Security

Security Reviews

Still outstanding / to be scheduled

• native JSON
• DNS prefetching

Booked but not yet completed

• localStorage (today)

Tree Management

• Crash stacks for tests:
  • Needs to happen on try server still bug 483111
• Run unit tests on packaged builds bug 421611, bug 383136
  • Build config bits are done
• Started pulling together results from the Rando-Orange effort last night. It's going to be prettier but a preview is here: User:Ctalbert:Rando-Orange
  • Should I start filing bugs for items without bugs (I tend to think no)
  • Should I start adding the [orange] whiteboard flag to existing bugs that I encountered and that were encountered on tinderbox, but don't happen to have the flag? (I tend to think yes).

Roundtable

• Consider localStorage feature land on 1.9.1, bug 422526
  • on trunk since March 19th
  • security review coming today
  • see dev.planning thread on the topic
• Nick Nethercote will be doing a Valgrind brown bag presentation today
• Platform planning is ongoing. If there are items that you'd like to work on and want to communicate, please make sure to coordinate with the module owners and leads. Also, watch for dev.planning threads (such as this one ) as dev.planning is where features/work items will be discussed.
• XULRunner nightlies for 1.9.1 and/or mozilla-central? bug 445191
  • Needed for binary extension development
  • Can we get an eta?
• Planning worksheets thoughts (bsmedberg):
  • Some big-ticket items: XBL2, compositor, OOP plugins
  • But not process-per-tab...
  • How far out is 1.9.2? The planning worksheets make it hard to know when any particular item might be done.
  • Other than frameGC/refcounting and XBL2, is there other large/architectural work that should be focused on? Additional wrapper/xpconnect sanity?
• Tryserver overload every afternoon: is there a plan to get more slaves (especially Windows) and/or combine the slave pool with the main tree?
