WebRT

bug 918309 - Import and use public domain JNI.jsm implementation - fixed leak, but it keeps crashing in libdvm on automation
bug 1035999 - Multiple prompts (notifications) about available app updates - looking into using JNI to get class name to definitively identify webapp activities
bug 1046156 - "bind" entire AndroidLog module to a tag - inbound on fx-team, use it like so:

 let Log = Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/AndroidLog.jsm", {}).AndroidLog.bind("MyModule");
 Log.d("This is a debug message.");
 // Outputs "D/GeckoMyModule(#####): This is a debug message."

I have stopped listing the runtime bugs to which members of my team are assigned. I'll continue noting significant progress. Use Bugzilla for the rest! (Here are my Android runtime bugs.)

QA Release Test-Plans

Garvan

Based on discussions with Richard and Nick, some more refactoring on the storage module and upload module
Stumbler: Pulled the use of a db-backend, now file-based (and memory, if network is available, doesn't flush to disk). Required significant refactor.
Getting code reviewed by stumbler folks, then passing the stumbler service to Richard and Nick for final code review
Needs one more hook into Fennec for triggering the upload
Need to get a MozStumbler beta out with these changes
