SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.
    • KaiRo emailed Google again more than 8 weeks ago and again 5 weeks ago, no reply yet, even though the MoCo geolocation contact has poked the Google contact as well.
    • KaiRo will try to get this process restarted.
  • Ratty has drafted out some messages to encourage extension authors to make their extensions compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0. Once the text is agreed on, we can let AMO disseminate them for us. The messages should target two groups:
    • Existing SeaMonkey extensions that haven't been upgraded to 2.0.
    • Firefox and Thunderbird extension authors encouraging them to make their extensions compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0.
    • AMO bug 527919 is tracking this issue. AMO is amenable to mailing existing SeaMonkey extension authors but thinks the second category falls under marketing rather than compatibility upgrades,

CLOSED

  • KaiRo to add to the known issues page additional items from the SeaMonkey 2.0 Final/Feedback section from the previous meeting. Somebody needs to go through the items and sort out what needs to be added.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Feedback

Only unresolved items are tracked here - and we should find a way to deal with it for every item talked about in this section!

  • The new Password and Form Managers seem to be hard for people to grasp. There is an existing documentation bug, bug 463903 for form autocomplete.
  • Need for a form history editor to edit/delete incorrect entries. We can make use of an existing bug (bug 480734) to track a native Forms editor.
  • Need some sort of FAQ on the SeaMonkey site to cover issues such as a simple pointer to double-click / down arrow in form fields.
  • For some users cut&paste isn't working for some Windows 7 users. Specifically, nothing gets pasted (bug 525601.
    • This has been traced to the McAfee Site Advisor component of the McAfee Internet Security Suite. A regression range has been identified (2007110103/2007103102). This regression range corresponds to a similar cut and paste problem in Thunderbird 3.0a but not involving McAfee. Neil has looked at the changeset involved and has a tentative patch proposed.
    • The McAfee techs would like a developer from the SeaMonkey side to assist them in tracking down the problem. Do we have someone with the required skillset? Perhaps Neil.
  • Possible bug: MailNews reported as high CPU being caused by having news downloaded without bounds, i.e. no purging. This could explain some people reporting 2.0 is slow as well due to large email or news folders causing blocked main threads when getting messages. Allegedly bug 311774 introduced the slowness.

SeaMonkey 2.0.1

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (116)

  • Fixed bugs are actually 138 when including the not-yet-disclosed security issues.
  • New language in this release: Italian
  • Should be released TODAY in sync with Firefox 3.5.6, currently scheduled for December 15.
    • Even though the SeaMonkey-specific fixes are only some smaller ones, the improved mailnews maturity, and the core crash and security fixes are worth it for sure.
  • Blockers and nominations mostly were put off to 2.0.2.
  • Updates have been on the beta channel for a few days, no big problems reported.
  • Testday last week did not find any serious issues, though 10 bugs were reported by people on there.

SeaMonkey 2.0.2

open blockers (2) blocker requests (3) fixed (18)

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 60 new, 27 fixed, 67 triaged.

  • Back to resolving more bugs than we get reported.
  • We can do even more triaging, esp. when we start to look at trashing 1.x-only bugs as well (and see if any still happen on 2.x).

Any other business?

  • Bugzilla has 4xp as keyword for regressions from Netscape 4 to Mozilla Suite. Is a new keyword for parity bugs between SM1 and SM2 helpful? Hbbb 22:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
    • KaiRo doesn't think so as those keywords like 4xp mostly get ignored anyhow. And regressions should get the "regression" keyword anyway.
  • Testday last Friday was a good success, and we should treat the bugs in SmTestday with some special attention, as we should show especially new SeaMonkey bug reporters there that we are appreciate them trying to help on testday.
  • We slowly but surely need to think about 2.1 planning with regards to alignment with Mozilla platform plans. not much to be decided right now though, as there seems to be some new development in 1.9.3 plans, see Firefox/Roadmap which is not official yet.
  • Our next meeting shall be in 4 weeks time on 12 January 2009. In the mean time we will keep in touch informally on IRC.
