SeaMonkey: 2015-03-31

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

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> IanN
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • RainerBielefeldNG

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

  • Official SeaMonkey Blog: Some progress with the SSL certificate issue. With the certificate, things would work easier as mcsmurf wants to sync the blog with Facebook entries. Meta bug 1147825 covers the blog work.
  • bug 1057920 SeaMonkey’s CVS dependency really should be removed. (currently used only for Releng Automation, and SeaMonkey Website).
    • This has been spun off into a separate bugs for the website and the rest. Ewong is poking at things related to Release Automation.
    • For the website it looks like we’ll be going mercurial rather than svn (as that is the way the mozilla people would prefer it too).

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Windows nightly trunk builds arewere running again briefly (thanks to Callek and Ewong) but are down again due to bug 1108970. Migrating our Windows builders to VS2013 would likely solve this and other bustages.
  • VS2010 support was removed from mozilla-central on 15th December (bug 1092468). Our Windows slaves are in the process of being upgraded to Win2008 and VS2013 (bug 1114876). There are also some upcoming changes to L10n build system in Q1 2015 (bug 1107635).
  • Buildmaster is up and running, and produces en-US builds, see 9/16 meeting’s Friends of the Fish Tank. Builds and langpacks in 18 languages including en-US are available unofficially thanks to A.Kalla. Edit: However, only 9 languages are published daily for trunk there, and en-GB is not one of them. For Aurora I didn’t check. — Tonymec (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2015 (PST)
  • bug 1083689 Langpacks aren’t updated when auto-updating SeaMonkey. The langpacks need strict versioning e.g. min 2.30 max 2.30.* which makes sense since you don’t want 2.29 strings with 2.30. This is possibly a build config problem so we should check with Callek, ewong, or KaiRo. KaiRo has a patch on hand.
    • The de and en-GB langpacks for 2.30 have:
      <em:minVersion>2.30</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>2.*</em:maxVersion>
      2.22 had:
      <em:minVersion>2.22</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>2.22.*</em:maxVersion>
    • [IanN and RSX11M] There was a change in one of the scripts that generates the language pack files (the underlying issue was truncated version numbers introduced by Firefox) so it needs to be adjusted to take SeaMonkey into account.
  • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in TBPL atm.
  • Linux* are down due to bug 1147835 which now depends on bug 1148229, so all trees are closed.
  • [31st March 2015]
    • Windows nightly, aurora and beta builds are broken. Will be fixed by upgrading to Windows Server 2K8 and Visual Studio 2013 (bug 1114876).
    • Linux* slaves are not ‘connected’ with the master due to 1147835.
    • All Trees
      • OSX64:
        • Build – Orange : bug 958812 – References of firefox.dmg hard-coded in Mozharness tests.
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.
  • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.33.1 was released on 23 March.
    • Norton reports installer/updater as “SONAR” virus again [1].
    • Not available from the SUSE nor Fedora repositories yet.
  • No scheduled ETA for 2.34 beta 1 yet – depends on fixing bugs (bug 1147835 + bug 1148229 + bug 1114876)
    • Need to look at possibility of a further 2.33.x release if no 2.34
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling
    • merge day was 30 March (moved from April 6)

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/
    This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf – it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there’s only so much an automated tool like that can do.
  • Lightning 3.8b1 builds are available for SeaMonkey 2.33.
    • reported broken bug 1133663, 3.8b2 released but may not entirely fix the issue [2].
    • Lightning 3.9b1 is available for testing once SM 2.34b1 is out.
  • The Thunderbird team is planning to ship Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN thinks we will want to ship lightning too. We should coordinate with Thunderbird. Related bugs:
    • bug 1130854 Package Lightning with Thunderbird for c-c and c-a builds.
    • bug 1113183 Integrate Lightning Into Thunderbird by Default.
    • bug 1130852 Add opt-in dialog to promote Calendar integration [Thunderbird].
  • Proposed replacement for Venkman for shipping with SeaMonkey: Tiny JavaScript Debugger. TinyJSD is a JavaScript debugger for privileged code running Mozilla products like Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey. It serves to debug the application as well as extensions written in JavaScript.
    • IanN filed bug 1133723 Investigate options for replacing Venkman with the TinyJSDebugger.
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506

2.Next

  • Stalled. Needs a kick.
    • bug 815954 Click-to-Play: Port bug 812562 (click-to-play blocklisted plugins: reshow urlbar notification as with normal click-to-play).
    • bug 476108 GetShortPathNameW fails under some NTFS junctions [patchlove].
  • Current breakages:
    • bug 995737 adapt seamonkey for the address book remote content policy change; use permission manager instead of address book property.
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Firefox is currently changing styles of several Toolkit pages
      • already affected: config.xul for about:config, bug 1125636
      • Toolkit meta bug for about:* pages: bug 1097111 – SeaMonkey tracking in bug 1133743
      • Modern may need updating as IDs are changing, Default needs forking if we want to roll back to previous styles
      • Fallout thus far: bug 1133380 about:privatebrowsing (Default), bug 1133582 about:config (Modern)
    • Our front end Sync UI needs to be updated as the old backend is going away in Gecko/Firefox 31. See: New Firefox Sync has landed in Firefox Nightly. Tracked in:
      • bug 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager.
      • bug 1003434 Add support for about:sync-progress.
      • Update SeaMonkey won’t be allowed to use the Firefox Sync 1.5 servers. Ewong is looking into hosting our own FxAccount server on a community machine or VPS.
    • A lot of these bugs are due to mozilla-central switching from synchronous APIs to Asynchronous APIs.
    • bug 566746 (asyncFormHistory) Form history should use asynchronous storage API. Tracked in:
      • bug 912031 Use Asynchronous FormHistory.jsm in place of nsIFormHistory2 in Suite.
    • bug 769764 move proxy resolution to separate thread and remove sync api. Tracked in:
      • MailNews bug 791645 Rewrite calls to synchronous nsIProtocolProxyService::DeprecatedBlockingResolve with Async code before DeprecatedBlockingResolve disappears as well.
    • The C++ downloads manager backend nsIDownloadManager is being decommissioned. Firefox has migrated to jsdownloads. Thunderbird is in the process of migrating. We need to decide how we are going to handle this sooner rather than later.
    • bug 825588 Asynchronous JavaScript API for downloads and bug 851471 Decommission nsIDownloadManager. Tracked in:
      • bug 888915 Move SeaMonkey to the new JavaScript API for downloads when nsIDownloadManager is decommissioned.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 37 new, 19 fixed, 20 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort, average number of new bugs filed.
  • IanN thinks it would be useful to remind people on the newsgroups / forums that they can contribute by triaging. Tonymec will post a reminder to newsgroups / forums. See bug 1092632 (Sm_tri_HowTo) Document how to triage SeaMonkey bugs.
    • The draft is currently at https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Tonymec/Triage_HowTo
    • Progress is stalled due to hardware/firmware problems with Tonymec’s current computer. Current ETA for newer computer is after Easter but this is a rough estimate. Anyone with a wikimoz account can edit the page (and is welcome to). — Tonymec (talk) 17:35, 21 January 2015 (PST)

Open reviews/flags:
42 review
5 super-review
4 ui-review
7 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO:
    • We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. MoCo will not allow us to use FxAccounts (the new Sync API). We might want to update our code anyway just in case. One possibility is to set up our own Sync 1.5 server on a Community machine.
    • Bug 1127784 proposes to add a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions.

Some highlights:

  • Reader View content is now served via built-in web server
  • (Internal) Reader View URLs are hidden
  • Share To Extension works again (for both Bookmarks and Reading List) !
  • Reader View content is cached for offline usage (but no images yet)
  • Pushed out a new Aurora Build

Upcoming:

  • Integrating better Reading List storage (so that mark as read / delete will start working)
  • Share Extension UX update
  • Random boog fixes (trying to fix at least one or two small bugs in the morning to shrink the queue)

Struggling with Optionals, Properites, Protocols and Closures in pursuit of the least disgusting way I could think off do saving of open tabs. (restoring is later).

Blocked on UX for QR code reading (this isn’t a cry for help!).

Somewhat excited by the React-Native due out at the F8 Conference this week.

Past highlights: landed more reader mode ux. (button bar, reading list). also introduced new bugs. localization going strong! (12 locales now + we got the process mostly covered). moved all build systems to Xcode 6.2. Disables Travis. And we just pushed out a new Aurora build.

Immediate focus:

  • 1144146 Correctly hide/show the url bar when the reader mode settings are visible
  • 1144165 Reader Mode controls should hide when navigating or switching tabs
  • 1144291 Navigating to a reader mode page from the history stack results in blank page
  • 1144404 Reader Mode URLS (about:reader) should not be part of history
  • 1144511 Serve reader mode content via the built-in web server

Then:

  • Move Reading List APIClient/Storage forward so that we can hookup buttons like Delete and Mark as Read
  • Finalize Reader Mode UX

Filed some bugs.

  • bug 1141715 ‘Photo’ and ‘Video’ labels appears above photo on iPad in Reader View

QA

Feature Focus

<Read Only>

  • Mobile Roadmap Trello Board
    • Funnel Review week, but nothing moved up into the active release branches
    • Updated as of yesterday. Anything to add/change?
  • iOS Roadmap in Aha!
  • New iOS Trello Board
    • iOS Trello board has been updated to reflect the scope that has been deferred to V1.1
    • Note- the ‘Parking Lot’ items are not Out. They have been called out as things that we want, but only if not at the expense of other items. In some cases we will launch with partial implementation with just most important functionality. These are items ‘At Risk’.
    • Final Build Date – need to discuss this in a bit more depth, but we will likely have to have a final build in hand for May 1st, to allow for testing, and for submission timelines for Apple (~1 week).
    • New Status Report w/ Charts going up shortly here

Round Table

  • Meeting improvement discussion
    • Etherpad: https://mobile.etherpad.mozilla.org/84
      • Consensus: People like chatting with others on the team, and knowing what everyone is working on
        • Other notes: Too long, hearing what people are working on lets others emphasize issues
    • Proposal: Everyone can summarize their work in bullets briefly; we can make an auto-generated wiki page of bug lists for those who are interested in that;
      • Suggestion of no more read-only
        • I like that there is more variety – imo, easier to maintain focus on; worried about length
      • Finkle would like more people to add to the topics of the week
        • I agree – “here is the stuff that is particularly relevant to everyone!”

SeaMonkey: 2015-03-17

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 12:00 am

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • TBD

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

  • Official SeaMonkey Blog: Some progress with the SSL certificate issue. With the certificate, things would work easier as mcsmurf wants to sync the blog with Facebook entries.
  • bug 1057920 SeaMonkey’s CVS dependency really should be removed. (currently used only for Releng Automation, and SeaMonkey Website).
    • This has been spun off into a separate bugs for the website and the rest. Ewong is poking at things related to Release Automation.
    • For the website it looks like we’ll be going mercurial rather than svn (as that is the way the mozilla people would prefer it too).

CLOSED

  • The good news is that we’re getting donations through via the new SeaMonkey specific donation page.
    • Need to advertise on the support newsgroup, SeaMonkey Blog, Facebook, etc.

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Windows nightly trunk builds arewere running again briefly (thanks to Callek and Ewong) but are down again due to bug 1108970. Migrating our Windows builders to VS2013 would likely solve this and other bustages.
  • VS2010 support was removed from mozilla-central on 15th December (bug 1092468). Our Windows slaves are in the process of being upgraded to Win2008 and VS2013 (bug 1114876). There are also some upcoming changes to L10n build system in Q1 2015 (bug 1107635).
  • Buildmaster is up and running, and produces en-US builds, see 9/16 meeting’s Friends of the Fish Tank. Builds and langpacks in 18 languages including en-US are available unofficially thanks to A.Kalla. Edit: However, only 9 languages are published daily for trunk there, and en-GB is not one of them. For Aurora I didn’t check. — Tonymec (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2015 (PST)
  • bug 1083689 Langpacks aren’t updated when auto-updating SeaMonkey. The langpacks need strict versioning e.g. min 2.30 max 2.30.* which makes sense since you don’t want 2.29 strings with 2.30. This is possibly a build config problem so we should check with Callek, ewong, or KaiRo. KaiRo has a patch on hand.
    • The de and en-GB langpacks for 2.30 have:
      <em:minVersion>2.30</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>2.*</em:maxVersion>
      2.22 had:
      <em:minVersion>2.22</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>2.22.*</em:maxVersion>
    • [IanN and RSX11M] There was a change in one of the scripts that generates the language pack files (the underlying issue was truncated version numbers introduced by Firefox) so it needs to be adjusted to take SeaMonkey into account.
  • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in TBPL atm.
  • [17th March 2015]
    • Windows nightly, aurora and beta builds are broken. Will be fixed by upgrading to Windows Server 2K8 and Visual Studio 2013 (bug 1114876).
    • All Trees
      • OSX64:
        • Build – Orange : bug 958812 – References of firefox.dmg hard-coded in Mozharness tests.
    • [comm-central]
      • Linux*: l10n nightly and l10n dep are running again (patch applied manually to buildbotcustom code)
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.
  • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.33 final was released on 10 March.
    • Norton reports installer/updater as “SONAR” virus [1].
    • Not available from the SUSE nor Fedora repositories yet.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling
    • next merge day is 6 April

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • AMO and addon-signing. All addons will have to be signed, uploaded to AMO then reviewed by AMO editors including extensions not hosted on AMO. Otherwise they’ll be disabled. TL;DR: SeaMonkey and Thunderbird will not implement mandatory extension signing. Discussion in mozilla.addons.user-experience
  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/
    This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf – it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there’s only so much an automated tool like that can do.
  • Lightning 3.8b1 builds are available for SeaMonkey 2.33.
    • reported broken bug 1133663, 3.8b2 released but may not entirely fix the issue [2].
    • Lightning 3.9b1 is available for testing once SM 2.34b1 is out.
  • The Thunderbird team is planning to ship Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN thinks we will want to ship lightning too. We should coordinate with Thunderbird. Related bugs:
    • bug 1130854 Package Lightning with Thunderbird for c-c and c-a builds.
    • bug 1113183 Integrate Lightning Into Thunderbird by Default.
    • bug 1130852 Add opt-in dialog to promote Calendar integration [Thunderbird].
  • Proposed replacement for Venkman for shipping with SeaMonkey: Tiny JavaScript Debugger. TinyJSD is a JavaScript debugger for privileged code running Mozilla products like Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey. It serves to debug the application as well as extensions written in JavaScript.
    • IanN filed bug 1133723 Investigate options for replacing Venkman with the TinyJSDebugger.
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506

2.Next

  • Stalled. Needs a kick.
    • bug 815954 Click-to-Play: Port bug 812562 (click-to-play blocklisted plugins: reshow urlbar notification as with normal click-to-play).
    • bug 476108 GetShortPathNameW fails under some NTFS junctions [patchlove].
  • Current breakages:
    • bug 995737 adapt seamonkey for the address book remote content policy change; use permission manager instead of address book property.
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Firefox is currently changing styles of several Toolkit pages
      • already affected: config.xul for about:config, bug 1125636
      • Toolkit meta bug for about:* pages: bug 1097111 – SeaMonkey tracking in bug 1133743
      • Modern may need updating as IDs are changing, Default needs forking if we want to roll back to previous styles
      • Fallout thus far: bug 1133380 about:privatebrowsing (Default), bug 1133582 about:config (Modern)
    • Our front end Sync UI needs to be updated as the old backend is going away in Gecko/Firefox 31. See: New Firefox Sync has landed in Firefox Nightly. Tracked in:
      • bug 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager.
      • bug 1003434 Add support for about:sync-progress.
      • Update SeaMonkey won’t be allowed to use the Firefox Sync 1.5 servers. Ewong is looking into hosting our own FxAccount server on a community machine or VPS.
    • A lot of these bugs are due to mozilla-central switching from synchronous APIs to Asynchronous APIs.
    • bug 566746 (asyncFormHistory) Form history should use asynchronous storage API. Tracked in:
      • bug 912031 Use Asynchronous FormHistory.jsm in place of nsIFormHistory2 in Suite.
    • bug 769764 move proxy resolution to separate thread and remove sync api. Tracked in:
      • MailNews bug 791645 Rewrite calls to synchronous nsIProtocolProxyService::DeprecatedBlockingResolve with Async code before DeprecatedBlockingResolve disappears as well.
    • The C++ downloads manager backend nsIDownloadManager is being decommissioned. Firefox has migrated to jsdownloads. Thunderbird is in the process of migrating. We need to decide how we are going to handle this sooner rather than later.
    • bug 825588 Asynchronous JavaScript API for downloads and bug 851471 Decommission nsIDownloadManager. Tracked in:
      • bug 888915 Move SeaMonkey to the new JavaScript API for downloads when nsIDownloadManager is decommissioned.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 41 new, 14 fixed, 14 triaged.

  • Low triaging effort, higher than average number of new bugs filed.
  • IanN thinks it would be useful to remind people on the newsgroups / forums that they can contribute by triaging. Tonymec will post a reminder to newsgroups / forums. See bug 1092632 (Sm_tri_HowTo) Document how to triage SeaMonkey bugs.
    • The draft is currently at https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Tonymec/Triage_HowTo
    • Progress is stalled due to hardware/firmware problems with Tonymec’s current computer. Current ETA for newer computer is after Easter but this is a rough estimate. Anyone with a wikimoz account can edit the page (and is welcome to). — Tonymec (talk) 17:35, 21 January 2015 (PST)

Open reviews/flags:
42 review
5 super-review
4 ui-review
7 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO:
    • We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. MoCo will not allow us to use FxAccounts (the new Sync API). We might want to update our code anyway just in case. One possibility is to set up our own Sync 1.5 server on a Community machine.
    • Bug 1127784 proposes to add a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions.

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Mozilla Platform: 2015-03-17

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 12:00 am

Need To Know

Notices/Schedule (lsblakk/sylvestre/lmandel)

Next Merge: March 30, 2015 Next Release: March 31, 2015
Trains
Central: 39 Aurora: 38 Beta: 37 Release: 36

Only two weeks and two beta builds until Firefox Beta 37 is released. The new “Tracking Firefox” dashboard shows tracked bugs for the Aurora and Beta releases.

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

RyanVM sends a major shout out to ttaubert for being on an orange fixing tear last week.

MemShrink (njn)

Mike Hommey enabled jemalloc3 (bug 762449) on Nightly. It’s configured to *not* ride the trains for now. There are a number of perf regressions and some crashes that Mike is diligently working through.

Team Stand-ups

Media (mreavy)

The media team is close to shipping Media Source Extensions (MSE bug 1083588) for YouTube. MSE improves HTML5 video performance as YouTube transitions its default video player from Flash to HTML5 video. The team plans to ship MSE on Windows in Firefox 37, OS X in Firefox 38, and then Linux. Be on the look out for any YouTube bugs, such as videos that won’t load or get stuck rebuffering.

Performance (vladan)

Telemetry and FHR measurements were unified into a single system on Nightly 39 (bug 1069869). The old FHR will still be around for a couple of releases. The unified Telemetry client-side is still being “stabilized”, so Telemetry from Nightly 39 isn’t reliable yet. Be very careful when interpreting Nightly 39 data!

The unified Telemetry pings are sent to a new Telemetry backend (DataPipeline) which will support streaming analyses. The Telemetry wiki is now up to date with information about Telemetry client-side & server-side workings: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Telemetry. We added a Telemetry “errata” page to help with analyzing Telemetry data: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Telemetry/Errata.

Many Telemetry histograms will automatically expire in Firefox 40. Check Histograms.json to see if the expiry version of your telemetry probes should updated.

Test results comparing e10s vs non-e10s Talos scores and an explanatory blog post are coming soon. Results in very raw form: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=D7fr2EtM

Aaron Klotz created a tool for visualizing Windows attached input queues, as detailed on his blog: http://dblohm7.ca/blog/2015/03/03/attached-input-queues-on-firefox-for-windows. Attached input queues can cause odd problems like bug 1105386 where a page won’t load or render if the mouse is not moving.

With bug 1128768, we can now gather information about the amount of jank caused by different types of Flash content. This will be used to quantify the benefit of targeting Shumway at different types of Flash content.

Per-compartment CPU accounting (bug 674779) should land in the next week or two. Use it to report add-ons that use too much CPU or CPOWs (e.g. bug 1136923).

Shumway (tschneidereit)

The team’s current focus is playing Flash ads in Shumway instead of Flash. Using Shumway will reduce the number of Flash plugin instantiations, which is correlated with Flash deadlocks, and reduce page jank. Flash ads have also exploited Flash security bugs to install malware. Shumway should protect against many of those exploits.

Shumway now plays IMDb trailer videos on Nightly (bug 1137433) and substantial progress is being made on a verifiable sandboxed. An implementation of AS3’s meta-object protocol that should be pretty faithful to Flash’s and a new Shumway interpreter should land soon. This enables proper handling of SecurityDomains, a crucial Flash security feature.
