Releases
- Firebug 1.13 alpha 5
- Honza: Should be released on Friday
- Fixed issues
- No new features, just an update
Firebug Lite
- Gal Steinitz doesn't have time anymore for FB Lite
- Honza: there is a pull request, ask the guy if he wants to join/merge/release new version
- Answer questions and triage bug reports, tell the users that resources are missing but encourage them to provide patches
Platform
- Bug 815603: JSD.pause and unPause is slow
- We need the workaround to avoid pause/unPause until it's fixed on the platform
- We need to discuss in the Bugzilla bug
- We can improve the warning (keep it there all the time, remove "Got It" button)
- Simon's response: I don't think we should back it out, either. Better improve our warnings etc.
Right, and make the log row slightly smaller.
We do have a real problem in that disabling Firebug in every tab still doesn't disable the debugger; we have to fix that. It might actually even make sense to disable the debugger when minimizing Firebug? Because I suspect some users minimize rather than disable Firebug when they don't use it. We should calljsd.off()
when Firebug is disabled in all tabs. IMO
Issues
- Issue 6923: Reimplement PixelPerfect in Firebug
- Simon: I'd like to see a single button in the HTML panel toolbar that toggles that floating window.
- Let's continue discussing about having the feature implemented as an extension or built in Firebug in the bug report.
- Issue 6898: Ask for an API to extend the hooked console Object
- Florent's waiting for feedback
- No feedback from the rest of team so far
- Sebastian: will provide a feedback
- Issue 6934: A red circle should appear when checking "Break on Property Change" in the watch panel
- Breakpoint column in the Watch panel: rather no (at least no at this point)
-
Object.watch()
is obsolete already (bug 934669)
JSD2
- We need more testing
- Florent did a great job with testing, we need more!
- Before we do an alpha release from
jsd2
branch we need all tests green. - We also need to adopt test harness.
- Sebastian: test Firebug 1.12.3 + Firefox try-build and provide feedback to Boris.
- Try build link
Crossfire
- Michael Rennie has less time for maintenance
- FWG will replace it by RDP
Blogging
- Sebastian still working on his blog
- We need some topics to blog about.
- Sebastian will kick off a email thread with Sören to put together a plan for posts about Firebug.
