Development Updates

Fx/TB 1.5.0.10 + Fx 2.0.0.2

Major Update

• QA found a bug in update history that required a fix on the client side, so we could decided to fix it in 1.5.0.10 and push the major update out after the 1.5.0.10/2.0.0.2 releases.
• Target release date depends on 1.5.0.10/2.0.0.2, but the plan is to do it 1-2 weeks after.

1.5.0.10/2.0.0.2 Release

• Code freeze was scheduled for today 1/29, but we still have 3 critical blockers that we need fixed (target: 1/31 - 2/1)
• Vista changes are scheduled to land on Trunk today, and after some bake time and QA testing, we plan to land them on the branch later this week (target: 1/31 - 2/1)
• If all goes well, we should have RC builds later this week (target: 2/1 - 2/2)
• Tentative release date TBD (depends on how soon the remaining blockers land and on QA testing)... but if all goes well, we might be able to hit 2/15.

TB 2.0

• Thunderbird 2 Beta 2 was released last Wednesday!
• Over 100,000 folks are using beta 2 since the release
• Many thanks to Rob, Marcia, Tomcat, mcow, Tim, Tony, Bob and the rest of the QA team for their help.
• Final looks on track for an early March release. Will sync up with build and QA again to figure out available release windows.

• Tools and Infrastructure
  • We had a planning meeting in Toronto last week to discuss plans for the buildbot test infrastructure, for reporting results, for automating such things as the JS test suite and the Security regression tests. A couple of students from Seneca College joined us to talk about a litmus testing extension and how Test Days go from the community perspective. This was very insightful.
