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

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 inputdone, 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)

Website Compatibility
(Two-pronged approach)
- Chrome Beta (Top 30) compare against Nightly - Updated (02/20)
- John Jensen is POC: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708406
- Evangelism Bugs
- Working with top sites to enable their HTML5 client versions working in Fennec
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
- Another communication will be necessary when Maple lands on Aurora 13
- We could consider inviting new members into MTD at that time
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Testdrivers_Program and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Testdrivers_Program/How_To/ would need some love in that case
- We could consider inviting new members into MTD at that time
