Thunderbird Development

Feature Work

Account Provisioner:

  • Minor delays due to legal issues & sickness

Pluggable Mail Stores:

  • Updates for Mailing List Manager, Contacts on deck.
  • Sync Add-on further out.

3.2

  • Waiting for account provisioning discussions to progress and FF 4 status before making decision on if/when we'll do a 3.2 branch release.
    • If we do include account provisioning in a release before one from trunk, then 3.2 will likely be a branch from comm-1.9.2.

  • Looking at building with omnijar (bug 601573) and places (bug 608981

    • Two more patches to go (one to land) before we can consider enabling.
  • Help on fixing up trunk welcome, see this list of higher priority bugs.

Thunderbird Stability & Security Releases

Major updates to 3.1
  • Now have over 70% of ADUs on 3.1.x.
  • Working on getting Thunderbird 2 updates fully unthrottled (they had been on a 1 in 4 pings would get an offer).

QA Updates

  • chemspill release
  • Lagging in preparing dupme workshop

Marketing Updates

Infrastructure Update

Returned from vacation, processing e-mail slowly.

Build / Release Update

  • Investigating what it would take to do release builds across more than one branch in parallel
  • Planning a release engineering meeting to talk about build signing automation and security, how to make build automation more testable, and how to improve build turnaround time and robustness.

Web Update
