SeaMonkey 2 Alpha 2
Bug Queries
open blockers all blockers blocker requests
- Freeze target is still 18th November 2008, can we make it? Do we have enough new stuff until then to warrant another alpha?
- bug 428216 (toolbarbutton iconsize/mode control) is down to the last few nits. Waiting for review and should be able to land before the 18th.
 - bug 255834 (port Thunderbird RSS/Atom reader) has r+/sr+ so should be able to land ASAP (later today hopefully).
 - bug 36810 (session restore) just needs some review TLC.
 - Vista integration (part of bug 453797).
 
 
Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning
Major wanted/needed features:
- bug 381157 Download manager.
- Some progress.
 
 - bug 390025 Kill-wallet (password manager).
- started work on the backend again (bug 433316).
- Got some code in place to try and obtain passwords from toolkit password manager before prompting. This fixed some of the unit tests when building with toolkit password manager.
 - Came across and fixed bug bug 461341 - when toolkit password manager migrates usernames it needs to unescape them.
 - Wallet password details haven't been kept up to date with username/hostname changes - discussions in bug 433316 on how to fix this.
 - bug 461029 POP protocol will now PR_LOG errors it also displays to the user.
 - Noticed than nsMsgMailNewsURL was the only use nsUrlListenerManager and that in turn was effectively an nsTObserverArray - replaced the appropriate code bug 461946.
 - Then noticed possible (small?) perf improvement and filed bug 461951.
 
 - Work has stalled a little in the second week (due to reviews), hoping to pick up again this week.
 
 - started work on the backend again (bug 433316).
 - bug 382187 Places history.
- still waiting for first round of review comments from Neil.
 
 - bug 36810 Session restore.
- waiting for review.
 - Patch for turning to error page also ready (bug 413385). Needs help with css/ui for error page patch.
 
 - bug 394288 / bug 413385 Toolbar customization.
- bug 428216 (toolbarbutton iconsize/mode control) is down to the last few nits. Waiting for review and should be able to land before the 18th.
 - Toolkit bug 407725 is still waiting for reviews from gavin.
 
 - bug 456757 Modern theme update
- No progress to date. Ratty will poke Kuden about this.
 
 - bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac
- status/progress?
 
 - bug 454847 Fishcam update
- KaiRo tried to get proposals from the blogosphere.
 - The original contributor of that easter egg (Lou Montulli) has commented, and he's in the process of setting up a new one at http://www.fishcam.com/, that might just be what we are looking for.
 
 - bug 410613 OpenSearch.
- No progress.
 - Kairo: Our search sidebar won't work with it, but I'm not sure if we need/want to keep that one.
 - Ratty: We can port the advanced search sidebar extension for Firefox worse comes to the worse.
 
 - bug 453797 SeaMonkey installer improvements.
- Patch is ready. mcsmurf will do some testing before submitting for review.
 
 - Handling bug 420506 (Thunderbird kill-rdf).
- bug 460952 Ensure Thunderbird kill-rdf doesn't break SeaMonkey.
- status/progress?

 - bug 313822 (Make Lightning work on SeaMonkey) (helpwanted).
- Hard dependency on bug 460960 (Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews). The current tabbed interface code is much better than previous iterations and we are going ahead with this.
 
 - bug 248970 Do we want to port private browsing?
- Ratty: This is more complicated for SeaMonkey since we also have a mail/news component, not to mention chatzilla, composer, etc.
 
 - bug 255834 (port Thunderbird RSS/Atom reader).
- Help still needs to be provided for RSS reader though bug 286975 (helpwanted) once bug 255834 has landed.
 - We need to hook up Feed preview bug 415372 at some point.

- Last weekend I played a bit with the 'obsolete strings finder' script used by TB guys recently. Rough estimation of what we can remove: -100 strings in /editor, -600 in /suite. This probably won't make SeaMonkey 2.0a2.
