Schedule

Beta 1 has shipped
Beta 2
- String freeze: Oct 9

Major Topics for This Week

Windows and Mac builds crash on startup
Mac build fails to paint until you zoom, or interact with content.

Front-end

Primarily working on Beta 2 blockers
- Triaging the blocker list to move out non-critical bugs
Also working on other blockers and some performance/optimization bugs
Features (see Planning page)
- Work re-started on scroll indicators
- Need to re-evaluate the page interactions feature
New Core (nee Android) theme is underway
- Martell is supplying styles and glyphs
- Vivien landed first patch and we regressed Twinopen by ~180ms
- We are re-working the theme with less "slow" CSS parts
- We are breaking up the theme into smaller parts

UX design

theme work ongoing in bug 575403

reviewing ux b2-intended ux bugs

Maemo

Qt

Android

Standard packaging bug 567873 landed
Custom dlopen bug 588607 waiting for review by ted
Black flash fix landed bug 599397
Places no longer takes 10mb on profile creation

Electrolysis

General Platform

Video

Camera

Plugins

Performance

Investigated Sync perf
- Encrypt/decrypt off-main-thread patch is done (by philiKON) just needs approval.. this helps enormously with responsiveness during esp. first sync (bug 570619)
- Patch to remove "tmp" sqlite tables helps with errors/warnings that are perf-related during first sync (bug 552053), but might cause other issues (bug 585704)
- Dug into JS perf tools for profiling issues like this (not quite ready for prime-time, but soon -- maybe a week?)
Trying to get talos set up locally to validate some perf patches
- Lots of fail. Looking into today.

Networking

Graphics

Startup

Layout

Content

Release Engineering

4.0b1 - another build, successful update test with beta-cck-test
android standard packaging - landed+green; nightly signing busted bug 603822
- nightly updates are assuming fennec is named fennec.apk; need to figure out how to get around this.
tegras running in staging on m-c nightlies. todo:
- fix nightly signing (above)
- merge code (deal with conflicts), get review, land
- point at production tinderbox/graphs
- still waiting for tegras
queued up after android tests: android multilocale, android release packaging/upload fixes
MV downtime this Sunday, 1-4

QA

Manual

New Bugs over the week: filed
- Triaged through in-litmus? bugs and are beginning to pare off that list
- Verifying bugs on Build 2 and will sign off once that's done
Need a triage of bugs nominated over the past week
Seeing some good feedback coming in from Android nightly and Maemo beta users
Results from nightly Smoketest runs

Automation

android - results in releng staging!
- talos ts, tgfx should be running live today
- bug 601634 - update to talos for tp4, tsvg and tdhtml (waiting for landing)

browser-chrome -
- bug 600877 - browser chrome fails to get proper focus on maemo, blocking full run (waiting on review: gavin?)
