Schedule Update

  • 38.0.5 is hitting us hard
    • late build of b7:
      • l10n migration script not run
      • release automation failed (beta built from m-r)
      • Too late for QE sign off
      • Decided not to release (which was an excellent choice: we would have create a big(ger) mess)
    • b8: sign off postpone because of a branding issue affecting both desktop & mobile
      • now hitting CDN cache issue
      • one good news: mobile is live
  • The next GTB (beta 9) is Wednesday, go live Thursday (May 1st is an holiday)
  • I will be still tracking the 38 bugs as we have 38.0.5 (the same flags being used for the two versions… Yeh, I know :/) proposing new bugzilla tracking flag.
  • Sylvestre will be in pto May 9 => 16 (planned before Lukas left us)
    • lmandel is covering

Add-ons

Stability

Aurora / Dev Edition

  • Overall rate: 2.0 browser, 0.4/1.0 plugin crash/hang (target: <1.5; 0.07/0.14)
  • browser side is getting into decent shape for beta, but plugin side still far away from it
    • aklotz still looking into issues, making some progress
    • move it to 40 ?

Beta

  • Overall rate: 1.54 (target: <1.4, including shutdownhangs )
  • bug 1116812 (TDRs) is 3.7% in 38.0b6 data, bug 1157764 might help with that
  • bug 1127270 (layers::CompositorParent::ShutDown) is 3.6%
  • bug 1141089 (ContainerState::InvalidateForLayerChange) is 1.7%, only data-gathering patches so far
  • bug 1153558 (gfx, msvcr120.dll) is 1.5%, patch for bug 1133119 should help and be in b78
  • bug 1154003 (FillRectangle) is 1.5%, patch should be in b78
  • bug 1143806 (layers::SyncObjectD3D11::FinalizeFrame) is 1%, patch might not help 38

Release

  • Overall rate: 1.28 (37.0.1 had 1.33, 36 had ~1.2, 35 .8-.85)

QE

Beta

  • Push to beta will come shortly after this meeting, looks like CDNs are finally fine.

User Advocacy

Trusteer Rapport is broken
Keeping an eye on MSE, not noticing compelling qualitative feedback, doing some more quantitative stuff today.

Roundtable

  • Any objection to having a tracking-flags firefox-status 38.0.5 ?
    • The sheriff script not ready for this. We will have different issues
    • Sylvestre is going to take care of that
  • Do we need to plan for beta 10 early next week?
    • rc1/2 instead of a beta 10
    • gtb on sunday b10 (or rc1) ?
  • When/how should we do the merges?

Initially, we planned to merge m-b into m-r

  • release is 38.0.5 m-b 39 relbranch for 38

Option 1)
We do this merge:
39 will be in m-b
38.0.5 will be in m-r
Side effect => 39 won’t have any more testing until June 2nd May 26. Main risk there is for suggested tiles.

Option 2)
We don’t do this merge:
39 will live in m-a for a few more weeks.
38.0.5 beta will be built from m-b
38.0 will live in m-r (and we don’t have to use relbranch)
Side effect => 40 will be in m-a later and we want to communicate on this.
Also means that 40 will be on m-c longer delaying the start of 41

Option 3)
Postpone 38.0

  • OpenH264 update shipped to desktop Nightly, making its way to release (see thread on r-d)
  • Sync migration prompts have been enabled (bug 1154991)
  • YouTube MSE enabled again for small percent of 37.0.x release population on Windows

Special Topics

Aurora/Beta Feature Review

39


  • Suggested tiles: Many open bugs. Slated for 39 anyway. Bug 1140185.
  • Async plugin init: Disabled in 38. Still unstable. May not ride to beta on 39. Bug 1116806.
  • Vertical text support: Likely to be disabled when 39 moves to Beta. Bug 1138384.
  • FHR/Telemetry unification: May be disabled when 39 moves to Beta. Bug 1139460.
  • Sharing urls from Hello: On track for 39 release. Bug 1132301.

Great stuff! thanks!

Firefox Desktop & Platform (Javaun/Chad/Martin)

Current Releases

EME is on track for 38. Some bugs for us, some for Adobe.

38.0.5: Some elements at risk. Good news: L10N out of scope, EN-US only.

64 bit rollout planning is resuming today. We are not launching Win64 in 38 nor 38 ESR.

Iteration 40.3: Some work for 38.0.5. Add-on signing planning is happening.

Beta (38)

  • GMP regression from EME patch that was uplifted to Beta, this should be a block-ship issue and we’re working on a patch bug 1159300

Firefox Mobile (Mark/Brad/Jenn)

Firefox for iOS

  • iOS Status Report for this week
  • Sync is considered At Risk for June 2nd Campaign timelines, at least partially (history, passwords)
  • Timing of feature availability (such as Sync) means any external feedback cycle is also At Risk for June 2nd.

Firefox for Android

Beta (38)

  • Reader View & Local Only Reading List for this release. Pocket Integration is not in scope for the 38 release.

Nightly (40)

  • Tab Queues
  • Voice Search
  • Password Manager
  • Otherwise, light in terms of new feature content as the majority of work completed for this cycle was uplifted.

Developer Tools (Jeff)

Feedback Summary (Cheng/Tyler/Matt)

Desktop

Tracking a few crashes on release:

Trusteer (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159484)

Old versions of Displaylink drivers seem to be causing a few different crashes.

Market Insights from the Product Team (Kev)

No update this week, but will add items of interest for next

One item of note is the Microsoft Build developer conference this week in SF. It has an online presence with streaming of some sessions, some of which will give more info on Edge (the official name of what’s been referred to as “Spartan”).

SeaMonkey: 2015-04-28

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

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

  • bug 1150082 SeaMonkey Donation Page is using the PayPal all or nothing version, instead of the usual either/or one. Mcsmurf is investigating.
  • 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 1121281 tracks the RelEng automation migration off CVS. Currently two option patches awaiting for Callek’s decision. Once settled, ewong will follow up with RelEng patches based on that decision.

CLOSED

  • 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.
    • Move of the website from CVS to hg was due to happen on Monday bug 1150335.
    • Need to check all website links (e.g. Document History) now point to the correct place – Jens?

Random news

  • A Mozillazine member Havin_it has managed to set up a working Fx Accounts server [1]. I’ve encouraged him to create a wiki page to document the steps needed for building a working server. I should ask ewong to follow up on this.
  • Community member Martin Mokrejs [2] has learnt how to do debug builds and is busy filing bugs [3]. Can someone please contact him and invite him to the SeaMonkey irc channel and/or our developer newsgroup?

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Notes:
    • 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 because they aren’t uploaded to AMO. The solution requires changes in SeaMonkey RelEng (and possibly AMO).
    • Should be fixed. Waiting for verification. 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 KaiRo has landed a fix in bug 1084258 (Language pack compatibility should be bound to Gecko branch, else undefined entity errors possible).
    • For various reasons we don’t have a working SeaMonkey TBPLTreeherder.
    • SeaMonkey’s release/website processes have been migrated to Mercurial.
  • [28th April 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]:
      • All Nightlies are red due to bug 1155013 as we now require the use of a Socorro token. (Getting the token is tracked by bug 1155011). Currently waiting on what user account will be used for the tokens. rhelmer to advise ewong on this. Also SeaMonkey will need to switch the build process to the new way of symbol uploading.
  • 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 and is the most recent release.
  • No scheduled ETA for 2.34 beta 1 yet – depends on fixing bug 1114876
    • Need to look at possibility of a further 2.33.x release if no 2.34
    • there were 15 security fixes (5 of which critical) in the Gecko 37 cycle so far
    • Firefox has merged mozilla-beta into mozilla-release already, in preparation of the 38.0 ESR branch
    • next scheduled merge day is 11 May
  • Discussion on whether it’s worth it to do a 2.34 Beta or skip straight to a 2.35 beta – probably the latter.

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.
    • Lemon Juice continues to improve his already impressive Addon Converter. The source is now available on GitHub [4].
    • Rainer Bielefeld together with other community members have been updating the list of Firefox addons that have been successfully converted by the Addon Converter.
    • Ratty filed bug 1130390 to add a link on seamonkey-projects.org to the Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey.
  • SeaMonkey 2.33 and Lightning 3.8b1/3.8b2 shows no events or tasks. bug 1144285
    • The problem is that both Thunderbird and Lightning are build with Visual C++ 2013 but SeaMonkey is still build with Visual C++ 2010. Therefore the SeaMonkey installer contains only the VS2010 (msvcp100.dll/msvcr100.dll) files but not the VS2013 (msvcp120.dll/msvcr120.dll) files. The SeaMonkey switch to VS2013 is tracked in Bug 1092468.
  • 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

      • 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 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: 33 new, 15 fixed, 14 triaged.

  • Low-medium triaging effort, slightly 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: 2015-04-28

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

Notices/Schedule (sylvestre/lmandel)

Next Merge: May 11, 2015 Next Release: May 12, 2015
Trains
Central: 40 Aurora: 39 Beta: 38 Release: 37

Only two weeks until the next Firefox release date! (2015-05-11)

Layout (David Baron)

Off-main-thread animations now enabled on all platforms for Nightly and Aurora (bug 980770). This means many animations of the transform and opacity properties will now run on the compositor thread, with fewer updates on the main thread.

Media

We shipped some MSE fixes in the Firefox 37.0.2 chemspill, so YouTube will re-enable HTML5 video for Firefox 37.0.2 on Windows next week.

Performance (Vladan Djeric)

Aaron Klotz and Ben Turner paid a visit to Adobe’s Flash team at their SF offices. They were able to provide fixes for several Flash player issues! An example of their work is in bug 1133351. This particular patch also landed in our codebase.

Many Telemetry histograms automatically expired in Nightly 40. Check Histograms.json and bug 1156565 to see if your histogram needs to be updated.

Telemetry unification work is continuing, Phase 3 is tracked in bug 1120356. Enabling unified Telemetry (i.e. FHR + Telemetry) might get pushed back to Firefox 40.

Among the latest Telemetry changes, Telemetry will submit data more aggressively to make analyses more reliable (akin to FHR) and to reduce reporting latency. Additionally, unified Telemetry now archives Telemetry data on the client for 6 months — this archive will be used to power the Firefox Self-Support feature.

Yoric added a “Task Manager” feature to Nightly 40 (bug 674779) to identify tabs and add-ons that are consuming the main thread’s time and slowing down Firefox. Specifically, it reports the time spent by the main thread inside different JS compartments. You can see a very rough UI for this feature by opening about:performance in Nightly. For overhead reasons, the feature currently does not measure time spent in compartments belonging to Firefox’s own chrome JS code.

The Performance team, alongside Platform teams, will be studying page scrolling & page navigation performance on desktop & Android in Q2: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Content_Performance_Program

The Places database work done by the “Forget” toolbar button, the “Forget Site” history-menu feature, and the “Clear recent history” feature has been moved off the main thread (bug 1076775). Less jank!

If you notice any plugin issues (crashes, videos not loading, etc), please file a bug and mark it as blocking the async plugin initialization feature (bug 1116806).
