Stability

Aurora

crash rate: 2.7 (red) – browser 1.3, content 1.39
big spike in the last few days

Spikes:

  • signatures: _chkstk, UnmarkGrayTracer::onChild, js::ObjectGroup::traceChildren, JS::CallbackTracer::onShapeEdge
    • _chkstk: crashes rose from 0 (2016-03-26) to 248 (2016-03-28)
    • for the others: crashes were at 0 (2016-03-25) and rose to respectively 248, 99, 54 (2016-03-28)
    • the crash reason is always EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW
    • in all the cases, the backtrace is useless (reduced to one element)
    • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259699 has been fixed (in Nightly) and we should have better information (signature or backtrace) to fix these issues
      • If the fix is helping, will request uplift to Aurora

Topcrash

Beta

crash rate: 1.33 (red) – browser 1.17 , content 0.16

Topcrashes in beta 5

  • Bug 1246108 – Core::Audio/Video:Playback Drained AudioStreams should not be restarted (kinetik) This should land with beta 6

    • Bug 1259089 – Set a socket nonblocking in sts, just to be sure (dragana) (no fix yet)
  • Bug 1255737 – Async shutdown crash with “MediaStreamGraph shutdown: blocking on msg thread”
    • backed out MediaStreamgraph changes. May need help with Places crashes still.

Spikes:

Release

crash rate: 1.16 (red)

trusteer rapport crashes still in high numbers (responsible for ~6% of all crashes on 45.0.1) – bug 1255026

Spikes:

  • bug 1132499 – signature NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16::NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16, increase around 50% (from 144 to 201) between 2016-03-23 and 2016-03-28, the bug has been fixed 24 days ago
    • not uplifted to Beta46

Topcrashes

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 any time soon.
    • 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 VS2015 would likely solve this and other bustages. frg 03/27: moot point to do it. m-c switched to VS2015 via tooltool on 03/25. See my section.
    • There are also some upcoming changes to L10n build system in Q1 2015 (bug 1107635).
    • Even en-US builds have stopped again. The latest trunk nightlies were 2.45a1 dated 8-Mar-2016 for W32, L32 & L64, and 2.43a1 dated 6-Jan-2016 for Mac. ** 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).
    • 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 March 2016]
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.40 is out.
  • We are skipping SeaMonkey 2.41
  • Currently planning for 2.42.

Previously on Buffy The Vampire Slayer:

  • IanN suggests we should follow the Thunderbird release model, doing releases off the ESR-* branch but also the occasional comm-beta “release”. L10N Translations might be problematic however rsx11m says using ESR would be “safer” with regard to more stability on releases and not having to cope immediately with bustages from mozilla side, but may require some “deal” to get l10n-relevant minor patches into the releases before the next ESR branch is coming. If you have a patch that applies cleanly from comm-beta to comm-esr45, translations should be done already (of course, that’s just simple patches such as label changes or adding a checkbox). rsx11m would go with {comm,mozilla}-esr45 and merge any “safe” patches from comm-beta but that may need some talking to l10n if string changes are involved.
  • Adriank thinks we need an *own* build infra separate from MoCo. What is needed is a buildbot (Adrian use Jenkins), a Windows, Linux, and OSX virtual machine.
  • Frg: Chatzilla locale generation still broken. Frg and Adrian to deal with this.
  • SeaMonkey 2.40 final (tracking bug 1233615) was partially released March 14, 2016
  • Next merges are scheduled for April 18 (beta → release: April 11).
    • comm-release default is now on SM 2.42.
    • comm-release and mozilla-release are now on 45.0.
    • comm-esr45 and mozilla-esr45 are now current.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings (outdated), altertative list started (currently Rainer Bielefeld is the only active maintainer)
  • Lightning betas are up for 2.40, 2.41, and 2.42.
  • 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. To be fixed in bug 1210791 [checkin-needed]
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Changes to Safe Browsing. Frg has a patch ready for check-in in bug 1250600 .
    • Introduction of a cloud-based certificate revocation list system for blocklists bug 1227956. rsx11m has a patch in bug 1259947 mirroring TB changes (bug 1248557 and friends).
    • Firefox is currently changing styles of several Toolkit pages
      • already affected: config.xul for about:config, Will be fixed in SeaMonkey bug 1222816.
      • 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
      • 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.
  • 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.
    • [Ratty] The url for the discovery pane is set in a pref. Instantbird points the URL to a chrome XUL document. If we do this we don’t have to worry about the python stuff.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 36 new, 6 fixed, 6 triaged.

  • good triaging effort, Rainer Bielefeld has been busy filing and verifying bugs.
  • 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
      • No clear statements by the Firefox drivers, bug has been restricted for comments since
      • Discussion diverted to https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/planning-the-future-of-complete-themes/
      • See bsmedberg’s post #14, targeted for Gecko 49 (April 2016).
      • may prohibit Modern theme being shipped with or installed in SeaMonkey
      • removal is “decided” without any clear alternative envisioned
    • The toolkit help viewer is going away. Neil is working on resuscitating the old XPFE help viewer which apparently has more features.

  • 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” ?Tonymec (talk) 13:56, 7 October 2015 (PDT)
    • 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”.
    • 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”?)
    • [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

— Discussion on locale translations for DOMi and Chatzilla —

  • [frg] More or less obsolete items removed 03/27. One l10n bug remaining but hopefully fixed soon.
  • [IanN] Ratty: do we need to start looking at how to overlay Chatzilla and DOMi on top of the TB’s new merged (c-c + m-c) repository?
  • [Ratty] Not sure. I hope we can continue doing what we have been doing using nested repositories. However in the new merged repository. The comm-central client.py is replaced by the mozilla-central client.py so I don’t know how this will work.
  • [IanN] Merging DOMi into comm-central would make SeaMonkey releases easier. We just need to sort out locale building for DOMi.

Roundtable – Personal Status Updates

Status Updates from developers – what are you working on, what’s the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

ewong

  • Working On:
    • bug 1190773 – backend change for tooltool process to support the new tooltool repo.
    • bug 1260993 – change our Linux* builders to use gcc 4.8.5.
    • waiting to see if the ‘fix’ for the 2.39 to 2.40 update for Win64 clients work.

frg

Waiting for review:

  • bug 1055954 popup exceptions are not added. Please review and let me know if it’s ok. Contains string changes.
  • bug 1188348 data manager: domains invisible for Permissions, Preferences, Passwords. Contains string changes and hopefully will not miss the next cycle. I am done here and any changes will be need to put in new bugs.
  • bug 1251368 SeaMonkey cookie code needs to be updated to take into account mozilla-central bug 1245184. Might work without checking bug 1188348 in first but not tested. 2.44 and up affected.
  • bug 1250600 Update Safebrowsing in SeaMonkey for recent changes in Firefox. Follow up bug of bug 920951 Update SeaMonkey Safebrowsing preferences to sync with Mozilla-Central. Old SeaMonkey API key does no longer work but the lists are downloaded. Ratty found out that Google throttles in this case.
  • bug 1210791 Get rid of XULPPFLAGS in ChatZilla. ChatZilla l10n xpi will be ok afterwards for c-r and up.

Working on:

  • bug 1258226 Remove debugQA from SeaMonkey. Input please if this should be up for reviewed if we should keep debugQA in it’s current state.
  • bug 1238767 Localized Suite build fails in DebugQA: Stalled. I think the l10 build system might be responsible and tries to pick up files from the wrong location. Adrian Kalla thinks I need to do an l10 merge only. I disagree because the xpi only explicitly supports en-US builds. Will be a mood point if above bug is accepted.

Titbits:

  • c-r and up should build now out of the box. bug 1258206 is in as a successor for bug 1167346 comm-aurora builds are not building due to DOMi and ChatZilla pulling from revisions earlier…. It still needs to be checked into c-c so that the next merge won’t break it again.

Other things on my mind:

  • SeaMonkey needs reviewers. Ratty is not SuperRatty and can do it alone 🙂
  • –enable-optimize=-O2 should be used for Windows release builds. Linux gcc –enable-optimize optimizes for speed. With VS2013 it optimizes for size. Resulting O2 Windows build feels a lot snappier.
  • Alternate distribution path for SeaMonkey should be evaluated. It still builds and works fine but without builds in the hands of users doesn’t make much sense.
  • SeaMonkey compiles fine under VS2015 Update 2 RC with Windows 10 SDK. x86 builds produced here still works fine under Windows XP SP3. x64 build is stable for daily use in my eyes (same with VS2013).
  • m-c switched to VS2015 Update 1 and Windows 10 SDK on 03/25/2016!
  • bug 1244467 Localized Builds: ChatZilla language pack missing from SeaMonkey installer package will not be fixed by bug 1210791
  • Aero Peek is broken in c-b and up see bug 1256714. I didn’t find something which could have caused this. Got it back briefly yesterday in 2.45a1 so might be e10s related (something asynchronous timing out?).
  • When looking in Bugzilla what to do next I found a lot of in my eyes obsolete bugs in a short time. Who can close them. Tracking them in a meta bug?
Comment: I am working on this problem. We have lots of UNCONFIRMED Bugs, many of them old /obsolete. But in my systematic review (may be 3 … 5 each week) I find (approximately) 25% of these old bugs real bugs, half of them Core half of them really SeaMonkey bugs. With this speed review still will take 2 more years or so, but I think it’s better than a mass-close. — Rrbd (talk) 10:53, 29 March 2016 (PDT)

Friends of Mozilla

  • Big thanks to Ashish Sakreen, Varun Joshi, and Njira Perci who have all recently contributed their first patch to Balrog (our update server).
  • To William Quiviger who’s leaving Mozilla next month. Your vision and leadership have been key for the organization during the past 8 years. Mozilla Reps, the current Participation Team, most of our local communities and many other links and bridges between staff and the volunteer community wouldn’t be possible without you. Thanks!

  • The Role of a Product Manager – and Everyone Else: Monthly Speaker Series: 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 5:00pm UTC @ Mozilla MV + Air Mozilla

“The job of a product manager is to help your team (and company) ship the right product to your users.” Seems simple – but anyone who has worked on a product knows it’s not. At what point are you ready to ship? What is the right product? How do you know when you’ve built it? And often more complicated than it sounds: who are your users?

  • Speaker:

As an investment partner at Greylock, Josh Elman invests in entrepreneurs building social networks and platforms, mobile apps, new media, and connected devices. Before joining Greylock, Josh was the product lead for growth and relevance at Twitter, growing Twitter’s active user base by nearly 10x. Prior to Twitter, Josh worked on the platform at Facebook and led the launch of Facebook Connect. Josh was an early employee at LinkedIn and helped establish early models for user growth and launched v1 of LinkedIn Jobs. Josh also held roles leading product management for Zazzle, and product and engineering for RealJukebox and RealPlayer at RealNetworks.

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It’s like a lightning talk, but don’t feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 “widescreen” format, please indicate in the “Sharing” column below.
