Browser Technologies (Tony)

  • Issues
    • Share, Identity, and Firefox Home 2.0 development has been somewhat put on hold. Dependencies on security model of server-side implementation needs to be revisited, which is blocking further development on the current path. Each project needs to be revisited in the spec to proceed.
  • Fennec (aakash)
    • Untested device survey for firefox compatibility is in final edit ready to publish shortly (Aaron)
    • Fx5: re-verified bugs on aurora and waverley has been running smoketests/bfts; expecting to move to beta on 18th/19th

    • Automation (martijn)
      • Integrated grafxbot reftests extension into test harness extension
  • Sync (Tracy)
    • It's taking everyone a little getting used to, but the weekly train model for client and server pushes is working out well. Improved predictability of schedule and workload has helped everyone. Test plan is here

    • jono is working on the last fixes for 1.2. I'll be testing that once he's finished and spins up a build.
  • Identity (tracy)
    • Reviewed the project and mock-ups with Dan Mills. Test plan forthcoming once the project passes security review and the spec is finalized.

  • Broken Mozmill tests for add-ons due to the broken certificate on allizom

Mozmill

  • Due to a change in Nightly we are blocked on investigating existent test failures because Mozmill doesn't show any error information (bug 650646)
  • Mozmill 2 has been pushed out even more due to resource constraints
