• Test Plan: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/BrowserID/TestPlan
• Beta Server: https://diresworb.org
• Beta Client: http://beta.myfavoritebeer.org

Deployment Ticket

• bug 678951 - QA and deploy BrowserID train-2011.08.12 to production

Resolved/Closed Issues

• massive zero-user-visibile refactoring of dialog javascript.
• [BrowserID issue 147] : fix cancel button in "waiting for verification state"
• [BrowserID issue 141] : all browserid source is now tri-licensed (MPL1.1/GPL/LGPL)
• [BrowserID issue 140] : fixes for mobile firefox (fennec)
• [BrowserID issue 71] : mysql support implemented for browserid (default persistence production)
• json persistence support added - a standalone dead simple persistence layer which is the default for local development and requires no external software.
• [BrowserID issue 91] : email secrets are now persisted in the database, so upon server restart outstanding verification links are no longer invalidated
• (website) styling changes - like fix issues where links on dev page were being displayed white on white.

Opened Bugs/Issues

• None for this train

Notes

• This train was actually merged with the 8/18/2011 train due to lack of QA resources.
• Please see this link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Browser_Technologies/Services/Releases/BrowserID_08182011

• QA: Suggested areas of focus for QA:
  • Full regression testing given significant changes in dialog logic as well as port to a new persistence layer (mysql)
  • Explore mobile fixes (give a quick pass on iOS and Fennec)
  • Verify correct functioning of verification token persistence: cause verification email to be sent, restart server (killall node on beta server), confirm that you can then verify email and complete add email flow.
  • confirm fix for issue #147

• RELEASE ENGINEERING: Steps for updating production from rain-2011.08.04 to train-2011.08.12:
  • 1. install mysql 5.1
  • 2. Add a user to the database:
    • 1. `CREATE USER 'browserid'@'localhost';`
    • 2. `CREATE DATABASE browserid`
    • 3. `GRANT INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE,CREATE on browserid.* to 'browserid'@'localhost'`
    • 4. `FLUSH PRIVILEGES;`
  • 3. stop the servers (preventing people from using browserid)
  • 4. migrate the database using `scripts/migrate_sqlite_to_mysql.js` (putting the script in the same directory as `authdb.sqlite`
  • 5. push updated code and restart the servers.
