• Eclipse

I blogged 10 mini-video tutorials about developing Fennec with Eclipse at http://www.ncalexander.net/blog/2014/03/24/eclipse-mini-tutorials/

• Firefox Accounts

Diving deep into the weeds that need trimming in order for us to rev our on-disk Account storage formats, a pre-requisite for bug 975625. Plan is to re-work the Android Account types for all Fennec packages in order to prevent cross-package shenanigans. This will allow both the Beta and Release packages to sync at the same time (which hasn’t been supported up to now) at the cost of requiring both packages to set up Sync. (For perspective: we believe we have a handful of users with multiple packages installed and in active use. The vast majority of our userbase won’t notice a difference.)

Topics for This Week

Snippets

Started testing snippets in Nightly yesterday – please report bugs if you see any!

Beta Hotness

Firefox Accounts + Sync and Webapps merged to Firefox Beta (Fx29). Huge shout out to AaronMT: Aaron’s hard work and infinite patience has been absolutely essential to the Firefox Accounts + Sync effort on Android and Desktop.

Tiles

We will start the basic work for Tiles in Fx31. It will be broken into different phases of work, each slated for a different release. For Fx31, we will look at adding default bookmark-like tiles that appear in the empty thumbnails. We’ll do some open posts to get the community involved in picking the set of default bookmark/tiles.

UI Telemetry

We plan to push UI Telemetry in Fx31 and will create a Hack Week next week to get the current WIP code landed.

Firefox Hub

Work continues to get Firefox Hub feature complete for Fx31.

Topics for This Week

Hub

Refining Home.panels API bug 972306, bug 968573, bug 968188. We’ll share the demo add-ons we’ve been working on (Pocket, Flickr, RSS) once the API stabilizes.

talos

What is the point? If I can read an rpr log, we spent 24 minutes of infra time to extract a single value measured in milliseconds.

 09:14:22     INFO -  02-19 09:13:18.414 I/Robocop ( 2607): __start_report509__end_report
 09:14:22     INFO -  02-19 09:13:18.421 I/Robocop ( 2607): __startTimestamp509__endTimestamp

This is incredibly wasteful and not statistically valid!

• Eclipse support finally landed!
  • Please try it out! (and report OS + version compatibility)
  • Read the obligatory blog post
  • Help write the build system docs (in the tree at build/docs/androideclipse.rst)
  • and make follow-ups block bug 853045

• Planning to bit rot you all by landing bug 938994 this week.

• Posted work in progress on a Fennec JUnit 3 test suite bug 903528. Plan of record is to land test suite without TBPL support and encourage uptake by demonstrating how much easier it is to experiment in an instrumentation test that is locally run than in Fennec itself. This is much more convincing when developing in an IDE.

• Mentoring mcomella with bug 915312, a tricky mix of native code and build system hijinkery.

• Re-writing Firefox Account status activity to look like GeckoPreferences. I’m using the following small library to ease the PreferenceFragment on >= v11 vs. PreferenceActivity battle on < v11; we’ll see how that goes.
