• Final sign-offs will occur tomorrow (details TBD)
• Our RC build will occur Thursday/Friday of this week

Performance

• This week's Snappy status
• More incremental GC fixes (bug 757483, bug 754588, bug 756732, bug 731423)
• Nick is getting closer to landing cache improvements (bug 722034)

Accessibility

• We are getting reports (e.g. bug 759236) from devs that our a11y engine is instantiated in FF mac trunk/nightly (since we turned on a11y support for the first time in trunk this round). It seems there are lots of tools that may require the user to turn on mac a11y support at the system level. We are monitoring the situation. This will mean we'll likely turn off a11y support for beta/release channels.
