Development Updates
Fx/TB 1.5.0.10 + Fx 2.0.0.2
Dev.:
- Nominations deadline was last Friday, 1/5
- Code Freeze scheduled for Thursday, 1/18
- Still have about 60 bugs that need patches, so we need to make sure to get some traction on those or they will be at risk for missing the release.
- Already have over 100 bugs fixed.
- Need to check bug lists to make sure we are in good shape with the Vista bugs we hope to fix in this release.
- Tentative release date set for Thursday, 2/1 (following the release of MS Vista)
QA:
- Started bug verifications last week
- Will be focusing a lot of testing around Vista bug fixes
- Adding extra checks to build automation/verification to catch a few issues discovered with past couple of releases (bouncer checks, permissions verification, etc)
TB 2.0
Gecko 1.9

IT
Build
- CVS CLOBBER File support is finally available; it allows developers to clobber tinderbox builds. See CLOBBER file instructions for details
- We're working with IT to get tier 1 Tinderboxen into the on-call support infrastructure; we'll have more details on this shortly.
- As part of the stage migration, which is ongoing, we'll be getting every project its own ssh keys to upload builds to stage; we'll coordinate with everyone so there are minimal outages, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
- Couple of process changes for 1.5.0.10/2.0.0.1
- As of Firefox 2.0.0.1, we signed all .exes and .dlls (with a couple of exceptions); this was not done for 1.5.0.9. We'll be doing this for 1.5.0.10 and continue to do it in 2.0.0.2 and future releases.
- We will start doing version bumps on the _MINIBRANCH, so nightlies will always have a "pre" extension to the version number, and release candidates will always have actual version numbers
