Release Train

• 2.10b3 shipped June 1
• 2.10 shipped June 6
  • Move Bookmarks is broken (bug 762824), fix committed to all branches (including release)
• 2.11b1 shipped June 8
  • Also affected by (bug 762824), will be fixed in 2.11b2

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

• See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
• Addon Compatibility Listings
  • No Lightning beta matching 2.11b1 yet. Compatible test builds available from the Calendar Versions Page.
• Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

• 2.9 had ~87,000 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.9.1 had ~134,100 downloads so far.
  • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 13.0% on 2.0, 5.0% on 2.1-2.3, 8.5% on 2.4-2.6, 3.6% on 2.7, 7.3% on 2.8 and 62.6% on 2.9. So, in the last two weeks, ~2k (an additional 1.7% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
  • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
  • The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for "Legacy Platforms" e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to TenFourFox and TenFourBird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
• See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.10

open tracking (0) tracking requests (8) targeted (3) fixed (16)

• One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
  • 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
  • Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales). Callek will look at best locale to transition any ka users to.
    • Plan is to migrate ka users to en-US with a english dialog saying they are out of date, and a link to the all-locales page if there is a language they understand better. Current ADU of ka alone is 3-5 individuals, so low impact.~Callek
    • Callek and ewong were working on this but they didn't manage to get this done by the time 2.9 shipped. No new ETA unfortunately.

2.Next

• Asynchronous load-on-demand livemarks (bug 730837) missed 2.10 but landed on all branches. Is fixed in 2.11b1. Inclusion into 2.10.x depends on whether we'll release an oilspill at all and on risk/testing.

Any other business?

• Geolocation
  • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.
  • For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we're not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
  • No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
• Test failures
  • qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.
  • Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
  • tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
  • IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
  • Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
    • Ratty is ***still*** waiting for Serge.
