=== Open questions === | |||
*Where do these items fall on the roadmap? | |||
**Undo/Close Tab feature (which was missing for Fx32 on the Wiki and was backed out of the Fx32 cycle) | |||
**Quick switch to tab (same thing | |||
*Question for mfinkle - think you had some other 33 updates to send to me, other than mentioned here? | |||
* EOL 2.2 ESR - 4 months of security updates possible? Yes - brings us to Oct. | |||
** Is still in Fx31 EOL, then ESR from there - details TBD. | |||
* Status of RTL support & what we need to do to get that moving | |||
** blocked on sdk 19, no longer a blocker, could assign resources to unbitrot the patches & get them rereviewed and landed...sounds easier than it is, and will mean more work moving forward for doing testing on RTL builds. | |||
** Next steps: determine the list of things that need to be done and set this up as an acutal project (project page w/ list and tracking bugs) then start landing stuff in Nightly. Who? Deb and Rnewman can figure out who needs to be involved... | |||

Adobe's marketing group released [http://www.cmo.com/articles/2014/6/2/adi_2014_browser_war.html their take on browser trend numbers] last week. Like a number of other orgs, they've stopped differentiating between desktop, mobile, and tablets, and just [https://blog.shareaholic.com/browser-share-report-05-2014/ report on total share]. They give the nod to Chrome over IE in the US, and we've seen similar reports elsewhere.<br /> | |||
'''Why we should care:''' The new "browser war" reporting is cross-platform, with mobile contributing more and more to web browsing/access in general. There's a need to be aware in the gradual shift of market share reporting, and how more orgs are looking at browsers across platforms, rather than by platform. | |||
A little-known company [http://www.techrepublic.com/article/xcode-6-swift-cloudkit-and-more-surprising-developer-news-from-wwdc-2014/ talked a bit about it's plans around operating systems and cross-platform integration] at it's World Wide Developer conference. Lots of interesting bits around iOS 8 and Yosemite, including things like [https://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/continuity/ Continuity] and mirroring voice and messaging between iOS and OS X, iOS [http://bgr.com/2014/06/09/best-ios-8-features-extensions/ app extensions], and expanded [http://www.wired.com/2014/06/smartphone-notifications/ notifications]. <br /> | |||
'''Why we should care:''' Apple continues to bring some amazing features to its platform, and only to its platform. They're taking good ideas from other platforms and improving on them as new features for the Apple ecosystem, while further locking their users in. Some great ideas, particularly around notifications/intents and picking up where you left off regardless of device. | |||

* Wired on how [http://www.wired.com/2014/06/smartphone-notifications/ notifications help grow usage, and how iOS8 is going to improve on their interactivity]. Also important to note that they're expected, and that user and provider bears cost as overhead. | |||
* Like Google search before it, [http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2014/06/new-android-feature-wakes-you-up-for-your-bus-or-subway-stop/ Google Now continues to add useful little features], like buzzing you when you're approaching your transit stop so you don't wind up in Coney Island or Oakland. | |||
* All those KitKat updates on multiple devices [http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html have finally pushed it's market share up past 13%] | |||
* What's been positioned as a [http://www.cnet.com/news/ios-8-grants-new-power-to-rival-browsers-web-based-apps/ win for browsers] in iOS 8 really isn't, if you're bringing your own rendering engine. | |||
