  • Complaints about new Firefox UI (ditto)

Beta:

  • Maybe slower/freezier/not-respondier(?)
  • Maybe something related to youtube/flash
  • Facebook chat issues (although this seems on and off). Also “can’t open facebook”.

Also:

SUMO Day is going to happen week today to cover 9.0 release.

Mobile

UX & User Research

Market Insights

Web Technology

Amazon

  • The Kindle Fire, while selling well, has underwhelmed reviewers of both its hardware and software. The new Silk proxy browser that was bundled with the device also did not offer any speed improvements over regular “unaccelerated” browsing; even Amazon’s own website loads more slowly in “accelerated” mode. Amazon is promising a software update within the next two weeks to address some of these issues. In a common criticism of Android-based tablets, critics also point out that because there are no profiles or parental controls, anyone with access to the device has full access to all content and one-click ordering to everything Amazon sells. Despite this, Amazon is still expected to ship ~4m units by the end of the year and is continuing to grow the Silk team, recently advertising for engineers to work on SPDY.

Google

  • In a blog post celebrating the 10 billionth application download from the Android market, Google noted that there are “100 million words translated every week in 200 different countries” with the service.
  • Google made a much more public announcement regarding their Pepper API/Native Client strategy by staging a promotional event last week. “Bastion” an award-winning role-playing game from Supergiant Games, has been ported to the interface and works well in Chrome. In the presentation a developer noted that the port to NaCL took one developer about two weeks to accomplish. The Unity and Moai gaming engines have also been ported, but more significantly so has Mono, an open-source version of Microsoft’s .NET platform. These changes have also been integrated into Google Chrome’s web store, which allows easy monetization for applications.
  • Google’s push to turn Chrome into a fully cloud-based OS also took a step forward when user profiles, initially unencrypted or password-protected, were released in the stable channel, along with the Firefox Sync equivalent: “Sign in to Chrome”.
  • Farther upstream in Chromium, code to support an HTML5 terminal emulator landed.
  • Sencha conducted an in-depth review of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as a platform for HTML5 development and said that it is “a major step forward, but still falls short of iOS5”, noting that the Android Browser still does not support technologies like History Management, Web Sockets, and Web Workers. They did give it, however, high marks for fully supporting inline HTML5 video and audio.

WebKit

  • WebKit now supports animations between background, border and list images. On Safari, the *video* tag can now prevent the hardware from going into sleep mode on OS/X, and work on GPU-accelerated SVG filters has begun.

Tizen

  • The Intel, Samsung, Linux Foundation and LiMo Foundation-sponsored replacement for Meego, Tizen, had its first Developer Summit in Beijing last weekend. It appeared to be sparsely attended and much of the discussion in the press revolved around the still-unclear implications of HP’s announcement last week that it would be open-sourcing WebOS.

Mobile

Summary below, full update here and in your inbox.

  • The Android Market reached 10 billion application downloads
  • EU regulators suspended review of the Motorola acquisition by Google to wait for more information on its potential of harming competition between Android OEMs
  • HP will keep maintaining WebOS and transfer it to an open source license
  • Sony Ericsson becomes Sony middle of 2012
  • Amazon partnered with a mobile payment services provider
  • Carrier IQ published clarifications of the behaviour of the app
  • The first Nokia WP7 device in the US will be the Nokia Lumia 710

SeaMonkey/StatusMeetings/2011-12-13

« last meeting | index | next meeting »

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> ewong
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
    • Callek nominates ewong. Ewong has been helping create the configuration files for our betas for SeaMonkey 2.6 and has agreed to be “trained” to do the release in full… So thanks ewong.
    • ewong and IanN nominates InvisibleSmiley for his contributions to the Add-ons Compatibility Listings.
    • ewong and IanN nominates Mnyromyr for his triaging efforts.
    • Please note A person or entity can’t be nominated twice in a row.

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

  • IanN to write the “Friends of the Fish Tank” F.A.Q.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • “Where do we stand with the machine(s) right now?”
    • bug 702490 (Rack 2 – 1U mac mini chassis(4 Mini’s) in SCL2 for SeaMonkey).
      • These won’t be racked until emux can get power situated at SCL2.
  • The SeaMonkey tree is missing the some build boxes.
    • We still need to bring up the linux 32 boxes we had, but its progressing. (had to fight fires with the newly brought up win boxes, but all should be good now)
  • The tree status is currently OPEN and un-METERED.

Release Train

  • Get comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
    • Jake Maul [:jakem] from Server Ops has taken over the bug from Callek.
  • 2.6b3 shipped 9th December.
  • The next six-weekly merge will be on 20th December.
    • Firefox has decided against putting the release of that day on automatic update until after Christmas. Callek is thinking of doing the same for SeaMonkey. (Firefox Mobile will go full-speed as they cannot do otherwise, but with the small population there, the risk is lower).
    • InvisibleSmiley will be AFK for one week starting Christmas. Any website updates during that time will either have to wait or go through Callek/KaiRo.
  • en-GB patches needs review. Check to see if a blanket approval to land. (IanN)
  • 2.6b4 will be out Wednesday (14th December 2011). (Callek)

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley, with help from some community members like DERoss.
    • The ACR has been updated.
    • Recent changes can be found here.
    • The External Sources part is no longer TODO since InvisibleSmiley bit the bullet and did it all himself.
  • Enigmail provides versions for release (AMO) and all branches (Enigmail nightly page). The current release is compatible with both 2.5 and 2.6.
  • Lightning provides versions for the current stable and beta releases (AMO) and all branches (Calendar Versions page).
  • The latest Firebug is now fully compatible but still not flagged as such on AMO (which seems to depend on automatic tests being set up and run on the Firebug side, see Issue 4430). Use Firebug 1.9 pre-releases for 2.4 and later (maybe even earlier SM versions).
  • Besides the above, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.x.
  • bug 709630 discussion:
    • Something to be done by InvisibleSmiley to close bug.
  • KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development. Please add major features to the respective pages, ideally as they land.

We should also add some information on this to the release notes of future betas.

  • If an extension supports 2.8a1, list it under 2.7 which will be a full release when it comes out – bug 709630 filed.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.5 had ~73,000 ADU by last Thursday and 2.5 has had ~108,800 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Thursday, we have 21.2% on 2.0, 1.1% on 2.1, 3.3% on 2.2, 3.7% on 2.3, 12.9% on 2.4 and 57.8% on 2.5. So, in the last four weeks, ~3k (an additional 3% of ADU) have migrated to 2.4 or above.
  • Figure out what is preventing people from moving from 2.0.x to the latest versions.
    • Perhaps putting resources into getting certain extensions working with SM 2.4 and above.
    • Still need volunteers to look at what is keeping people at below 2.4. IanN could try knocking something up and send it round members lists for polishing but he’s not on all the channels (mozillazine, etc) to post it to when finished.
  • The take up of 2.5 seems slower than for previous releases, again perhaps this is due to the long Thanksgiving weekend in the US.
  • Please make sure that anything that landed on comm-beta (for TB) or mozilla-beta (for FF) which affected non-shared code and which fixed regressions will be fixed on our side, too. Please mark bugs we feel *need* to land on a particular train tracking+ or tracking? so that when we to do a release we can be sure that we don’t miss anything.
    • Priority should be given to fixing regressions ASAP. Also keep an eye on and prioritize bugs to be ported from FF/TB that land on branches (Aurora, Beta). We need to keep an eye especially on Session Restore, Sync, Tabbrowser and Address Book.
    • Be careful not to break code shared with Thunderbird, otherwise patches might have to be backed out of string frozen repositories.

2.5

open tracking (1)
tracking requests (0)
targeted (0)
fixed (31)

  • One tracked issue still open. If not resolved or no response by then, Callek plans to morph this into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales).
  • The New 2.5 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.

2.Next

  • Remember to help update the New Features pages as we go along.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 24 new, 15 fixed, 104 triaged.

  • Great triaging effort! 🙂
  • Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags:
31 review
13 super-review
0 ui-review
6 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

Active

  • 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 2.6 but could be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
    • IanN will need to poke some people about reviews not happening quickly enough.
    • IanN is still wading through the unpicking of Composer/Mail Compose code in the dependent bugs. After that he will be reworking his customising patches.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Comm-central) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze has done a bit of work in this bug recently. Building on Windows works. Now supports debug builds on Linux if tests are disabled (–disable-tests). Still a lot to do.
    • IanN was supposed to help get builds working with --enable-tests.
      • Will look into this once he gets his customization patches reworked.
  • Real full-screen (bug 610509) and DOM full-screen (bug 701714)
    • patches provided by Mnyromyr and InvisibleSmiley.
  • Port HTML5 “context menu” feature (contextmenu attribute) UI (bug 702019)
    • fixed and available starting with 2.6!
  • bug 702792 – Add-ons not updated in a long time should not be Compatible-by-default. (InvisibleSmiley)

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

  • Kill-RDF:
    • bug 657607 Port jminta’s kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
    • bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object. [serge]
  • 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 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
    • Note: The actual task here is to port bug 45715 “Reply to List” [button/(context) menu item]
  • bug 664309 Make the built-in ChatZilla display a cZ icon in SeaMonkey (now helpwanted)

Any other business?

  • Need to review project areas
    • IanN has put out a final draft of the project areas list, and will then confirm that anyone who is not in the loop already has been consulted.
      • There are two items that need answering still in the areas. IanN will remind people about what still needs answering.
    • in the end, we also need to update the Mozilla-wide list of official reviewers
  • Extended Support Releases (ESR)
    • At the moment looks like that will be based off Gecko 10 so that will be 2.7 for us. Assuming we have the machines, we will also have an ESR which might help move some of those still on 2.0 up to 2.7.
    • Our ESR should use the same branch as Firefox ESR so any Security and Stability “extended” fixes for Gecko will be picked up by the SeaMonkey ESR.
    • An ESR (Extended Security Release) may not be a given for us out of the gate. Callek thinks we should revisit that, separately, once it is clearer what MoCo’s general plans for their marketing/target/support levels etc. are.
    • mcsmurf is on the ESR mailing list and has volunteered to be our ESR goto guy.
  • Geolocation
    • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.
    • For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we’re not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
  • Christmas
    • The meeting scheduled for 27th December has been cancelled. The next one will be 10th January 2012. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone! 🙂

OOM Linker Issue on Windows

Summary of where we are:

  • Hit Bug 709193 over the weekend.
  • After investigating, determined that we were running out of address space in the linker.

Where we’re going:

  • Remove enough code from libxul to tide us over (might be here already, might not).
  • Stand up 32 bit compilers on 64 bit operating systems to get another GB of address space.
