Need To Know

(Release and system issues that may impact engineering this week.)

Notices/Schedule (lmandel)

Next Merge: February 23, 2015 Next Release: February 24, 2015
Trains
Central: 38 Aurora: 37 Beta: 36 Release: 35
  • Today is release day! Congratulations on releasing Firefox 35 and Firefox ESR 31.4!
  • 36 Beta1 ships Thursday
    • MSE is enabled in beta1. Please test YouTube playback on Windows and file bugs.
  • 37 Aurora updates are scheduled to be re-enabled on Friday
  • 38 Nightly will be the next ESR. Get your refactorings or other major changes in while 38 is on m-c.

A note on branching:

  • FXOS v2.2 update : Please note that has diverged from mainline gecko and is on its own b2g37 branch. mozilla-aurora (gecko 37) will continuously be merged to mozilla-b2g37_v2_2 . So, if you have a gecko bug that you are fixing on aurora and impacts b2g as well, you do not have to worry about requesting approval twice as the sheriff’s will auto-merge it for you.

Schedule & Progress onUpcoming Releases (Lukas/Sylvestre/Lawrence)


    

  •  Desktop 35.0 RC build 2 is now with QA after having to rebuild for bug 1076975, a late-arrival

    • 

  •  Mobile 35.0 build delayed for bug 1073554 – we’re looking at the options here including shipping with the regression and doing a 35.0.1 once a verified fix is ready

    • 

  •  ESR 31.4.0 on track

    • 

  •  We’ll be moving the updates enabling by 4 days this cycle which means that we release next Tuesday, collect feedback for a few days and then enable updates at 100% on the Friday same week.  First time experiment with this more rapid process.

    • 

  •  Merge Day is on Monday Jan 12th.

    • 



Firefox Desktop & Platform (Javaun/Chad/Martin)


There wasn’t an official 37.3 iteration, due to holidays, but we start 38.1 next Tuesday. The areas of focus are:

Hello:



    

  •  wrapping up Firefox 36/37 work, getting started on 38 (with a focus on sharing)

    • 



Task Continuity:



    

  •  finishing UX design work for Reading List/Synced Tabs

    • 

  •  research work support those features

    • 

  •  investigating sync back-end changes needed to support them

    • 



Search:



    

  •  continue to address important regressions from the Firefox 34 work

    • 

  •   UX design/research for next steps in search UI improvements

    • 



Password Management:



    

  •  focus on telemetry to begin improving filling/saving reliability

    • 



Sync Migration:



    

  •  finishing the migration work needed to start migrating “old sync” users to “new sync” in Firefox 37

    • 



Places:



    

  •  continue the refactorings needed to avoid main-thread IO

    • 



E10S:



    

  •  continue supporting the e10s team in pushing through the e10s milestones

    • 



Polaris Privacy Work:



    

  •  Tor relays: doing tech spec’ing this week. NetOps/Opsec are designing this week, may start hardware work next week.

    • 

  •  User testing on Tracking Protection (Polaris pref in Nightly) starts next week. Questions to answer:

      

    •  what do users think about tracking? Does our experience meet their needs?

      • 

    •  Do we break their experience, and if so do they accept the tradeoff or blame the browser.

      • 

    

    • 



Developer Tools (Jeff)



Feedback Summary  (Cheng/Tyler/Matt)


Desktop


    

  •  No significant change in Hello feedback for 35: Still very, very low amounts of feedback. Most negative (non-prompted) feedback people who don’t want it. One comment on the branding (Telefonica/O2).

    • 

  •  Only spike in negative feedback around the break was around the donation campaign which was viewed as spammy (especially since people got it even after they donated).

    • 



Marketing, Press & Public Reaction (Arcadio or Winston)


    

  •  Dev browser campaign / message testing

    • 

  •  Search hijackers

    • 

  •  Yahoo optimization

    • 

  •  Hello

    •

    •

    •

      • 

    •  Mark any bug reports as blockers of bug 1116806

      • 

    

    • 



b) Many Telemetry measurements are biased by users who submit many short sessions (vs users with fewer, longer sessions). You can remove this bias by doing your analysis “per user” using the new clientID field:




2. What will your team do this week that might impact others?



    

  •  bug 1021842: A-Team and Perf team are working on making the Talos regression detection formula more accurate
