Main Bugs Progress

• Account Configuration bug 422814 (davida)
  • Backend changes have been checked in
  • beta 1 discussion: concern about this making b1 given the work to be done, lack of usage to date, possible patch collisions
  • beta 1 idea: bring it in as experimental via pref, so ship 2 account configs
• Password Manager bug 239131 (standard8)
  • LDAP patch waiting review (completes ldap changes) and update
  • Starting to look at rest of changes, i.e. smtp
• Inline card dialog bug 450724 (standard8)
  1. Inline Edit Card dialog now avaliable via clicking and using menu option.
  2. Star UI: prototyped, need to do proper version, know what the UI wants to be, may be interative.
• Improved Message Reader View bug 449691 (dmose)
  • Second patch posted for ui-review
• Toolkit autocomplete migration bug 360648
  • Waiting on one ui-review from Beltzner mconnor
  • LDAP code needs doing - current proposed version seems to regress the SSL error on shutdown, needs the LDAP xpcom interface (between AB & LDAP c-sdk) reworking.
