Schedule

  • Next merge is 2012-07-16
  • Beta
    • Fx14 Beta 6 went live in the Market on 2012-06-08
    • Fx14 Beta 7 build was tagged/built on 2012-06-12 and planned to be in Market on 2012-06-13 (fast tracked for longer field test)

Major Topics for This Week

Fx14 Endgame
With Beta 7 looking to be our last "full week" beta, we tried to be mostly code frozen yesterday (Jun12) even though the official code freeze date is Friday (Jun15). We have 3 release blockers
Fx16 and Fx15 Uplifts
Product, Release, UX and Dev are working on the desired Fx15 feature set using the Roadmap as a base. Some features will be higher priority than others. Lower priority features with higher risks might not make the cut for uplift to Aurora (Fx15). The safest thing to do is ask for approval if you are working on a Roadmap feature and the drivers will handle making the decision.
Friends of Mobile
Shout out to xmixahlx for keeping the Firefox on Android ARMv6 builds going. Read more about the ongoing work and feedback from users here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643785 (14 pages)
Beta branch mechanics
Beta 7 will be the first release off our 14.0 release branch, which means that default mozilla-beta will be open to 14.1 landings (things marked blocking-fennec:.N+). Once 14.0 is released to our release channel in the market, the beta channel will start shipping 14.1 builds from the default mozilla-beta branch. This also means that as of now, anything landing for 14.0 will need to double land on the mozilla-beta default branch and the mozilla-beta MOBILE140_2012061216_RELBRANCH branch

SUMO

(Just read the wiki today please) We had a restart of the meetup last week and put together some great ideas for a release party in July--we should have a celebration in every MozSpace next month :)

Beta is a 4-star product in Google Play, with Beta6 getting 43 five-star written reviews.

Themes: "Chrome beta what? I'm a huge firefox fan but this used to suck but now it's faster than chrome on my gfs gnex. Good work mozilla"

"Onex On x One works fine, actually better than the Chrome beta"

"Ausumm Ausum made my work so much easier"

"Anything to do with computers gets me hot but this is a whole new level of computer pleasure"

"Superb I'm very satisfied. downloading is very stable even in low connection."

"Excellent If you use Firefox on your PC this is the browser for you. I love the way it Syncs tabs and book marks with my pc. I like the navigation and appearance too."

Low reviews themes: text selection & copy/paste; google search looks old

A couple of questions on SUMO about blocked tablets (we improved documentation to fix): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions?tagged=mobile

We also updated documentation to address the prerequisite uninstallation of sync'ed aurora/beta/nightly before syncing the final release version.

User requests: import bookmarks from another mobile browser

Next week: need to finalize supported devices list, how to change change language article, and make final clarifications in the tablet getting started article.
