** Other than azure hosting options because of price are also evaluated.

* Our [https://gitlab.com/seamonkey-project gitlab project repos] are now public.

** Patches will still be done via bugzilla first and then checked into hg or git by a peer.

* We are looking at l10n tools.

* Starting with ESR60 2.57 all builds need to switch to mozilla as topsourcedir. Support for comm-central and comm-esr60 as top source dir is no longer supported.

** Do not expect to use any 2.58+ release yet other than for checking if it builds. They are fundamentally broken by Mozilla source and api removals. Bugs for the 2.57 release will also land in comm-central.

* Because of changes in level-3 access we can no longer directly push patches to the mozilla repos or create branches. Access to the comm- repos is unchanged.

** We currently do not track nor update comm-release.

** Do not use any current comm-release based release.

** For building please apply the patches from Bills website to the noted comm-release and mozilla-release changeset.

** For building please stay at Rust 1.37 for now.

** Do not try to use any comm-esr68 based release.

** We will not track nor update comm-esr68 for now

* [comm-esr60]:

*** The 2.53.2 beta 1 release is tracked in {{Bug|1618866}}.

*** The release notes and website update are tracked in {{Bug|1624299}}.

*** NSS 3.49 and up drop the dbm compatibility module. This has been restored for 2.53.2. Later we might do a hard block upgrading from an older release.

**** Distributions using the system nss might need to adjust compile settings for this.

** The following bugs are not yet fixed in 2.53.x:

*** {{Bug|1409458}} "Privacy Issue: Replying to or forwarding an HTML e-mail with external content".

** A meta bug {{Bug|1584728}} tracks the rdf removal from SeaMonkey.

** Security fixes are backported frequently. '''frg''' tries to keep it as current as possible in his spare time.

*** clang 5, 7 or 8, gcc 6.1, gcc 7 and 8 can be used to build 2.53.1 on Linux or for macOS. Support for gcc 5.x and 4.x has been removed.

*** clang 7, 8 or 9, VS2017 15.9.13 and VS2019 are supported under Windows. Support for VS2015 and earlier VS2017 versions has been removed.

*** The official releases are compiled with VS2019 for Windows, gcc 6 for Linux and clang 5 for macOS. Rust 1.36 is used.

** The unofficial release is now at 2.53.3 Beta 1 pre.

** WebExtentions dictionary support should be enabled as soon as possible in 2.53.

** The internal devtools inspector works for chrome content in SeaMonkey.

** We are looking into adding support for the AV1 codec, Custom Elements and Shadow Dom in a later release. No ETA yet. This is or will also be supported in 2.57.

** mozbuild 3.3 is currently not supported under Windows. Please stay with 3.2 for now.

*** While packed directly it is still maintained as an extension

** Add-ons need to switch to optionsType 3 for 2.57. TB did a fix showing the preferences in the menu list. We need to port this bug for 2.57.

* Thunderbird plans to discontinue classic add-ons with the next ESR78 based release.

** Enigmail will be discontinued and OpenPGP will be integrated.

*** The OpenPGP integration is tracked in {{Bug|22687}}.

* cZ and DOMi should be integrated into SeaMonkey because of the l10n problem tracked in {{Bug|1231349}}.

=== Any other business? ===

* The next meeting will be held in two weeks on Sunday April 19, 2020, 14:00 UTC (16:00 CET).
