Minutes
Flightdeck
- release goes out tomorrow, fixes something with AMO ids (when someone changes their email on AMO side)
- gearing up for 1.0
- want feedback on the Add-On Builder Helper addon
SDK
- 1.4 happens this afternoon
- probably 3pm PST
- KWierso takes over as RM after 1.4 goes out
- 1.4 changes XPI paths, some addons have hard-coded paths which will break
- we'll consider emailing developers if it looks like many are broken
- pulling out the change would be too hairy, not what we want in the long term
- we aren't repacking, so it'll hit when people upgrade the SDK and start building their addons with 1.4
- more likely to do repacks on 1.5
- gabor mentioned prefs bugs (716521) that should go into release notes, but it's too late to get it into the 1.4 docs. dcm is cc'ed.
Roundtable
- api-utils freezing (alexp):
- we traditionally consider api-utils/* as internal, so we can change them whenever we want
- openwebapps folks were surprised when we removed url.toFilename and unpack=false
- we need to decide which to freeze, maybe move some out of api-utils/
- maybe add a tool (in cfx, or external) which looks at your addon and tells you which non-public modules are being used by user code, as a warning
- should review docs, see how loud the "this is internal" warning is
- talk to OWA folks and see which APIs they use, which they care about most
- they're kind of power-users, are running from trunk (not latest release)
- talos testing, Jeff Hammel, doing performance testing on addons
- will sit down with mossop+brian to get started
- jorge (villalobos) would also be a good resource
