Thunderbird Development

Feature Work

Account Provisioner:

• We're still waiting on legal stuff, and are using the time to polish.

Pluggable Mail Stores:

• Merged with trunk, fixed some test failures in Berkeley store, 3 left to fix
  • Test to fix not to hard up to now, but busy with other point
  • should be dogfoodable by 3.3

Experiments

• Up next: Thunderbird Conversations (formerly Gmail Conversation View). Currently ironing things out with clarkbw and andychung before cutting a 2.0 release. [protz]
• Updates for Mailing List Manager, Contacts on deck.
• Sync Add-on further out.

Trunk Development

• Set up new wiki page listing our various branches.
• New blocking and status flags set up for 3.3x. Bug tracking page also set up.
• Trunk Alphas will be code-named Miramar, based on previous discussion on tb-planning. Nightlies will adopt the name once we branch.

Mac builds

• Mac builds now swapped to 32/64 bit universal builds, dropping the ppc architecture.
• Builds seem to be fine, though updates not published at the time of writing.
• See post on tb-planning for known issues and further information.

Miramar Alpha 1

• Release what we have on trunk
  • Backend improvements
  • Add-on Manager and extension changes
  • Linux 64 bit and Mac 32/64 bit builds.
• Current blockers
• Expecting to start release process this week.

Post Alpha 1

• Aiming for frequent alphas, specifically to pick up fixes / features.
• Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.
• blocking criteria :
  • Alpha 1 -> Serious usability issues.
  • After -> not real criteria, regression/usability issues as usual.

3.2

• Decision on if/when we'll do 3.2 on hold until we progress account provisioning further.
