ADU update

  • Aurora - 1,244 (-6%)
  • Nightly - 5,347 (+98%, some are from Ovi Store)
  • Beta - 25,585 (-2%)

Schedule

Q4

  • Dec 2011: Feature Complete

Q1

  • Jan 16 2012: String Freeze ==> Jan 30th (lock-step with cutover)
  • Jan 16 2012: First Run Walk-Through ==> needs to be reset; pending profile migration which is getting closer
  • Jan 30 2012: Beta Cutover & Beta Declare *==> merge happened but we are day-for day slip until we have maple landed in m-c*
  • Feb 27 2012: Public Announcement at Mobile World Congress
  • March 2012: Merge Maple to m-c as soon as possible after MWC; targeting for no later than March 16th

Q2

  • April/Early May 2012: Beta release
  • Late May 2012: Final Release Target ==> we are re-setting the schedule for gllayers and omtc and are working card to be as close to Q2 as possible* (Which means we might only be in Beta for 3 weeks, which is risky)

Other Top Issues and Their Status

OMTC

  • Kats' rewrite of viewport handling landed on maple on Monday, which should make fuzziness when loading pages go away, among many other bugs.
  • Kats merged maple to mozilla-central! All further work will be on mozilla-central.
  • We continue to work on checkerboarding and jankiness bugs. Expect things to be worse with OMTC on mozilla-central for a little while, with the upside being that they will be better in the long term.

Sync

[edited by rnewman 2012-03-14 to improve accuracy]

  • They are uplifted to Aurora: plan of record is to go to beta history and bookmarks; passwords & form-fill, tabs is highly at risk, need product input done, without product input.
    • [rnewman] tab sync from desktop to Fennec has landed and has Fennec UI. Done, not at all at risk. Bookmarks and history done, too.
    • [rnewman] no effort has been made since ~February to land anything on Aurora or Beta; we are operating under the assumption that m-c will be used to cut a Beta.
  • We need to get to the bottom of awesome bar performance after sync (mfinkle pulled off a 97% decrease in awesomebar startup time)
    • [rnewman] I doubt there's a Sync link here; I expect similar performance after profile migration, for example. If that's not the case, let me know.
  • Additional Data Types
    • Password content provider bug 704682, work started, final work based on crypto stuff, we'll converge soon
    • Forms (content provider is WIP, going through review, work starting on our end soon)

UX & UI

  • Related to beta/final
    • bug 728224 Create default bookmarks on local DB creation
    • bug 729532 Improve first-run import experience
  • For future versions
    • Updated Tablet UI
    • Enhancements to Phone UI
    • bug 696921 Create a reading mode for the phone browser

Website Compatibility

(Two-pronged approach)

MTD Update

  • Plan to send a communication to MTD when Aurora updates are re-enabled
    • Should we request feedback?
    • We'll want to include what's new in FF13 vs FF12 at this point, since MTDers have been on 12 without significant change for a while now
