Schedule Update

Current releases dashboard: https://mozilla.github.io/delivery-dashboard

• Desktop 65.0 still at 0% due to Avast (and AVG?) SSL MITM cert errors
  • Working with Romain and QA to better understand the issue and decide on what options we have
  • We could maybe unthrottle Linux & macOS - worth the complexity? shouldn't be hard, gives us crash data, so it's good
  • Hotfix for websockets issue has been deployed and patch for underlying bug is on autoland (Beta & Release approval requested)
• Fennec 65.0 probably going to 99% today, no known blockers
• Will also release 65.0 in the Snap store
• Leaning towards a dot release early next week for at least bug 1523427 and maybe also the Avast issue if we can work around on our end

• 66.0b3 live @ 50%
• 66.0b4 gtb today for Desktop/DevEdition
