Firefox/Gecko Delivery Planning: 2012-09-26

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 11:00 pm

Actions from Last Week

  • Matt/Cheng to collate PDF.js feedback: [1]
  • Gavin to update on the state of 3rd party add on drops
  • John J to establish Mozilla Preferred spelling of crapton[ne]
    • In order to properly assess this issue, it is important to understand the relevant etymology:
      • “Crapton[ne]” is, obviously, a portmanteau of two words. “Crap” has its origins from the mid-15th century, when crappe was “grain that was trodden underfoot in a barn, chaff”. “Ton”, or in French “tonne”, has its origins in “tun”, a large cask, coming from the old Germanic and Celtic languages of Northern Europe, potentially as far back as the 9th century.
      • It appears that while “ton” has a much older history, “tonne”, now often used to refer to a metric ton of 1000kg, is in better keeping with Mozilla’s spirit of internationalization and standardization. It is therefore suggested that, for Mozillians, the correct spelling is “craptonne”.
  • John J to run next week’s meeting

User Experience (design & research)

  • [desktop]
    • Simple web notifications bug 782211 – opt-in doorhanger and fallback notifications (i.e. when no OS system like on Android or MacOS Notification Center): http://shorlander.dropmark.com/80842 (Shorlander)
    • [Australis] Customization – Final design summary spec being assembled (Zhenshuo, Blake)
    • [dev tools] (Brian Dils)
    • [Social API] (Boriss)
    • [hometab/newtab] (Boriss)
      • Integrating feedback from several sources (see ideas from Shorlander, Ian) into one design described in one document. Updates on wiki
      • Direction of adjusting to devices & user interaction while being consistent enough for muscle memory formation very much the shared goal (eg, slide right for more categories)
      • Kickoff with everyone who’s worked on some aspect of this, mobile and desktop, as well as research late last week
  • [sync/identity]
    • draft proposal covering all the cases (new user; existing Sync user; existing Persona ID user) for Firefox sign-in / sync setup on desktop and mobile Draft document (pdf) (zhenshuo + ibarlow)
    • User-reserach completed their project understanding how people think about their identities both online and in the real world. Final report in preparation. (Mary, Lindsay)
  • [project SPF (security/privacy)] (larissa)
    • Real v1 draft of Designing Usable Security in Firefox report — please read!
      • finishing this work and brainstorming phase 2 of Project SPF
    • looking into bringing our Mixed Content designs to Android Firefox
  • [webRTC] (Boriss)
    • Sketching ideas for the need for cohesive, consistent notifications across devices, main question what kind of priority Firefox gives presence (communication) versus flow (present task focus)
  • [Behavioral Segmentation Study] (Lindsay, Bill, Leo)
    • Detailed planning started. The goal is to define and elaborate distinct user groups for Firefox based on a diary study, contextual inquiry and quantitative surveys and analysis. Once established, user groups will be publicly available and employed to make decisions about features and user experience design decisions when resources for a user research study are not available or are unnecessary.
    • As part of this planning, Leo is starting a quantitative study to identify Firefox user behaviors. Specifically, the project will
      • Establish a typology of Firefox Users based on Test Pilot data including survey (attitudes) and behaviors
      • Identify bias in Test Pilot users as compared to general population, i.e. Metrics report
      • Provide quantitative insight to inform qualitative behavioral segmentation study; would help to identify which groups to recruit from and what questions to ask
  • [other/future]
    • working on a draft of a system of UX metrics and success criteria (Madhava, Cori)
    • in the related-to-Firefox-design dept: Design principles behind FirefoxOS blog post here (Patryk)

Market Insights

Desktop / Platform

  • A group of web developers, led by Google, released RoboHornet, a new “benchmark designed around performance pain points real web developers care about”. Microsoft and Mozilla have largely described the suite as a collection of micro-tests inappropriate for overall benchmarking.

    • ex: 1 2 ; see : starting from 87 down in the nightly report
    • Need to figure out how to make this actionable; maybe get a stack trace through minidump?
  • bug 752828 looking at the patch from bug 741224, it might be helpful to get the API levels for the crashers?
    • Need STR from QA.

Monitoring:

  • bug 745512 #6 on release, not shown in beta and above.
  • bug 750217 to be monitored for next beta release.

B2G

  • Sending crash reports from devices should work in theory, but doesn’t in practice, need to investigate. Noted in bug 773892 for now.
  • Had a meeting on the crash reporting story in terms of UI and privacy on Friday, work now happening on what the UI should look like, implementation work needed. https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/4149

  • Metro stuff

Scott (jwir3)

Last Week:

  • Developed a demo video for reflow-on-zoom. It’s available at: refloz.ogv (Also, there’s an apk build at the same location: refloz.apk – It also has the maxRatio preference available, too. If you choose to try it out, keep in mind it’s still pretty rough.)
  • Worked on bug 784375: Add ability to specify a maximum font inflation ratio. It’s in review, but I’m trying to get it to reflow when prefs change.
  • Isolated behavior for -webkit-text-size-adjust: percentage%. It appears to simply increase the specified font size. Still performing a few more tests before adding it to the spec-in-progress for this feature.

This Week:

  • Still working to fix quirks in reflow-on-zoom prototype.
  • Assisting mbrubeck in debugging issues with bug 716575 where patch 3 of the series is crashing talos (on apparently an NS_SUCCEEDED(xxx) operation?!?!) We’re not entirely sure how to reproduce- it seems to only happen in Talos tests (mochitests and reftests pass just fine…) I’m going to try and see if I can get talos running on my phone to see if I can shed some light on this problem. We don’t have any information from logs, because when it crashes on talos, we don’t even get a browser_output.txt file. 😐
  • bug 790645: Font inflation enlarges text when reloading content in form inputs after zooming

BLassey

Last week

  • in Warsaw for performance work week
  • bug 727352 – get rid of JSON usage in viewport updates
  • bug 785291 – add support for in-product fonts, reading from extracted res/fonts

Again, everything this week has been fairly quiet in SUMO land on the Mobile Side. 15.0.1 is performing well, reviews are trending up.

Beta
We have started to gather Feedback from Input for Firefox Mobile Beta, already using it to look at trends. Read the Mobile Meeting notes for more.

The largest Issue for Firefox Beta is a crash on Nexus 7 which is by far the largest crash issue on Input. Bug 792473 is tracking this.

ARMv6 information on Input is limited, but we have the following devices and issues on Input:

  • LGL45C: Crashes
  • LG-VM701: Slow to Load
  • LGL55C: Video Playback is slow

Just as a note, Input does not have much positive feedback for Mobile Beta, that is now going to Google Play.

      • bug 783258 VLAN assignment for seamonkey HP’s. SeaMonkey machines are on the community VLAN. [fixed]
  • Build on MSVC2010 (ewong and Callek).
    • Trunk builds and all branches except release are now MSVC2010.
  • Build SeaMonkey using clang bug 775539. In progress (stalled on the possibility that we’ll need to upgrade our OSX boxes to XCode 4.1… waiting for confirmation.)
    • bug 776426 Set up ccache on all MacOSX systems. CCCACHE is installed on the MacOSX systems. Buildbot config changes to enable ccache usage have been checked in.
    • bug 791442 Mac trunk build with clang and XCode 4.1 failing. Callek is investigating, getting closer.
  • L10n Update: (2012-08-07):
    • L10n buildbots are building again on all three platforms for be, de, en-GB, es-AR, gl, hu, it, lt, nl, ru, sk, uk, zh-CN and zh-TW.
    • There were no issues with beta 1 [Confirmed].

Release Train

  • 2.13b2 shipped September 7
  • 2.12.1 shipped September 10
  • 2.13b3 shipped September 14

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • We’ve had reports of some extensions shipped by default (among them CZ) not being compatible with SM 2.12. InvisibleSmiley guesses we missed to version bump them so people with compatible-by-default pref’ed off run into issues now.
    • Potentially added to Release Train notes to bump the versions on the extensions we ship as standard?
  • Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
    • sgautherie thinks that the current DOMi branches/tags are not suitable for automatic SeaMonkey branch selection.
    • Need some traction on this. IanN spoke to Serge at MozCampEU. Serge is waiting for Callek/ewong to agree what needs to happen and to say what is workable or not.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.12 had ~70,900 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.12.1 ~33,000 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 11.3% on 2.0, 3.4% on 2.1-2.3, 4.3% on 2.4-2.6, 1.9% on 2.7, 2.2% on 2.8, 3.7% on 2.9, 3.4% on 2.10, 16.0% on 2.11 and 53.8% on 2.12. So, in the last four weeks, ~0.6k (an additional 0.5% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
    • ADUs continue increasing after the summer dip (up from ~126k and now at ~132k). Still not back up to June levels yet (~144k).
    • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
    • We now have a webpage for latest builds available for “Legacy Platforms” like PPC (bug 759315) but hikerbiker suggests making the Legacy/PPC link more discoverable (Mozillazine post). IanN agrees that the current link is not easily found. InvisibleSmiley said that he didn’t want it to be too obvious or highlighted. IanN thinks splitting and renaming Old to Previous isn’t a bad idea and moving Unofficial Releases after it. Perhaps merging Contributed builds into it.
      • This is now bug 788543 SeaMonkey – PPC Legacy links are not easy to find.
      • IanN to check with InvisibleSmiley what he wants to do about this.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.12

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (7)
targeted (3)
fixed (11)

  • One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
    • 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
    • The plan was that Callek needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
    • The ka owner came back with a bundle of l10n changes to get checked in. Callek to look into doing that, and try to identify if ka will be sustained going forward before completely abandoning. [Needs update from Callek]

Good First Bugs

  • Note: The GFB list is open to all including our regular contributors.
  • Ratty is working on an updated GFB list, suggestions welcome.
  • Currently there are 27 GFBs open, 3 are being actively worked on.
  • List of Open mentored bugs.
    • Ratty notes that there are (55-27=) 28 bugs that are GFBs but without the mentor keyword. These need to be audited to see if they are really suitable as GFBs.
  • In the last two weeks since the previous meeting:
  • Neil suggests we could get some Services conversions going as GFBs.
    • bug 735333 (Use Services.prefs instead of preferences-service / gPrefService, in SeaMonkey code). Work on this has stalled. New assignee needed.
  • Mentors of the two stalled bugs should try to communicate with the assignees and if they can’t work on them any more to unassign/free up those bugs.

    bug 789865 Port front-end parts from bug 440794 (Initial sendInBackground support) to SeaMonkey.

    Waiting on IanN’s review expected today 🙂
  • QA: business as usual.
  • Fall Equinox Bug Event: reminder sent yesterday to mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey newsgroup and Members mailing list.

Any other business?

  • Bug Day:
    • Useful link: [1].
    • Tonymec confirmes that this is scheduled for the weekend before the fall equinox (Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd September). An announcement has been made (shortly after the next to last meeting).
    • A repeat announcement was sent yesterday to mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey & the Members List.
  • 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.
    • No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
  • Test failures
    • qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.
    • Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
    • tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
    • IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
    • Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
      • Ratty is ***still*** waiting for Serge.
  • MozCampEU2012
    • IanN and sgautherie were going.
    • Impressions?
    • There was some interesting stuff on RelEng, Debugging, QA, JS Optimisation, amongst others. KaiRo working on code stability. See the MozCamp Schedule for further details.

Feature Work

Instant Messaging
  • A patch has landed that aggregates logs in the log viewer into days as opposed to individual chat sessions. Should land for TB 17 soon.
  • We will have better error messages for XMPP and IRC connections failing because of an invalid (eg. self-signed) SSL certificate. This was causing lots of support requests.

  • Contacts can now be saved to the database.
  • Working on displaying contacts next, followed by searching.
  • Reminder: Milestone 1 is to import 500 fake contacts from the old TB address book into the new address book, and display them.

Roundtable Highlights

There is plenty on discussion happening on tb-planning, https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/tb-planning
Every time there is a relevant support discussion, that should be cross-posted on tb-planning. Same for QA and testing.

  • How do we make the discussions on tb-planning into concrete actions and documentation on consensus?
  • If we need a mechanism, we can put that in place, but it’s good if we don’t have to do that.
  • If we are not able to get some consensus decisions, tb-staff can step up, but hopefully hopefully the community will be able to do that.
  • Rkent is concerned about the governance model
  • JB is open to suggestions on other models.
  • Rkent suggests a council similar to the Seamonkey council.
  • Ludo suggests rkent as a benevilant dictator
  • Rkent is concerned about monetisation of Thunderbird in the long run in order to allow people to make a living out of it.
  • JB is not convinced that we need a board/council for Thunderbird. At least for the first releases he thinks the current model will work.
  • Mozilla will not allow selling the product, but are happy to see people making money about addons and similar initiatives. Anne-marie is looking into monitisation opportunities that work together with the governance model and Mozilla’s goals.
  • Rkent asks how can we maintain the backend in case people are mainly working on addons? * The product needs the maintainership and development.
  • Conclusion is that we need to wait and see how the current model will work for at least a release or two.
