTriage Bugs” created with a “Firefox/General” component where bugs filed from the app will reside. We’ll need to figure out a triage team to work on this. If you’re interested in joining in this group, please e-mail adesai at mozilla dot com

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Stuff from before the release:

  • Exc in ev handl: TypeError: error (possibly caused by McAfee?)

Top issues (Firefox 6):
(Well defined problems)

  • Java Not compatible (Users get a Java console not compatible warning… and correlate that with Java not working on some pages): https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/861953
    • These should have been just removed but not all were cleaned up, see bug 654131. This shouldn’t be an issue in the future
  • Add-on window doesn’t finish loading (need to click on a button on the side) — https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862087
  • Disable domain highlighting
  • Extensions (As expected, a ton of extensions aren’t compatible causing complaints):
    • Norton (update was available yesterday – see Norton community post for info, requires LiveUpdate)
    • AVG (update was pushed last week according to AVG, available via AVG client update)
    • Roboform
    • Avast
    • Reload Every
    • Evernote
    • HP printing
    • some FTP extension (?)
    • Foxtab
    • Download manager
    • Web DynPro
    • Firebug
    • Skype (update was pushed yesterday, from discussions with Skype. Skype update required.)
    • Morning Coffee
  • Websites:
    • Fafsa

(Less well-defined problems — either stuff on input or with one-or-two reports or the symptoms are unclear… I’ll investigate these further tomorrow)

  • Outlook links don’t open in Firefox anymore (?)
  • Suddenly really slow (I’m starting to suspect a firewall or something throttles us until it figures it out)
  • Crashy (“40 crashes so far and counting”)
  • Some missing graphics on webpages (I couldn’t reproduce any of the links given but it’s a bunch of different reports)
  • Lost Sync settings/bookmarks (possibly bumped to a new profile)
  • Problems with middle-button scrolling/trackpads

Mobile

General insights: Numbers are still small enough to be anecdotal, working on mining more data from android market reviews going forward and publishing less frequent reports to make them more reliable.

UX & User Research

Market Insights

Desktop

  • Microsoft launched a blog for Windows 8 with additional details around a social media strategy concerning the upcoming release. BUILD, Microsoft’s new name for its professional developer conference, is taking place the week of September 12th and has already sold out.  , It is expected that Windows 8 (and probably IE10) will be released as Beta at BUILD.
  • A new stable build of Chrome was released, which includes Instant pages (prefetching of first result on a Google search) and a print preview. 
  • The new tab page in Chrome has evolved; where previously a user would see history and apps in one place (and their bookmarks if not enabled in the chrome of the browser), now the user is presented with a “swipeable” page, where they can move between the categories Most Visited, Apps and Bookmarks: scrolling is horizontal, rather than vertical.
  • Chinese search engine Baidu released its own Chromium browser, codenamed FlyFlow, it came ready with an app store containing 30,000 apps.

Mobile

Summary below, full update here and in your inbox.

  • Google intends to buy Motorola Mobility to consolidate its mobile patent portfolio and potentially also to enter the TV equipment business.
  • Android now accounts for 20% of the smartphone installed base of 750 million.
  • Opera announced partnerships with:
    • Telling Telecom, a mobile phone distributor in China, with whom it launched a mobile browser called Oupeng
    • MTN, a carrier operating in South Africa and 20 other African and Middle Eastern countries
    • Terra, a Brazil-based Internet company which operates a Web portal and an ISP in the US, Spain and 16 Latin American countries
  • Samsung is rumoured to be looking to significantly enhance its software capabilities as it competes with Apple in the smartphone business
  • Fusion Garage launches an Android kernel-based mobile, named Grid, which will be featured on a 10-inch tablet and a 4-inch handset

Thunderbird Development

For more details, see also the driver meeting notes.

Feature Work

Account Provisioner
OpenSearch
  • Blake is away this week, so no updates.
Test Pilot
  • Trying to get Thunderbird Test Pilot support landed at the moment
  • Once it lands, we’ll be looking at doing some studies! We’ll probably start that on a Beta phase, and then we might push it out to some percentage of release channel users.

Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

[protz]

Finished working on Gloda patches, I have a series of 6 patches that should considerably boost gloda performance. Next: improve about:telemetry so that people can use try builds to measure how much that makes the situation better for them. Ideally, testers would use Conversations to make sure Gloda is put under as much stress as possible. Just tried with and w/o the 6 patches. Size of global-messages-db.sqlite went from 220MB down to 164MB. That’s a 25% size reduction!

About to start working on layout, and also writing mozmill tests for Thunderbird Conversations (just realized that 12000+ lines of code with no tests is on the verge of being an untenable situation).

Also, improved Thunderbird Conversations as usual by fixing bugs and implementing a few UI-related fixes suggested by Bryan. Will try to work with Andy to do a visual refresh of the UI.

We’re at 50,000+ users, but we can always use more!

Conversations 2.1 will be coming out soon, which fixes quite a few bugs.

Compose in a tab
Account Summary
Ubuntu Unity Integration
  • It’s official – Thunderbird will be the default e-mail client in Ubuntu Oneiric!
  • So far, EDS Contacts Integration add-on feedback has been positive.
  • Ubuntu Oneiric has gone into feature freeze, which means that the EDS provider for Lightning won’t get bundled this cycle.
    • Canonical knew that it was a long-shot to get EDS Lightning integration in this cycle, so it wasn’t a dealbreaker

Schedule and Progress

Thunderbird 6
  • Releasing today! We’re about half-way done.
  • The release is out on the website, but not yet in the update channels. This will probably happen within an hour or so.
  • This is the first release that’s fully gone through each of the 6-week channels, so it’s official – Thunderbird is riding the train!
Thunderbird 7
  • Merges to beta today.
  • The Earlybird branding is going out later this week
  • The channels page for getting Earlybird and Beta builds will be coming out soon, too
  • Daily branding will also be landing soon.
Thunderbird 8
  • Merges to earlybird today.
Thunderbird 9
  • Development starts on trunk today.
Thunderbird 3.1.x
  • Regular security release is going out today
  • Bug Lists: 3.1
  • The 3.1 series is going to keep going while we discuss how to work with enterprise users. Once there’s a way forward there, we’ll close down the 3.1 branch.

Extension of the week

    • To opt out in automated-testing profiles, set toolkit.telemetry.enabled = false

GFX

  • The Cairo update looks like it’s going to stick despite the regressions, mostly due to the benefits mobile got from it. Please let us know if that’s a bad choice.
  • bug 660264 – Tp4 regression due to D3D9-accelerated layers – we’re still working through the issues here, but we believe that this doesn’t actually affect users. Please see that bug for more discussion.

Other

  • Shockwave issue emerging across all versions Bug 679148

Actions from Last Week

  • Jen follow up on sync bustage in FF5
    • No root cause found in Sync since the FF4 to FF5 Sync code is almost identical. Resetting the key solves the issue. See Sumo Article.
    • This seems to be hitting users who were old Weave users. The Sync Add-on will be EOL’ed in this week and this should help.

Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases

    • Then we are pulling mozilla-beta to mozilla-release and building final today
    • Then we will ship mozilla-release to the desktop beta channel before the weekend to make sure nothing screwed up (should be no content changes but it would be silly not to test what we will ship!)
    • We will ship the build off mozilla-release to the release channel on 2011-08-16 if no issues are found

Aurora (7)

  • mozilla-aurora → mozilla-beta source migration is on 2011-08-16…< 1 week

      • We don’t think this will happen (otherwise we wouldn’t have taken the 2 fixes!) but I wanted to call it out

SeaMonkey Meeting Minutes: 2011-08-09

SeaMonkey/StatusMeetings/2011-08-09


« last meeting | index | next meeting »

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

<script>if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = “show”; var tocHideText = “hide”; showTocToggle(); } </script>

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
    • Please note A person or entity can’t be nominated twice in a row.
    • mrw for caring about comm-central when he was doing his PRBool->bool patch.

Action Items

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

NEW

  • Jtek has volunteered to oversee the details of the SeaMonkey tee-shirt shop. KaiRo will connect him with the contact we have at Zazzle.

OPEN

  • We should find a better way of getting nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank.
    • We could put out a call for nominations the week before then, at the time of the meeting notice going out we could include any nominations (We need to come up with a quick FAQ as to what merits a nomination). IanN has put out an email to the members list. InvisibleSmiley came up with some sensible suggestions.
    • We need to advertise such a thing happens even if it is only in the meeting notice.

CLOSED

  • IanN to triage the 2.2-tracking bugs, and move as needed to the appropriate target version.
  • More people need to help out with taking of the meeting notes. Ratty to send an email to SeaMonkey-members list summarizing what needs doing and asking for people to share duties.

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.
    • KaiRo has heard that Google is doing a revamp of their location service, maybe they’ll finally make it available publicly so we can use it.

Release Train

  • For comm-aurora, we also should regard strings there as much frozen as possible. In the future, string freeze is the uplift from central to aurora, which matches Firefox.
  • If we have any actual fixes that don’t need L10n changes (not enhancements) on central but not beta, they should go there if possible.
  • Bug authors and/or reviewers should request relevant approvals for comm-aurora/beta when necessary.
  • Callek is working on getting comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
  • The last beta of 2.3 has just come out and we’ll have about one week to release (still on target for release on 16th August).

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley, with help from some community members like DERoss.
    • Recent changes can be found here.
  • AMO has a compatible version of Engimail now (not yet compatible with SM 2.3), and one for Lightning (compatible with SM 2.3).
  • Besides Lightning, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.x.
  • InvisibleSmiley created a 2.1 FAQ Wiki page. Everybody please help update it.
    • The FAQ should be version-agnostic and have version updates mentioned in it so Jens or whoever won’t need to keep changing the version numbers.
  • KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development.
  • The whole FAQ/AddonCompat information needs to be re-thought with versions in mind but InvisibleSmiley lacks the time to do it. It’s a wiki so we can try to offload it. Ratty suggests involving imput from seamonkey-members and/or mozilla.support.seamonkey.

SeaMonkey 2.2

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (0)
targeted (0)
fixed (26)

  • The New 2.2 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.
  • AUS updates from (2.0 -> 2.2 and 2.1 -> 2.2):
    • 2.1->2.2 is a minor update and should be online as automatic already.
    • 2.0->2.2 is a major update (MU) and is online now, too.
  • 2.2 had ~59900 ADU yesterday, 186218 downloads so far.
    • vs. 47441 on 2.0 (and 3281 on 2.1). So another ~16k have migrated over in the last two weeks.
  • The release notes now mention / provide a link to fixed security issues in Firefox in order to support our mantra that you need to install updates to stay secure. We might want to add a dedicated page for SM, though.

Follow-ups and Issues

  • Lost Bookmarks bug 673474 and Cookies bug 673672 on auto-update from 2.0.14 to 2.2.
    • Bookmarks can be re-imported from bookmarks.html.
  • A XUL Core bug causing symptoms like: [fixed for 2.3]
    • bug 671192 Command “Paste without Formatting” in message window is missing.
    • bug 672258 Wrong context menu can be shown if two different windowtypes have the same contextmenu id and xul cache is enabled.
    • IanN has implemented a workaround suggested by Neil for the context menu issue, the core bug is still there though, but only we seem to be exposing it at the moment.
  • Regression in Addressbook (bug 671251 Cannot drag & drop contacts to another address book) [fixed for 2.3].
  • Regressions in the Mail Advanced Search Window (bug 671605 Search window does not allow to open second message from result list) [fixed for 2.3].
  • Users are unhappy about various UX and usability issues with the new Data Manager.
    • Ratty proposes that until all the major pain points are addressed, links to the old individual managers be established (probably from the various Data Manager panes).
  • [InvisibleSmiley] We need to try harder to fix regressions ASAP. I feel there is still too much delay. IMO regressions from the last stable version need to be addressed with top priority, especially in light of the rapid release train.

SeaMonkey 2.3

open tracking (4)
tracking requests (0)
targeted (0)
fixed (16)

Schedule:

  • SeaMonkey 2.3 Beta 2 was released on 3rd August 2011.
  • SeaMonkey 2.3 Beta 3 was released on 7th August 2011.
  • The release date for 2.3 final is still on schedule for 16th August.
  • Users on 2.2 will get updated to 2.3 at release time. Anyone on beta channel is updated to 2.3 already.

Progress:

  • Several breakages (AB, opening MailNews search results) have only been fixed after 2.3b1 was tagged. 2.3b2 contained them, and 2.3b3 will be even better.
  • The changes list should now include the Gecko patches that we’ve put into our release branch.
  • Callek and InvisibleSmiley have been working hard on the 2.3 releases with Jens doing the website work.

Further 2.x scheduling

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 77 new, 36 fixed, 29 triaged.

  • New bugs seem to be outstripping fixed/triaged but still a good amount of triaging going on.
  • Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags:
33 review
12 super-review
1 ui-review
6 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

Active

  • Kill-RDF:
    • bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object. [serge]
  • bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
    • Progressing slowly, still waiting on reviews from TB side. Full customization has to go to 2.next (currently 2.5 but will probably be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
  • de-RDF bug 654864 has been finished and landed on all development branches, including comm-beta (2.3). Still to do:
    • Neil wanted to follow up on some listener issues
    • for the selection issue, see what the TB guys come up with in bug 669203
  • bug 515734 Provide More Entries in the Win7 Jumplist Tasks list. [Callek].

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

  • Kill-RDF:

    • 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 (Standard8).
  • 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.
  • 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.
    • Note: Our location bar history doesn’t and can’t use autocomplete at all.
  • bug 677484 Individual SeaMonkey components are not properly handled by the Windows 7 taskbar.
  • bug 654009 Reply to list: automatically determine From: address

  • I closed up the first round of providing updates for linux64 builds by putting up the snippets for also offering the SeaMonkey 2.0.14->2.2 “major update” (bug 666573).
  • My Data Manager patch for support of bare IPv6 addresses that also makes other cases more problem-proof got reviews and approvals and I landed it for all branches, including beta, so it’s in SeaMonkey 2.3b2 already (bug 665826).
  • I continued work on Data Manager’ website storage support, but the test is giving me headaches, so I only attached a preliminary patch (bug 588415).
  • Still, I did post a new Tahoe Data Manager version 1.4 on AMO that includes all this work and should be a significant jump forward for the add-on.
  • Reviewed and approved some sign-offs both for SeaMonkey aurora and beta localizations.
  • Synched up German L10n of SeaMonkey with recent trunk changes.
  • Had a phone call with a reporter from local media, he used that in his article about B2G (German language).
  • Once again, I updated my patch for L10n-specific file removals on update (bug 592574), but I’m starting to give up hope that any of my mozilla-central patches will make it into the tree in foreseeable time – either my work is unwanted there or I’m to dumb to make it in a way that reviewers can swallow it. As I have more productive work to spend my time on as well, the motivation isn’t really there to push on those much any more, in either case.
  • I pushed another German Planet design update done by Elchi3 (bug 668986) live, thanks for the nice work!
  • Also, I added Manuel Strehl to the aggregator (bug 676545), welcome to planet.mozilla.de!
  • I reviewed and pushed a number of small fixes to the German L10n overall (bug 667238, bug 667083, bug 666881, bug 666880, bug 666879, bug 666877, bug 666876), fixed some addressbook access keys (bug 669150, up to here affects all branches), updated DOM pieces of the L10n to current and renamed “Absturzmeldung” to “Absturzbericht” as that word matches better for crash reports that are not just notification-style but fully detailed reports.
  • As usual, my blog has more detailed status about my activities, and Mozilla Status Board Posts also tell about my next planned steps – both including my non-SeaMonkey Mozilla work as well.

  • bug 673902 Port [bug 669196 Session Restore losing nearly all tabs] to SeaMonkey.
