Last Week:

  • Posted patch for bug 1066879 The SSDP implementation can sometimes take too long to discover a device.
  • Fixed standalone WebRTC after rebase.
  • Investigating bug 1053426 Fennec crashes when tab sharing is active (No leads yet)

Next Week:

  • Continue investigating bug 1053426 Fennec crashes when tab sharing is active.
  • Land bug 1066879 The SSDP implementation can sometimes take too long to discover a device.
  • Set up private channel with Roku WebRTC Player to enable testing. Waiting on Roku to do this.
  • Continue to try and land standalone code (currently blocked on WebRTC refactor).
  • Land bug 1048425 Enable support for tab sharing with Roku device. Possible once private channel has been set up.
  • Investigate sending H.264 instead of VP8 video to standalone WebRTC. (Not certain how critical this is as performance of VP8/OpenGL appears adequate)

  • Code: Remote Tabs home panel has landed and stuck (bug 1014994). Most old and new features landed: bug 1064304, bug 977161, bug 1063765. Down to UI polish and split-pane tablet view for 35 cycle.
  • Reviews: been avoiding reviewing ckitching's patches that make annotation processing a Real Child. Action in bug 1064554 and bug 1067217.
  • Testing: instrumentation tests have landed in automation and mozharness (meta bug is bug 1064004). TBPL and treeherder in the works. Trying to carve out time to write the actual test harness; follow bug 903537.
  • Search Activity: patches up to fetch search engines at build time from region.properties (like suggestedsites): bug 1065306.
