== Agenda ==

* Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:

=== Action Items ===

*** '''ewong''' is requesting a mac mini on macstadium in {{bug|1414114}}. MoCo will provide it initially free of charge.

** '''ewong''' has created a jumphost on aws and is working on the master.

** Thunderbird is moving to taskcluster. At the current stage not possible to say if we can benefit from this in the future. The taskcluster setup is complicated.

* '''ewong''' is trying to include rust dynamically. Mozilla no longer provides rust tooltool packages and a bug needs to be opened for every new version now.

* —

'''CLOSED'''

** All trees:

** [comm-central]:

*** Do not expect to use the 2.57 release yet other than for brief testing. It is fundamentally broken by Mozilla source and api removals.

*** Sidebar and Mail/News are broken because of XUL template removals. See {{bug|464710}}.

*** See {{bug|1433370}} for current 2.57 breakages.

** [comm-beta]:

*** Linux*: Orange {{bug|1415803}}

<!-- uncomment if new new stuff comes up

==== Fixed Stuff Since Last Meeting ====

* &mdash;

-->

* The next release will be 2.49.2 build from the ESR branch. The release is tracked in {{Bug|1420707}} (basically ready to go).

** A meta bug for gtk3 compatibility has been created for 2.49.1 and up {{bug|1367257}}.

** The trunk version has been set and tinderbox builds are already available.

*** {{Bug|1412639}} Image from eml file not shown in Composer will be included but depends on {{Bug|1332705}} "Edit Message as new' does not work for message from file.eml" which will not be fixed for this release.  

*** {{Bug|1406049}} is not yet fixed but has a limited audience.

*** {{Bug|1385667}} and {{Bug|1394149}} fix build issues with gcc 7. We will evaluate if we can backport them to the TB branch in mozilla-esr52.

** The 2.49.x releases use branches in hg.

*** [https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr52/shortlog/SEAMONKEY_2_49_ESR_RELBRANCH SEAMONKEY_2_49_ESR_RELBRANCH] has been created in comm-esr52.

** '''frg''' marked some bugs as 2.53 "affected" instead of "wontfix" in case we do a release from this branch later.

** '''frg''' maintains a local 2.53 with backported comm-central and mozilla-central fixes in case we want to do a 2.53. If this can be maintained till 52.9 will be seen. It might be possible to use Security fixes from Waterfox 56 for this too.

* Discussions if we should match minor version numbers with Firefox are still underway. This would need a coordinated change for either c-c or all trees. All minor versions would be changed and the versions would need to be made available in bugzilla. Lightning version calculation needs to be changed. This will be done at a later date and not for 2.49 ESR.

** DOMi will no longer work in any Fx58+ version.

** The addon-SDK has been removed.

* WebExtensions support is tracked in {{Bug|1320556}}. As of now working on this has not started.

* Evaluation if some extension functionality should be incorporated will need to be done later.

** Candidates among others are ChatZilla, Lightning, SeaTab X2 and Version Number.

* Mozilla plans to move the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey add-ons to a new site this year. At the current point in time wo don't have any information about it.

==== 2.Next ====

* OSX cross-compiling

** It is not sure if the cross-compile can create universal OSX 2.49.1 builds needed for plugin suppprt but this will only become urgent if the last Mac Mini dies.

** Building with the 10.11 SDK currently causes problems in Firefox and macOS 10.13. This is tracked in {{bug|1391790}}.

* We need someone to work on porting sync 1.5 over to replace legacy sync code. '''Frg was distracted by other bugs and tasks and didn't look into it yet'''.<br />See: [http://blog.swarnava.in/2014/02/new-firefox-sync-has-landed-in-firefox.html New Firefox Sync has landed in Firefox Nightly]. Tracked in:

*** Pro: We control our own sync server and are not left at the mercies of Mozilla the next time they change their sync system.

*** Con: Can't sync with Firefox (unless someone writes a Sync 1.1 client for Firefox).

* '''frg''' suggests doing an about:credits page for SeaMonkey contributors. This should link to a new list of people on the SeaMonkey project page.

<!--Please update if necessary-->

* Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:

** A lot of these bugs are due to mozilla-central switching from synchronous APIs to Asynchronous APIs.

* [adriank] would like to drop DOMi or at least not bundling it with release builds in {{Bug|1273222}}. Open for discussion.

* [rsx11m] did open bug {{bug|1305902}} for certificate pinning. Discussion if it should be enabled for SeaMonkey is still underway. '''Callek''' commented in the bug.

=== Feature List, Planning ===

* higher triaging effort, average number of new bugs filed.

* There are reports that the PayPal donation on the website doesn't work for USD. It seems the amount is converted to Euro (probably correct if it is a German account).

* Images should be vectorized and be svg if possible for future updates and HiDPI compatibility.

* {{Bug|1414390}} needs to be ported. intl.locale.requested locale list needs to replace general.useragent.locale. Thunderbird did this in {{Bug|1423532}}.
