• Search will be landing over the next week or two and then we'll finish up the beta.
  • try server build while the patch is being reviewed
  • once it lands dates for b3 and b4.

• Beta 3 stated as the release for all work with serious downstream work impact (ui, backend, l10n, etc). Anything that isn't like that should be pushed out into Beta 4.

• Driver ownership of bugs
  • From a drivers conversation, requiring blocking bugs to be owned by drivers is being reconsidered. Drivers own too many bugs to drive them all. Changing this policy would help reflect reality better, so drivers will consider possible ways to relax/alter that rule for comm-central.

Standard8

• Reviews
• Tab implementation improvements - bug 493700 allow different tabs to specify their own controllers for enabling/disabling command options (and specifying their own implementation of functions).
  • Still some work to do to get all menu options working correctly on non-message pane contexts, filed follow-up bugs.
• bug 440794 Send In Background
  • Landed listener updates (api changes) that improve the activity manager UI and hopefully will help with automated retry etc.
  • bug 495527 Fixed up unit tests following the api changes.
  • Now trying to extract the send failure dialogs from the sending code so that we can do automated retry without prompting the user with a modal dialog each time.
