''' Firefox 4 Beta 7'''
''' Firefox 4 Beta 7'''
* GC Compartments is estimated to be on mozilla-central by early next week, will require bake time
* some small cosmetic changes around progress indicator also remaining
* update issues from 32->64 bit were resolved last week
* see [[#Roundtable|roundtable]] for discussion of onward plans


'''Firefox 3.6.11'''
'''Firefox 3.6.11'''
* Released to beta yesterday, throttled so only 15% of beta users see it
* We will be increasing the throttling over the week
* Email release-drivers if there is a regression found


'''Firefox 3.5.14'''
'''Firefox 3.5.14'''
* Releasing to beta today, throttled so only 15% of beta users see it

* OpenGL composited layers turned on by default on OS X.
 
** Couple of regressions we know about:
= Layout =
*** Some QuickDraw plugins don't draw. {{bug|583499}} This means Quicktime on 10.5. 10.6 is pretty much unaffected because most 10.6 machines will run Firefox in 64-bit mode, and we don't support QuickDraw in 64-bit mode.
*** Subpixel AA doesn't work on certain pages - {{bug|582223}}.
* We need to install resistor dongles on all our Snow Leopard boxes. {{bug|600899}}
** Otherwise, when we ask CGL for an accelerated pixel format, it returns NULL.


= Tree Management =
= Tree Management =
* yesterdays downtime went fine
** landed bunch of changes into production: details in {{bug|593081}}
** moved another 86 machines to new colo during yesterday morning downtime, now >50% of machines in new colo.
* {{bug|595237}} removed unneeded D2D, D3D and OpenGL test suites as these are tested through the original set of test suites since their pref are enabled by default
** this will improve wait times on the test pool


= Roundtable =
= Roundtable =
* [Beltzner] Potential strategies for Beta 7
** Proposal A: Continue to Wait
*** disable failing tests and merge GC Compartments to TM and m-c today or tomorrow, block on re-enabling failing tests
*** gets us 40,000 nightly testers earlier, but scope of outstanding changes may negate that testing
*** builds would not be until next Wednesday or Thursday
*** would likely want to tag & branch for beta7 so tree could re-open
*** Note: no nightlies on the beta7 RELBRANCH - only nightly testing would be on m-c
** Proposal B: Ship B7 Without GC Compartments
*** not sure how tied to JM correctness the work is
**** Firebug and some other extensions would break, so we'd have to push out "extension-targeting freeze".
*** would it invalidate feature/API freeze?
*** could move to builds as early as this Wednesday
*** means that GC Compartments lands with the other backlog of changes
* [Tomcat|away during the meeting] Help testing OpenGL on Mac Trunk Nightly's and give us feedback
** [http://blog.mozilla.com/tomcat/2010/10/04/help-testing-opengl-on-trunk-nighty-builds/ Tomcat's blog post on the topic]
** also sign up to the [https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/nightly-testers nightly testers list]
* (bsmedberg) Java signature dialog kicks in the hang detector - {{bug|555699}} - We currently can't fix this because the Java dialog occurs in yet another process. The options are
*# ignore the problem, probably screw some corporate environments
*# blacklist Java so it always runs in-process (stability and potential exploit surfaces get worse)
*# wait for Oracle to respond
