iOS

1.2 – To start simple, we have version 1.2 in the App Store right now. This was a followup bug fix release for our big November (1.1) release.

1.3 – Currently Waiting For Review is version 1.3. This is primarily a bug fix release but also contains two small features that a lot of people have been asking for: Request Desktop Site and Integration with 1Password and other compatible password managers. (pwSafe now and Lastpass when they update their app) We hope to push this to the app store end of this week.

1.4 – We are working on another small update that contains just changes for the Chinese market. These include: search engines, shortcuts (tiles), access to Chinese Firefox Sync servers. The Mozilla China team has contributed all these changes already (!) and we have merged them in the product. We will do a TestFlight build of this version soon and the goal is to get it on the App Store the week of January 11th. This is all being coordinated with the Mozilla China team and Jack Guo.

Bugs are tracked here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=1227832&hide_resolved=0

(The bugs related to the china-specific navigator panel are not part of this 1.4 release)

2.0 – Our next bigger release. Work in progress but scheduled to go out early February. We will most likely start sending out TestFlight builds early January. Note that this will be our last ‘big’ release. We will move to a shorter and more predictable six week train model for releases after this one. Details about that will become more clear in the coming weeks.

Question Time

When will we get 64 bit Thunderbird builds on Windows. They are built right now for Daily, for example:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2015/12/2015-12-15-03-02-04-comm-central/thunderbird-46.0a1.en-US.win64.installer.exe

Other

ba

Regarding the question on Enigmail/p≡p, the installation will be a single executable file that will include everything if it is installed as add-on. In Microsoft Outlook, a similar p≡p plug-in installation takes 5 clicks and 10 seconds without asking a single question. Patrick/Volker will provide more input on this via the wiki once it is set-up.

SeaMonkey: 2015-12-08

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

  • Need to port Sync 1.5 to SeaMonkey – IanN has spoken briefly to ewong about options, Ratty might be able to help too.
  • 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.
    • About specific aspects of this problem, see: bug 1230796, bug 1230804, bug 1230806 and maybe more.

CLOSED

  • Send a delicious cake to each of our RelEng Team for all their hard work getting SeaMonkey 2.35 and 2.38 out of the door. Assigned to Ratty.
    • Ewong and Callek have received theirs.
  • —

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Notes:
    • Callek: Regarding the windows systems, sadly no progress yet. I’m hopeful we can get done sooner than later, I’m realistic expecting it won’t be until january at earliest.
    • Ewong will set up a cron job to do semi regular builds on the loaner machine.
    • 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.
  • [8th December 2015]
  • No Update. Ewong is hospitalized. Get well soon!
  • Re: Tests. Still broken.
    • Currently bug 1209378 is in progress to fix the perma-brokeness of our testing infrastructure; but it is ‘hard’.
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.39 was released November 8th, 2015.
  • SeaMonkey 2.40 beta out soonish is indefinitely delayed. Ewong is in a hospital and Callek is travelling.
    • (bug 1230393), however it won’t be earlier than 10th since there were a handful of changes that could affect our release process, the most notable of which was the “productdelivery move” (e.g. where we host our bits bug 1223633). We will need to do all the stuff manually.
  • Next merge scheduled for December 14th.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • Lightning 4.4b2 shows no button icons (that’s for SeaMonkey 2.39). To be fixed in bug 1211643. The patch now has reviews. Ratty will check the patch in RSN to com-central, comm-aurora, and comm-beta. comm-release pending approvals.
  • 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 AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey extension, which makes AMO pages a lot more SeaMonkey-friendly, seems mature. (It had 9 successive revisions between 27 September and 3 October, and no change since then.) It was developed by LemonJuice (of Add-on Converter fame), and Tonymec, who tested it and now uses it, supports it enthusiastically. The author proposes to add it as a “built-in extension” besides ChatZilla, DOMi and the like. What do you think? (See also Bug 1145026: AMO Add-On-Descriptions: Add link function leading to SeaMonkey add-on-converter and filling URL input pane; the extension actually does much more than the bug’s Summary implies: for instance it gets rid of the stupid “You need Firefox 10 or later” popups.
  • 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].
  • Ratty has the Firefox Devtools up and running. We can now use the Firefox Devtools debugger in both remote and local mode.
    • Venkman is now totally retired R.I.P..

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:
    • bug 1209875 did break any builds of 2.41+ containing a localized ChatZilla – bug 1213641 filled
    • No en-US trunk builds later than 30 November yet (or even 11 November on win32). Aurora is currently building on Linux (L32 / L64) only.
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Changes to Safe Browsing.
    • 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.
      • mozilla-central bug 1189918 and bug 1190465 allow to fork Toolkit style pages for the classic/default/modern theme without harming theme developers. SeaMonkey bug 1022354 will move theme overrides to the theme manifests.
        • affected pages that should be reverted are about:config [bug 1222816], about:addons [bug 1222817], about:support [bug 1222818] (look ok in Modern but hurt in the Default theme).
    • 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.
    • 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: 27 new, 5 fixed, 15 triaged.

  • low triaging effort, average number of new bugs filed.
  • Ratty has a SeaMonkey build with a working Firefox Devtools!!!! Relevant patches:
    • bug 1208112 Package DevTools client in SeaMonkey now that it’s been moved out of /browser/ [checked-in].
    • bug 1223338 Add DevTools client L10N language files to SeaMonkey builds [checked-in].
    • bug 1223341 Add the Firefox Devtools to the SeaMonkey UI. Waiting for review.
    • bug 1223344 Some tweaks to gDevTools.jsm to get Devtools working in SeaMonkey [Devtools]. Waiting for review.
    • Not working yet: WebIDE and Responsive Design. But everything else seems to work.
  • Mozilla wants to separate Firefox and Thunderbird, in infrastructure and organizationally, which will likely affect SeaMonkey as well
  • Fundamental core features Firefox/Mozilla plans to remove:
    • bug 1222546 Product plan: remove support for heavyweight themes
      • if effective for all Toolkit applications, would render most 3rd-party themes disfunct
      • no sufficiently plausible specifics provided ‘why’ full themes ‘must’ no longer be supported
      • may prohibit Modern theme being shipped with or installed in SeaMonkey
      • removal is “decided” without any clear alternative envisioned
  • 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.

Open reviews/flags:
61 review
5 super-review
2 ui-review
13 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO:
    • Encrypted Media Extensions / Digital Rights Management
      • bug 1127784 added a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions, with UI seen in non-release builds only
      • more work appears to be needed to download necessary 3rd-party Content Decryption Modules, some UI can probably be ported from Firefox
  • What about declaring linux-x86_64 builds found at seamonkey-project.org and at ftp.m.o as “official” ?

On October 7 two people asked in #seamonkey at a few minutes’ interval when there would be “official” 64-bit SM builds for Linux. I pointed them to the x86_64 release at the bottom of the “Other languages” release page for 2.38 and to the x86_64 2.40a2 aurora & 2.41a1 trunk builds at the bottom of the ftp.m.o nightly/latest-comm-* pages but they said these were not “official”.

So — how are we going to get out of the following vicious circle? 64-bit builds are not “official” because too few users, and users don’t install them (some even prefer compiling their own) because they aren’t “official”.

Maybe change the online documentation? (perhaps as part of bug 1208822 “System Requirements page needs update”?)

— Tonymec (talk) 13:56, 7 October 2015 (PDT)

  • [ewong:] what’s the prerequisites of making the Linux64 builds ‘official’ aside for the issue of getting the tests done for Linux64; but our testing infrastructure is busted. bug 1209378

Attendees

lmandel, lizzard, sylvestre, jorge, jlund, frios, ryanvm, elan, rrayborn, phillip, ritu, roland,

Schedule Update

  • Fennec 42.0.2 released yesterday
  • 43.0b8 mobile + desktop released yesterday
  • 43.0b9 desktop will be out tomorrow

Add-ons

  • Bug 1217932 – Blocklist Java plugin up to versions 8u65 and 7u91, pushed live yesterday.
  • Bug 1215970 – Skype blocks extended for all versions of Skype add-on, Firefox 43 and above. Will need to revisit before 43 release to see if the block has had any effect.

Stability

ongoing issues with missing ADI data (may be solved now) – yesterday’s data still not at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/daily?p=Firefox and the crash rate on the days before is unusually low across all channels

Aurora

Overall rate: 1.55 (was 2.05) – browser: 0.90 (was 1.19), content: 0.65 (was 0.85) – Yellow & looking more stable since Tuesday

  • Bug 1198765 – (10.02%+6.58%) is still holding top spot “e10s crash in mozilla::ipc::FatalError | mozilla::layers::PLayerTransactionParent::Read with a11y active”
    • This will go away once we disable e10s when a11y is enabled (bug 1198459)
  • Bug 584447 Crash in [@ nsGlobalWindow::SetDocShell ] – New Startup crash which was resolved fixed 5 years back so we will file a bug to track the new regression.

Beta

  • Bug 1222800 – a11y startup crash regression in 43 (#5 top crash score), help needed by devs in the bug, maybe possible to back out the regressing changes this cycle…?

noticable decline of two graphics related top crashes apparently independent of our actions:

  • fixes for 2 top crashes over the last weeks landed in beta 8 – Bug 1226400 (mozilla::dom::FontFaceSet::Load) & Bug 1200021 (mozilla::layers::ContentClientDoubleBuffered::FinalizeFrame) – both seem to be working well, no new reports \o/

^^ palindrome bug!

RelEng

   need signoff on play store availablilty for fennec beta8 before starting beta9

   unless there is not a fennec beta9 today

Marketing/Communications

Requesting we pull some release notes for 43/44 

   SHA-2

   Improved support for legacy-encoded Traditional Chinese pages (Big5, including HKSCS)

   WebRTC streaming on multiple monitors

   GTK3 integration (GNU/Linux only)
  • no e10s by default in 44. Experiment with 7.5% of the population

User Advocacy

Pulled desktop Heartbeat en-* Mobile promotion after complaints from users that clear localstore that they were seeing it multiple times. This appears to primarily be due to a few privacy addons.
Solutions being explored: 1) Writing code to check that localstore hasn’t been cleared in X sessions, 2) Storing state in Firefox itself (needs eng resources / advisement). Either way any large HB runs seem on hold for now.
If anyone has a good method for estimating scope of regularly cleared localstores, it would help inform our future decisions here.
