  • We released Firefox 7!
  • We did the source migration!
    • Nightly users have fun with your version sniffing bugs...
    • Check the announcements for the particular changeset aurora9 is based on
  • We have a new release manager! Say hi to Alex Keybl, based in MV

Firefox Development

  • Dao has fixed one of the more annoying copy/paste issues with the URL bar protocol-stripping behaviour (URLs selected from the awesomebar should not have the prefix added correctly) (bug 668019)
  • (not really firefox front-end, but…) Gian-Carlo Pascutto is making very good progress on switching the safebrowsing store from SQLite to a flat file, to make it more suitable for mobile devices (bug 673470)

GFX

  • The graphics team is planning on having a BugKill day, in which we endeavour to scrub our enormous bug list down to a significantly smaller set that people can keep in their heads.
    • If people are interested in scrubbing our old bugs, please contact Joe Drew so you can be included in the divvying-up of bugs.
    • We think it's likely to take the whole day, so don't plan on getting a lot of other work done on that day if you're involved.

Automation

  • bug 688762 - fix return codes for remote harnesses, this should reduce hanging tegras
  • bug 687974 - adb support for talos
  • bug 688604 - make talos-remote, coming soon!

Mobile Perf Program

  • Can Joel or Clint talk to: bug 685632 - Please collect RSS (memory) data during Talos testing on Android
  • Also digging into helping Joel prioritize & drive which automated tests need to be fixed and helping with getting the hw lab scalable.
  • The focus this week is to create a perf metrics matrix so we can obtain baseline measurements. This is a grassroots effort so that we can create a snapshot of the areas we need to focus on optimizing on mozilla-central in time for the mobile work week. We are focusing on "Macro" or observed measurements and will likely use a 7D/HDMI camera to capture screens
  • Still need to land on what the spectrum of reference HW; targeting by the end of the week
  • A draft of the matrix which will be ready for circulation tomorrow (wed).
