Stability Report

Socorro

• Correlation reports for Aurora and Trunk are available in subdirectories of https://crash-analysis.mozilla.com/crash_analysis/ starting with today as bug 723182 is fixed now (for some reason Socorro isn't picking them up correctly, but this whole mechanism is a bit wonky and will be replaced with a better model in the next months anyhow). Will work on getting the version for the next Firefox cycle there near to the source uplifts.
• Next incremental Socorro release landing on Wednesday - no big changes, a couple of skiplist additions, fix for bug 724670 which unbreaks report lists for some Java signatures.
• Stackwalking fix for MSVC2010 (and possibly browser-side hang signatures on FF11+) could also land with this release on Wednesday, see bug 726570.
• Main focus of work for next release is ESR support.
