Action Items

Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases

Firefox 3.5.11 / Firefox 3.6.7

  • We have ~450k ADUs, which isn't growing (likely due to people moving to 4.0 betas, as we aren't throttled...bug 577784 checked)
  • Created 3.6.7 build #2 yesterday to fix bug 560037
  • Plan to release 3.6.7 build #2 to the beta audience late today or early tomorrow (depending on QA signoff)
  • Still planning to release on the 20th
  • Christian will be out next week, but available via cell and checking email

Firefox 4.0 Beta 2

    • Tabs on Top for OSX
    • App Tabs
    • Retained Layers
    • JS performance improvements
    • CSS Transitions and Transformations
  • developers feel like we shouldn't branch until after retained layers and e10s for fennec
  • seth, axel and beltzner to talk about l10n-strategy
    • would like to make next beta localized if possible, might not make it
  • lmesa will be responsible for updating the beta webpages
    • focus on tabs on top OSX, CSS transitions, retained layers, anything else?
