Feature Focus

  • Android Status & Roadmap Trello Board
    • Question – with the front end RL stuff landed/uplifted, are we good to go for L10N for 38? Is there anything else outstanding from a UI/String perspective? rnewman/nalexander – anything for fxaccounts that would still change strings?
  • iOS Roadmap in Aha!
  • New iOS Trello Board
  • iOS Weekly Status Report Commentary welcome on this report and format of it, as it’s brand spanking new!
    • Triaged the remaining/not started scope yesterday. Awaiting response/feeback from Karen on the proposed list of features to drop from the May 12th must-have list.
    • Once we confirm the final scope, we need to figure out a realistic string freeze. I’d like to have this date figured out by next Wednesday (next campaign status meeting).
    • L10N Risk Note’ – on the dashboard now the existing strings are at 100% for DE, but we do NOT have committed resources to continue with DE translation on the final/outstanding strings. There is nobody confirmed for JA yet, and no translation completed. Not a ‘stop ship’ grade risk, but still notable.

Round Table

  • Meeting improvements [mcomella]
    • What is the purpose of this meeting & what do you get from it?
      • imo: Identifying the larger picture – what direction are fennec & iOS taking, and what steps are the individuals in this meeting taking to get there). Perhaps we can make a connection to quarterly goals?
      • imo: Usually a lot of details that get in the way of the larger picture
    • Proposal: (incremental improvement) Skip the bug lists and have a summary of what you’ve worked on and intend to work on
    • Thoughts? https://mobile.etherpad.mozilla.org/84

      • But we should crash better when random libraries decide to exit now
  • Tracked down cause of bug 1125048 – Slow fling speed with thumb flings (high DPI)
  • Investigated bug 1121541 – Autophone – PROCESS-CRASH | dom/media/test/test_autoplay_contentEditable.html | application crashed [@ libc.so + 0x1cd54]

Still working on Reading List Client. Goals for this week:

  • Merge code in a branch of firefox-ios
  • Have basic syncing going (without conflict resolution)
  • Update Reading List UI to look in new storage

Moved iOS Nightly build server to https://ci.fxios.allizom.org – I will setup accounts there for other devs if you want to see the build results or run your own bots on it.

Because we are one man short, (congrats wes), i will start picking up a bunch of UI bugs and/or PRs.

<Read Only> (sick)

  • 1124895 Add password manager usage data to FHR
    • super duper high priority
    • want to uplift patches to beta (37) asap
    • mobile will require its own patch for probes, will be a different bug
    • JS is throwing an illegal character on #ifdef ANDROID
      • think it points to a build system issue, the preprocessor should have removed that before the JS code runs. Either the preprocessor is not running on that file, or is somehow messed up. I have messed with the jar.mn & moz.build files with no success so far. See latest comment on bug for more details.

SeaMonkey: 2015-03-03

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

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> TBD
  • 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. 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).
    • SeaMonkey RelEng is concentrating on upgrading our Windows build machines to W2008 and Visual Studio 2013.

CLOSED

  • bug 1081726 Donation link on website needs to be change to point to SeaMonkey Paypal donation page. [FIXED]
  • —

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.
    • 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.
  • [2nd 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 (Not 100% sure on c-b since it’s busted right now)
      • OSX64:
        • Build – Orange : bug 958812 – References of firefox.dmg hard-coded in Mozharness tests.
        • Debug – Red : bug 1137532 – Need to update clang to a newer version.
    • [comm-beta]
      • All Platforms:
        • Patch from bug 1128291 was pushed to DOM-inspector repo, but it only applies (atm) to c-c and c-a. Both c-b and c-r shouldn’t use DOM_LATEST_RELEASE tag. The patch from bug 1137110 was pushed to c-b to fix this on c-b. c-r doesn’t need fixing as it uses the

right tag.

  • 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 beta 1 was released on 25 February.
  • SeaMonkey 2.33 final, (supposed to be released on 2nd March, but will be delayed).
    • This is fortunate since Ratty forgot to land bug 1120067 on the then comm-aurora and comm-beta. Now pushed to comm-release and comm-beta. Phew!
  • 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.
  • 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 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager needs an owner
    • 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. Need to look into the possibility of hosting our own servers 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: 35 new, 6 fixed, 18 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:
38 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 possiblity is to set up our own Sync 1.5 server on a Community machine.

Need To Know

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

Notices/Schedule (sylvestre/lmandel)

Next Merge: April 6, 2015 Next Release: April 7, 2015
Trains
Central: 39 Aurora: 38 Beta: 37 Release: 36
  • The next merge date is March 30, just four weeks away. Firefox 37 and 38 releases have been moved up one week to avoid conflicts with holidays.
  • Firefox 38 will be the “spring thing” Firefox release and the next ESR, retiring ESR 31.
  • Dashboard showing tracked bugs for Beta and Aurora: http://people.mozilla.org/~klahnakoski/platform/releases.html

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

The next Tree Closing Window is scheduled for Saturday, March 14.

MemShrink (njn)

A new Windows-only “address-space” memory reporter (bug 1134030) landed which may help debug Windows graphics and video memory usage. If you have other ideas on how to measure Windows graphics and video memory usage, contact Nicholas Nethercote.

Shumway (tschneidereit)

Shumway made some headlines a couple weeks ago (TechCrunch and CNET) when it was enabled (in the Nightly channel only) for playing Amazon product tour videos. Shumway has now been enabled for playing IMDb trailer videos.

WebAPI (overholt)

Service Workers (bug 1059784) should land soon. (Famous last words.)

IndexedDB performance work will also land soon: bug 866846 will enable SQLite’s WAL journal and bug 1112702 will change transactions to be non-durable. These SQLite options favor performance over durability like Chrome and IE do. They do not increase the risk of database corruption.

Roundtable

(Links to blog posts, books, videos, etc. that you think will be of interest to others.)

Learn how to make your code more readable and expressive (without getting too meta), make it easy to run and maintain, and then lean back and have a cuppa while admiring the beauty of the thing you just have built.
