== SDK == | |||
* shipped 1.2 last Tuesday | |||
* then shipped 1.2.1 last Wednesday | |||
* 1.2.1 was hotfix release for incorrect Firefox minVersion (was 7; has to be 7.0) | |||
* hotfix release looks solid | |||
* merged to stabilization for 1.3 last Tuesday | |||
* if you fix a bug that should ship in the next release, ping drivers | |||
* gozala and warner working on big linker changes | |||
* should land in a couple days, might cause regressions | |||
* low-level stuff changing, not sure about user-facing stuff | |||
* would be good to test on FlightDeck in advance | |||
== FlightDeck == | |||
* good progress on Q4 goals | |||
* frontend templates being converted from Django to Jinja | |||
* integrating Shipyard JavaScript MVC framework into editor page | |||
* built RESTful API for frontend to communicate with backend | |||
* making progress on search functionality | |||
* testing repacks from 1.1 to 1.2 | |||
* so far no negative feedback from folks using SDK 1.2.1 release on Builder | |||
== SDK compatibility with Firefox versions == | |||
* set minVersion to 9.0a1 on development (master) branch last week | |||
* that broke Apps team doing continuous integration with SDK and all Firefox branches | |||
* also broke other developers who track SDK development closely | |||
* considering setting minVersion back to most recent stable Firefox release (7.0.1) | |||
* this adds responsibility to maintain such compatibility | |||
* and might mean more work to keep code compatible, although it shouldn't be too bad | |||
* don't yet have integration, continuous or otherwise, with all Firefox branches | |||
* but do have plans to stand that up | |||
* and addon audience not necessarily running latest version of firefox | |||
* and its ok to test manually in the meantime and rely on addon developers telling us about problems they find | |||
* general assent to set minVersion to most recent stable Firefox release | |||
* -> myk to do so | |||
== Mobile Work Week == | |||
* dcm and zer0 at mobile work week last week | |||
* this week mobile team is working on traditional tools for building addons | |||
* outcome will be wiki page documenting implemented functionality | |||
* they want to get one or two of most popular addons, f.e. AdBlock Plus | |||
* once we know options, particularly UI, we can start working on support for it | |||
* in the meantime, we should focus on content support (i.e. page mods) | |||
== AMO Reviews == | |||
* fligtar invited Jetpack contributors to review SDK-based addons | |||
* seems like a good idea | |||
* AMO team has plan to fast-track SDK-based addons that don't require("chrome") | |||
* go to [[AMO:Editors]] and ping jorgev and/or dcm for more | |||
== Landing New Loader == | |||
* question about how easy it is to back it out | |||
* question about whether or not to rebase history | |||
* two branches, 30-40 commits | |||
* rewriting history means if there's an issue with the patch, and it needs to be backed out, it's much harder to find the regression | |||
* for l10n support, it would be better to do this sooner than later | |||
* ochameau's XPI simplification patch only depends on brian's branch with no runtime search | |||
* plan is to merge it into a single branch, then "flatten it out" (?) and merge that branch into dev | |||
* -> warner, gozala, and ochameau to get together after meeting and work out a schedule | |||
== bugzilla github service hooks [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla-labs-jetpack/o979ufvR7Nk mailing list] == | |||
* github has pretty smart service hooks for bugzilla | |||
* like closing a bug when you commit a change for it with certain text in comment | |||
* requires a bugzilla user account | |||
* we should experiment with it | |||
* -> warner to do so | |||
== Super Ghetto Sidebar Module! [http://paste.mootools.net/f70aca3e8] == | |||
* clones sidebar elements that already exist | |||
* you provide it with content, it loads it into a sidebar | |||
* -> dbuc to look into converting it into a patch that can land in core | |||
* widget is the best example for how to implement this | |||
