Schedule

  • Next merge is 2012-07-16
  • Beta
    • Fx14 Beta 7 went live in the Market on 2012-06-15
    • Unless we have a need to respin, Beta 7 is RC

Major Topics for This Week

Fx14.01
Be aware that we will be doing a point release when Fx14 ships for desktop. We are using the release to get some fixes landed and to align with the desktop Gecko platform.
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 14.01 landings (things marked blocking-fennec:.N+). Once 14.0 is released to our release channel in the market, the beta channel will start shipping 14.01 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
