Attendees

  • clokep (only kind of here), jcranmer, mconley, mkmelin, Paenglab, wsmwk, sshagarwal, rolandtanglao

Action items from last meetings

  • [mconley] Where are our beta builds for 29? Those are very much missing still.
    • These builds are going out now. \o/

Friends of the tree

  • [mconley] I'm calling out sshagarwal, because of excellent activity on Bugzilla that I've noticed recently

Critical Issues

  • Google and OAuth 2.0?
    • Can someone participating in that thread boil it down and tell us if GMail is going to stop working in TB soon?
    • Brief summary: the original post doesn't make it clear what GMail will do. It just says "extra measures". Implied intent is to encourage people to use OAuth 2.0 instead of "normal" authentication.
    • A long three-way debate between BenB, jcranmer, and asuth about the merits and issues with OAuth2, SASL, 2-factor-authentication, etc.
    • During the second half of 2014, they are going to up the security checks for logging into GMail.

Upcoming

  • 24.5 went out today!

Round Table

jcranmer

  • xpcshell tests now run in parallel!
  • We're now using a newer charset menu in our displays, as of yesterday's nightly.
    • This is going to (hopefully) slowly kill off lesser charsets like x-mac-croatian
    • (Random note: it's kind of a personal mission of mine to kill x-mac-croatian)
    • There are several more places in the UI where we list charsets (mostly fallback in folder/nntp server) using old, bad stuff--that will probably die relatively soon
  • JSMime (in the header parser/2047 converter) just missed ESR 31, hoping to still land it on Aurora once Standard8 r+'s
  • c-c/m-c merge comments
    • There's a private conversation that went on among top-level module owners
    • Taras is working on replacing buildbot with taskcluster (http://lightsofapollo.github.io/mozilla,%20ci/2014/03/04/taskcluster/ ), expected to be complete in Q2-Q3 timeframe
    • Nothing will happen until then
    • Taras indicated support (on behalf of releng) for a merger at that time, but it's unclear if this has consensus or not.
  • Discussions about using Promises and WebIDL in comm-central on mdat. Feedback appreciated!
  • dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central hg blame links actually work now \o/

mconley

  • Lots of reviews over the last weekend for the 31 c-c -> c-a uplift. Great stuff from mkmelin, JosiahOne, Paenglab, and aceman.
  • Big thank you goes out to JosiahOne for helping me get through my review queue.

Paenglab

  • Bug 953204 – Use the Fx Australis titlebar styling and bug 984978 – Adjust TB's theme for Windows 8 and up landed in time for TB 31. Thanks to Josiah and Mike for their review effort during the last weekend.
  • I'm now on small follow-ups which I hope can also land on TB 31.
