Topics for This Week

Tablet UI

The new Tablet UI is enabled by default. Lucas made a small tweak to silence a Talos checkerboarding test. Lucas and William looked into using eideticker to verify if the Talos failure, but eideticker currently is phone-only. We might just do some manual subjective testing before reverting Lucas' tweak.

Video and Lollipop

Snorp has uplifted a set of patches to Fx34 that should enable video and MP4 audio support on Lollipop. MP3 audio is still broken.

TL;DR - I've been mostly working on the iOS project.

• I have finished the first iteration of the Share UI (screenshot) which I hope to land this week.
• Currently focussing on getting the final UI changes in for the Send To extension, making it up to date with the latest UI designs. (Includes minor style/flow changes and a new Toast-like UI element). Should land this week.
• For both Share To and Send To I have only implemented the UI part. Will start a discussion about how to integrate it properly in the Account/AccountManager code that we already have.
