Team Updates

Android platform

snorp, jchen, rbarker, esawin, droeh

  • Notes
  • I landed my gfx patches — got some good checkerboarding improvements according to talos (73%). I regressed Mac, though, so….probably need to look at that.
  • Did a bunch of work on Gecko for iOS. Fixed up WebGL, now looking to get the Gecko thread split out from the iOS main thread.
  • Landed a fix for the battery rounding thing (bug 1191918)
  • Eugen is fixing up test failures from the VP9 stuff, and also doing more investigation into JS slowness. Found that things are actually faster if we disable the JIT.
  • Dylan still looking into reftest whackiness, closing in on a solution
  • Randall is still fighting coordinate system badness with synthetic mouse events (used in mochitest). We probably need a fairly major change to the widget event stuff to fix this. He’s discussing with DOM/layout/widget folks.
  • Jim landed some stuff to move prefs code over to native calls. He’s now working on doing the same with IME. He also fixed some fallout from earlier patches regarding viewport event coalescing. Looking at headless stuff Soon.

SeaMonkey: 2015-09-29

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

  • Need to port Sync 2.0 to SeaMonkey – IanN has spoken briefly to ewong about options, Ratty might be able to help too.

OPEN

  • bug 1198340 The carousel within Add-On Manager can be used for SeaMonkey specific content. TO DO: Find out what sort of format AMO needs for the carousel. Get our webdev person to create necessary content. Submit content for upload to AMO.
    • Unfortunately nobody knows exactly how addons.mozilla.works because there’s no full time developer working on AMO. Ratty was given bug 1009759 as an example. So now we need someone who knows python+django.
  • bug 1121281 tracks the RelEng automation migration off CVS. Everything is now in a single repo, patches for using that new repo are awaiting a review from Callek.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Notes:
    • Windows nightly trunk builds are unavailable due to various bugs such as bug 1092468 and bug 1108970. Migrating our Windows builders to Win2008 and our compiler toolchain to VS2013 would likely solve this and other bustages.
    • 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.
    • 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).
    • For various reasons we don’t have a working SeaMonkey Treeherder.
    • wrt bug 1155011, we already have a Soccoro token. The patches on bug 1155013 require approval and then pushed and the work-around patches backed out.
  • [29th September 2015]
    • All trees:
      • Windows platform still busted due to needing Win2008R2 installed.
      • We have a loaner which ewong is working on (see blog for more information).
    • comm-central to comm-beta:
    • comm-aurora to comm-beta:
      • Linux32-debug : busted due to bug 1204162.
        • temporary patch was pushed to c-c so it’s green there; but, needs to either be pushed to c-a and c-b, or the bug fixed. (depends on bug 1203803).
    • comm-release:
      • OSX64: Orange due to bug 958812. (This has always been orange since a long time ago.)
  • Re: Tests.. This hasn’t been mentioned before, but that was only because we have been trying to get our normal builds to run.
    • That said, all the tests are busted in some way or another. (SERGE… WHERE ARE YOU?)
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.38 release:
    • Released September 26th 2015.
    • Merge day was September 21 as scheduled
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling
ewong
  • Started doing nightlies again on the Win32, but due to the fact that they need to be triggered manually, ‘nightlies’ would be considered a misnomer. “Regularlies” would probably be a better word. Maybe “somewhat regularly”.

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • We are looking for a new place to host the Addon Compatibility Listings for the Add-on Converter in order to make it easy to maintain and to serve as the main database for the AMO browsing extension in the future. The details are in this post.
  • 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 [1].
    • looking for a better(?) home for extension-converter pages, along with a way to track successful and conversion-failed add-ons, and respective integration into SeaMonkey by add-on or manager overlay [2], bug 1145026.
    • Rainer Bielefeld will no longer update the list of Firefox addons that have been successfully converted by the Addon Converter. — Rrbd (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2015 (PDT)
    • Ratty filed bug 1130390 to add a link on seamonkey-projects.org to the Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey.
  • The Thunderbird team is now shipping Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN will work on shipping lightning too. Related bugs:
    • bug 516026 Integrate Lightning Into SeaMonkey by Default and Ship SeaMonkey with Lightning Enabled
    • 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.

2.Next

  • We have official permission to use the Firefox FxA 2.0 sync servers! We need someone to work on porting sync 2.0 over to replace legacy sync code. The finer details of how are so far unknown, but we should have a usable solution before legacy sync is turned off. 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.
  • 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:
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Changes to Safe Browsing.
    • mozilla-central bug 1146454 changed the printing API. IanN has migrated comm-central to the new API [bug 1195863].
    • 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 1133582 about:config (Modern)
      • Ratty restored about:privatebrowsing UI to before it was messed up by Project Chameleon styles [bug 1192276]. Subsequent to Chameleon, Firefox developers have again redesigned the about:privatebrowsing UI to include UI for tracking protection. We should look into picking any changes we like.
    • 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 and Thunderbird have migrated to jsdownloads.
    • 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. Neil has a WIP patch on hand.
    • We’ve picked up he default for security.tls.version.min from Mozilla Core, but security.tls.version.fallback-limit is new. So we need to consider adding the latter to our preferences UI (bug 1123673).
      • Currently unclear whether or not this should be done after bug 1084025 disable insecure TLS version fallback entirely by default [3]
      • alternative proposal is to make whitelist for acceptable fallback sites available in the UI, which seems to make more sense.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 19 new, 16 fixed, 19 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort, medium-low 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
    • I have a new computer (at last) and on the last Sunday of August I even found out how to connect it to the Internet. I think the page is essentially finished but I badly need your opinion about it. Anyone with a wikimoz account can edit the page and/or create its Talk page (and is welcome to). If you don’t have a wikimoz account you can still comment on the bug. — Tonymec (talk) 00:17, 27 September 2015 (PDT)

Any other business?

Schedule Update

  • 41
    • Updates disabled at the moment
    • Plan for a dot release early next week due to:
      • bug 1207665 IMA 350 graphics card related start up
      • bug 1178601 Crashes coming from facebook
  • 42.0 beta 1 live on Desktop & Mobile
  • GTK 3 will be disabled in beta 2

 * https://bugzil.la/1206889, up to version 18.0.0.232. Staged and QA'd. Will deploy next week.

Stability

Aurora

Overall rate: 1.7 (no changes as no updates turned on yet

  • Waiting for data to come in over the weekend.

Beta

Overall rate: 1.0 (trending slightly up)

  • bug 1178601 (gl::GLBlitHelper::BlitImageToTexture), almost 4% overall, see release section
  • bug 1208071 (layers::PImageBridgeChild::Write) is 2.2%
  • bug 1208059 (plugins::PluginAsyncSurrogate::Cast) is 2%

Release

Overall rate: 0.9 (trending up, but only slightly and 41 does not have many users yet)

  • bug 1207665 (startup, CompositorD3D11::GetTextureFactoryIdentifier), #1 Top Crash Score, 1.7% of overall 41.0 crashes
  • bug 1178601 (gl::GLBlitHelper::BlitImageToTexture), 5% – this has been rising yesterday in all of 40, 41, and 42, so probably a website change, almost all of those crashes are on Facebook
  • bug 1204669 (nsXBLService::GetBinding) is 0.8% but we thought we had fixed this 🙁
  • bug 1208008 (with “Mozilla Archive Format” add-on), #4 Top Crash Score, 0.8%

Mobile

  • bug 1207642 (random hex addresses) causes crash rates to explode on release 41.
  • bug 1178601 – in the top 5

Roundtable

  • Currently, we don’t enable updates for Aurora until Friday after the release. Do we get enough data from people downloading aurora, to be useful? I’m looking at https://arewestableyet.com/ Wednesday, and it lists 464 people total on 43.0a2. That isn’t a lot. We’re losing a week where we could be catching problems in early aurora on a broader population. I think we should try letting updates be enabled from release day onward and plan to throttle if there is a problem. (lizzard)
    • This period is used for QE to validate aurora and find critical issues (syl)

Special Topics

Aurora/Beta Feature Review

  • 43 aurora: Unified autocomplete, search suggestions, MLS location service

    • Will also eventually move towards a unified UI across API levels (bug 1202076).
  • [mcomella] Material 3-dot menu icon (i.e. round 3-dot icon) fallout is fixed – let me know if you see further issues

    • Mozillia Tech Speakers Flaki Speaking, Tech Speaker Andrzej Mazure + Andre Fielder attending, and Mozillians Guillaume Marty + Dietrich Ayala attending

How do you respond when people at Mozilla ask you this? Do you sigh, roll your eyes, let out a small resigned laugh? Most of us know that many seemingly-benign posts can devolve into a debate nobody expected, necessarily wanted or knows what to do with. Our September Brantina speaker, Deanna Zandt will provide a deeper understanding of how our brains work when we’re engaged in online discussions which can help us communicate better, make better decisions, be more productive, and ultimately engage with more people driving richer, more dynamic outcomes.

Our monthly Speaker Series aka Brantinas are for the public so please invite your colleagues to attend live or via the stream. Views represented by our speakers do not necessarily reflect the views of Mozilla.
