Firebug 1.10

• 1.10.0a3 this week?
• Multiline command line is based on Orion (color syntax).

• List of 1.10 blockers

• It should not be possible to detect Firebug: needs FWG discussion

Firebug 1.10 AMD

AMD Improvements: needs FWG discussion

• Replacing RequireJS loader, Sourcemint
  • Also does file concatenating
  • Christoph providing working version and examples next week.
  • Honza should review before Tuesday's Firebug call

• Implement packages (e.g. Orion == an independent package)
  • Firebug Loader could be also divided into more AMD modules that are joined into one Cu module in the release
• Firebug API Backward Compatibility:
  • CommonJS Mapping
  • Extensions should use "firebug/lib/lib" module

Firebug 1.10 Bootstrapped

• 1.10.restartless branch can we delete from SVN?
• Honza done: Example bootstrapped extension
• Honza todo docs: API design for Firebug 1.10 extensions
• Activation needs to adapt delayed-load: needs FWG discussion
  • The logic should be part of the code loaded immediately
  • Potential problem with async FB loading (e.g. missed HTTP requests in the Net panel, JSD must be enabled soon)

Automated Tests

• Test bot results

• FIXED Issue 5138: FBTest console/api/profile fails.
• Test bot "Failures" tab fixed, we should watch it

Needs to be fixed:

• Issue 5097: FBTest needs to set default UI size
• Different domains for automated tests
  • Helps detecting zombie compartments

Miscellaneous

• FWG has bunch of pending membership, what should we do?
  • Email to all asking why to join
  • Rules for joining: should be long time FB user, FB extension developer or anyone who wants to contribute to the Firebug project.

Moving to GIT

• Keep SVN working at the same time for at least some period of time.
• Keep Issue list where it is.
• How to manage contributions (pull requests) if there is too many?
