• Update on tier 2 jobs? Is there a place we can look to see a list of all the tests we run? (And how to make sure checkins won't fail before pushing?)
  • Checkstyle & lint run automatically when you change Java files, unit tests will move to that system soon (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1260874)

Contributions

Builds & Releases

• Third 4.0 TestFlight build is out. Please join the FIrefox Beta at http://bit.ly/1MxpjiC - These are 'when things change'
• First L10N Build available at http://people.mozilla.org/iosbuilds/l10n.html (required LDAP) - These are daily.

Development Updates / Work in Progress

• [jhugman] Today Widget landed and demoed. There are bugs, please install it in your today|notification shade and use it.
• [jhugman] Home page started. Fairly straight forward, though "should autocomplete, just like the autoawesome bar" is easier to type than it is to refactor the awesomebar (all the work is in the Settings page!)
• [fluffyemily] Menu so very close to landing...
• [farhan] Third Party search development has started
• [bnicholson] Security fixes
• [bnicholson] Core ping started
