Add-ons

  • No updates.

Stability

Aurora

  • Overall rate: 1.7 (target: <1.5) – browser: 1.0, content: 0.7
    • Switching off e10s by default made us drop to the same rates as 41 had before uplift to beta.
    • No signature did rise significantly, so nothing really bad happened to non-e10s mode as far as we can tell on the stability side.

Beta

  • Overall rate: 0.9 (same as last week)
  • bug 1204324 (nsXMLHttpRequest::Send) is a new crash (#1 Top Crash Score, 0.7% of b9 crashes) triggered by some add-ons, worked around for the moment by blocklisting the two most-seen add-ons, but there are more that trigger this. The bug is clearly in our code and not the add-ons as JS-only add-ons should never make us crash in a way like that. The add-ons that we blocked were not signed, so we didn’t see them trigger this before we turned off the signing requirement.
  • bug 1182197 (Promise Settle) is 1.9% of 41.0b9 crashes. Took a speculative fix in RC1
  • bug 1204909 (TraceCallbackFunc::Trace) is a new crash with 0.4% but 3.7 crashes per installation, so pretty annoying to those who encounter it.

Release

  • Overall rate: 0.9 (same as last week)
  • bug 1189940 continues to be ~15% of Windows 10 crashes.
  • bug 1198884 (ubuntu, GStreamer 1.0) is still by far the #1 crash on Linux, the actual crash is probably bug 1112371

Mobile

  • bug 1194923 is a pretty bad issue on Nexus 6 and similar devices, might be a 41 blocker
  • bug 1204483 is a new crash in beta, though it seems to happen on unusual devices

SeaMonkey: 2015-09-15

Agenda

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

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 to talk to ewong about options.

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.
  • 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.
  • [15th 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 & comm-aurora:
    • comm-release:
      • All platforms: Possibly bustage due to (early?) merge of m-b to m-r.
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.33.1 was released on 23 March and is the most recent release.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling
    • merge day was 10 August as scheduled
  • SeaMonkey 2.35 release:
    • Released September 3rd 2015.
  • SeaMonkey 2.38b1 release:
    • Released September 7th 2015.
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

  • 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:
    • Change to Safe Browsing
    • Change of printing API bug 1146454 needs to be ported, immediate bustage was fixed in bug 1190344.
      • IanN is working on migrating 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 1133380 about:privatebrowsing (Default), bug 1133582 about:config (Modern)
      • further work to separate function from style in CSS for about:privatebrowsing in bug 1178008 (3rd-party themes)
      • Ratty restored about:privatebrowsing UI to before it was messed up by Project Chameleon styles [bug 1192276]
    • Our front end Sync UI needs to be updated as the old backend has gone away. 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.
    • 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: 17 new, 8 fixed, 18 triaged.

  • Medium-low triaging effort, 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
    • 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:
49 review
5 super-review
5 ui-review
13 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.

    • bug 1127784 proposes to add a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions.
      • FIXED has landed, with UI seen in non-release builds only
      • but uncertain if it does anything useful to be tested

Next Week

Thursday September 24, 2015, 9am PT / noon ET / 4pm UTC – Mozilla Mountain View + Air Mozilla

Monthly Brantina: “Should I Put it On Yammer?

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.

Bill Walker will speak about a new initiative focused on the mobile web apps that users discover organically, use offline, and reengage with. We think same combination of service workers, web push, and the w3c app manifest that fuels the New Gaia Architecture and Progressive Apps will be tremendously valuable to web developers everywhere.

As an example of what’s possible, here’s a demo of Fred Wenzel’s FireKey.org working offline in multiple browsers using serviceworkers. FireKey.org provides passwords for two-factor authentication at sites like github.com.

James W. (snorp), Android Platform Team (Jim, Randall, Eugen, Randall)

  • I’m working on updating our tile size and pool size to account for modern devices. Right now we barely cache enough tiles to even cover the screen on many devices, and with quad HD ones coming out soon (or already?) it will get worse. Once fixed, this should help alleviate checkerboarding some. Paint suppression work also continues, need to refactor a bit. I’m also looking into a hack using ‘screenrecord’ for the devtools guys.
  • Jim continues on JNI changes. We will soon be opening the browser window with a JNI call instead of the commandline, which allows us to easily hook up to the GeckoView that requested it.
  • Dylan is working on some bugs, including some JNI stuff
  • Randall is making good progress on APZ. He figured out some of the causes of bad event coordinates, and continues to fight through more of the same. It feels like we’re getting close to solving all of the really bad stuff here.
  • Eugen is fixing some media bugs, including getting hardware-decoded VP8/VP9 to work with MSE. This is important because YouTube really wants to use that. He also has some results from a tool he’s working on to time how long JS imports take. It is depressing. 2.9s to import all of our stupid JS on startup! https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8844853
