Discussion Items

Project Status

• Fennec
  • Manual (aakash)
    • Code freeze next Tuesday. Still at 66 blockers
    • Waverley is going to work on performance testing across browsers and top site testing across locales. Test plan here. Results will be posted to a handy spreadsheet
  • Automation (martijn)
    • Subset of mochitests are being run on tinderbox: http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Mobile&noignore=1
    • Crashtests/reftests/xpcshell tests are already being run
    • Trying to get the Tegra board working.

• Sync (Tracy)
  • Been waiting for a few weeks for server 1.5 to be ready for testing. If all goes well, I should be able to sign off on it by eod today.
  • Sync.next (with jpake and simple crypto) will have to align with Fennec b3. A storage version bump will be required here, so we'll have to go through incompatibility issues again.
  • Discussion how is notification going to be communicated when the server is bumped? We also need to test it well

• FF Home (Tony)
  • FF 1.0.4 is approved and now in the App store
  • FF Home 1.1 is on scope to land Crypto and J-pake work. Test builds available.
  • All other bugs are bonus if landed

• Test pilot (tracy)
  • Certain versions of Suse crasher triggering about:memory in Week in the life study worked around by blacklisting Linux for that study. The underlying bug in about:memory is being worked on.

• Jetpack (ayan)
  • SDK 0.10 RC1 testing results here.
  • RC1 not released yet. The final release is planned to be a Beta quality release, so can be delayed a bit.
