Round Table

Jorg K

  • Landed in last four weeks:
  • Awaiting review:

wsmwk

  • triage Neil review and NI requests
  • releases

rkent

  • donation website is “live” but procedures to report and spend income are not established. Meeting on Thursday 2016-04-07 with MoFo admin on this.
  • beginning to investigate bug 1260724 IMAP failing with godaddy servers in TB 38
  • investigated and landed bug 1250723 (esr45) – startup CRASH: C-C TB ASSERTION: can’t be your own parent aka morkTable::AddRow (v45 topcrash)
  • releases
  • I have a huge project to convert ExQuilla to JS (prototype for a possible similar conversion for Thunderbird) that will take the majority of my time for the next six months.

Question Time

rkent, there is no 64-bit version of TB 45 for Windows. It seems only 46+ but the next public will be 52. 🙁 Is there a possibility of compiling 45 in 64-bit?

  • Someone needs to work on the release engineering to figure out to enable those builds.

Help Wanted

  • Accessibility lead
  • Person comfortable (not necessarily technical experts) with Core type issues. Example, graphics to guide bug 1195947 Thunderbird hardware acceleration (HWA) issues to be resolved
  • Lead to run the donation campaign after TB 45 is released.

jcranmer

  • Review queue is still backlogged
    • Most complicated review at this point is the JSAccount stuff
  • Looking at JS-ification concerns, see mdat/tb-planning post
    • Current status of JS protocol libraries:
      • SASL: Complete, except for NTLM, GSSAPI, and EXTERNAL (not that it’s easy to pull in)
      • Email-socket: prototyping along with NNTP client
      • NNTP client: I want to test replacing our C++ implementation with this once JSAccount is finished
      • JSMime: I have untested prototypes for message composition for below
  • Working on improving JS send implementation
    • Current idea is to try to use an internal interface to break the patches into smaller sets
  • PSA: if you’re touching anything in nsMsgSend or nsMsgCompUtils (or anything else in mailnews/compose except for nsMsgCompose), PLEASE ADD AN XPCSHELL TEST (or a mozmill test if not possible via xpcshell)… if you don’t, it will probably break within a year!

  • Completed delivery format status being persisted in draft feature request: bug 1202165
  • Will be working on Address book visibility issues in AB window and composition sidebar

    • Magnus make the call if needed.
  • 1202165 is ready in code (needs review from jcranmer, who gave r- due to test failure). I just work on some additional mozmill tests.

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

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.

    • Please help green up the tree – including not only c-c but also esr38, beta, and aurora
      • We must be aggressive so checkins when patches become available. Thoughts: if you file a bug, please consider fixing it, or pass it off to someone rather than rely on “the fates”. If it breaks build or tests, please make severity=blocker
  • Thunderbird 45: string freeze per schedule, interface freeze later (that’s me demanding a concession like last year).

Critical Issues

Leave critical bugs here until confirmed fixed. If confirmed, then remove.

blocking

  • 38.3.1 bug 1211160 calendar 4.0.3.1 is a workaround for 38.3.0 — Thunderbird Version 38.3 Buttons not working menu items // bug 1211291 – Folders are visible, but messages are not. (?related to bug 1211358 lightning chrome.manifest not updated in 38.3.0 ?)
  • nightly (3 bugs blocking builds, all are assigned) – bug 1195442 – Mac builds broken ~1 month on nightly
  • rkent is working on it – bug 1183490 – (dataloss) New emails do not adhere to sort by order received
    • Plan is to understand issues in converting completely to nextKey = ++lastKey for non-IMAP, then plan how much to implement for 38.3.0 A simple fix of the dataloss is probable. I have a try patch that does the nextKey = ++lastKey that works, now I need to think about patch for 38 (bug 1202105 needs to go to trunk and 38)
    • update 2015-10-20, patches have been posted but waiting for reviews for 2 weeks (aceman will look at those)
    • update 2015-11-17, review done 11-14, need to update and land.

Round Table

Jorg K

  • bug 1174452 – M-C editor problem, copy/paste – “white-space: pre;” – patch preposed in bug 1214377 ; landed and sadly got reopened, awaiting review again.
  • bug 586587 – M-C drag and drop onto editor window – awaiting review.
  • bug 769604 – C-C font size toolbar button and change increase/decrease size function – awaiting review.
  • bug 1219928 – M-C spell checker problem – awaiting review.
  • Started looking as CJK problems in flowed plaintext messages: bug 26734, bug 653342.
  • Got hit by bug 1224840 – Assertion failure: IsOuterWindow(), fixed one occurrence.

rkent

  • Thunderbird’s future plans
    • Pending letter from Mitchell on Thunderbird and MoCo
    • Big issues for Thunderbird future: 1) cost of transition 2) sources of income
      • 1) Volker Birk & another senior architect will work with you to estimate the cost of transition in man days and $ as they have lots of experince in setting up and migrating complex systems.
      • 2) We have been talking to DigitalCourage about setting up a donation based system and we as the p≡p Foundation will fund Thunderbird until the donation levels are sufficient for a sustained future.
    • Even bigger issues for the future: articulating a vision, collecting partners: p≡p, Postbox, Chinese fork, Gaia email, TDF/Collabora, MoFo, ???
      • We see these points as elements that need to be worked out in the six months’ period that we have agreed with MoFo. As for collecting partners, we consider this as an outcome of the Business Strategy that will be defined in the next 6 months. We, the p≡p Foundation will start discussions with TDF. In my opinion, ‘Collecting Partners’could require quite large time committment and it should hence be very well planned.
    • Status of MoFo-Thunderbird and Thunderbird-p≡p discussions
      • p≡p Foundation is waiting for MoFo to come back with final comments. In the meantime, I’ll be wait for Kent’s input to align
    • My concern for developing capacity of Thunderbird to be self-managed and focused.
    • Planning a Europe meetup in January, focused on a business plan for January – June 2016
      • We are happy to set it up here in Europe.

Question Time

  • new account provisioner: Are there currently any providers other than Gandi? Would it be worth trying to find some more?
  • We need a plan for the build system fairly urgently, given the apparent “no” to the c-c/m-c merge

Updates:

  • Need to fix bug 1194997 for calendars disabling themselves

Round Table

Jorg K

  • bug 772796 – bug 1174452 – M-C Editor problems to do with pre and “white-space: pre;” currently stalled.
  • bug 368915 – change language in subject (language button), ready to land.
  • bug 1197687 – Font menu again, waiting for Neil.
  • bug 1020181 – Set spell check language for recipient (published add-on as quick fix).

wsmwk

  • developers need to be thinking about landing stuff now, and in the next 2 months, for version 45 moves to aurora dec 14
  • HWA – collected more data and filed bug 1195947 Track HWA issues
  • crashes
    • 38.2.0 crash rate ~0.35, dramatically reduced from ~.5 for 38.1.0 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/daily?p=Thunderbird likely mostly due to disabling HWA. Only ~6 GPU crash signatures in top 200 and the highest rank is 80 (vs several in top 20 for 38.2.0), so most GPU driver crashes seem to be gone (but not all of the crash rate reduction will have been just from disabling HWA)
    • topcrash bug 1149287 is **31% of crashes (1)** and needs much work because it’s got multiple causes. Some reports implicate McAfee, some are not “shutdown” because user is hung or waiting on some prompt or protocol issue (only then does user try to close and crashes). (speculating) Are some caused by timer issues from bug 1178890? See the comments http://tinyurl.com/nzwkgaq (1) https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/products/Thunderbird/versions/38.2.0
    • lacking time to follow up on other signatures in the “new” topcrash rankings (but that’s OK because we’re very well off compared to 38.1.0)
  • following progress of Thunderbird web pages moving to bedrock – they are close to being done
  • beware – ishikawa in the next several weeks will be landing big changes from many (>12?) bugs, both core and Thunderbird, for IO performance and error checking, eg bug 1116055

Fallen

  • Patched a lot of build issues, together with aleth

rkent

Code:

  • I think we have made progress on maildir issues, I hope to get two critical issues fixed before the next release.

I’m finally starting to turn more of my attention to management issues rather than urgent TB 38 problems. In the long run, those are very important, but the urgent easily crowds out the important. Kudos to those trying to get the tree usable again!

We could talk about:

  • Our thoughts on the announced changes to addons (Including not only
    • require signed vs unsigned?
      • no upside? i.e. we have no identified exploits
      • need to wait for enterprise impacts to be resolved
      • concerned that because the “unsigned process” will be no longer used by AMO, it may impact ability to push out unsigned THunderbird addons using the script they used to mass sign Firefox’s unsigned addons
    • XPCOM/XUL deprecation
      • need to make sure we are involved in the conversation and decisions so that developers have what they need in the “new environment”
  • Patrick is happy to do Enigmail integration into Thunderbird, I think we should agree. comments?
  • Joshua, Suyash, and I are working on the SkinkGlue (now JsAccount) integration, which will be the basis of both JMAP and CARDDAV support. –> consider using https://github.com/gaye/dav for carddav support
  • Volker Birk of Pretty Easy Privacy is *very* serious about heavily engaging his Foundation with Thunderbird. Concerns? http://pep-project.org/
  • Then there is the legal and financial home issue …
    • Expect a full-court press on MoFo by me soon, if you have contacts there please advise. One thing that is clear to me after talking to people is how critical Thunderbird is in the greater software world. We DO have a place at the table! How to get MoFo to see that?
    • We have submitted a formal application to Software Freedom Conservancy to affiliate with them, now we wait for their evaluation queue.
    • Very interesting talks with The Document Foundation(TDF)/LibreOffice. #1 concern: All of our energy goes into keeping up with Mozilla to allow us to optimize some future code development that we never actually have time for. Their funding model is very interesting, would be worth discussing.
    • hoping to meet with postbox in a few weeks
  • It would be really great if someone could lead efforts to prototype a fund-raising drive web page in-product. (hoping to target Oct/Nov)

aceman

  • looking at bug 1183490 (the order received regression), 2 options:
    1. back out bug 854798. Should be safe. I recommend this.
    2. finally drop msgkey=offset in mbox and just increment by 1. May be risky but there is already a precedent that msgs moved by filters already get key+1 so code expecting key==offset should have already been uncovered. However, there are still some unsure places, fixing which means basically bug 793865 (the 64bit envelope and msgkey!=offset cleanup). I would not recommend this for ESR.
  • finally looking to finish some feature patches (compose font selector, saved files tab, show map widget)

Question Time

Other

  • PLEASE PUT THE NEXT MEETING IN YOUR (LIGHTNING) CALENDAR

  • see tb38 etherpad
  • tracking-tb38 flags – approved(+): http://tinyurl.com/nk3vbhl nominated(?): http://tinyurl.com/pgwflyg
  • Do we unthrottle updates for TB38?
    • suggest 10% for a couple days so we get more data, if there are no objections (wsmwk). we are roughly at 200k users or 1% of user population
    • JoeS1 FWIW Firefox unthrottles immediately to 25 for info, I think we should do the same
      • But I guess they do that because they are ready to do a point release if necessary, and we are not that ready
    • What is state of addons? (generally we don’t decide based on this, except maybe calendar)
    • Are there tracked bugs we want fixed before full unthrottle? (means waiting for 38.1.0)
  • rkent list of critical issues blocking even partial unthrottling:
    • broken Simplified Chinese bug 1174580 – Not display GB2312 encoded texts correctly
      • It might be possible to simply change the encoding mapping to fix this?
    • proxy not working bug 1175051 and probably related crashes
  • rkent list of other critical issues
    • Outlook/Eudora import completely busted: bug 1175055.
      • I suggest that for the next dot release, if we cannot get the crash fixed, we should disable the menu item that promotes this. Does not block unthrottling since mostly affects new users.
      • Someone needs to add additional main thread proxies to the migration code.
    • bug 1174797 Add a cookie exception for GMail OAuth
      • Does not affect unthrottling since no effect unless someone tries to use OAuth. Lightning has an example of how to fix this, so should not be difficult.

My availability will be limited from June 20 – June 29. If there is going to be progress on fixing TB 38 releases in that time, someone else would have to drive it.

  • Previously there were issues getting TB 38 to build with current mozilla-esr38 (which resulted in THUNDERBIRD_38_0_20150603_RELBRANCH) and I suspect there may be some fixes needed to get the merge of mozilla-esr38 into THUNDERBIRD_38_VERBRANCH to work.

sshagarwal

  • At step one of the project: Setting up a dummy protocol to understand how a protocol

is added to TB using addon approach (using Skinkglue).

  • I have taken too much time to do this mostly due to health issues continuing for over a month now. Will pick up soon.

sshagarwal

Question Time

  • Jorg K: Release notes? I think more bugs should go on the list that we currently have. We will consider those with more than 3 votes 😉
  • rkent: Should we consider enabling maildir as default on trunk? Use ifdef to only compile on trunk.
    • I think maildir still too untested to set as default, even on trunk (JoeS1)
    • Can we wait with that until after getting feedback from testers of it on TB38? (aceman)
  • aceman: still no luck in getting Extra folder columns addon disabled (= limited compatibility to <=37.x) on AMO?
  • aceman: also somebody should at least comment on the “Send filter” addon on AMO that the feature is in base TB. It may conflict.
