Status Updates

Extension Manager Enhancements

• Extension Dependencies - phase 1 landed. (For details on what is and is not included see Extension_Dependencies)
• Extension Blocklisting - about 90% completed. Name will be blocklisting per cbeard. A couple of ui elements still need to be finished and the wiki needs to be consolidated. Extension Blacklisting and Extension Manager Blacklist
• Extension Locales - nothing new. Bug 285848, Bug 324189, and Language Pack UI.
• Extension Update Notification - need to rethink the how we are going to provide notification - on startup is problematic due to requiring a check for only items that haven't been notified in a previous notification (e.g. avoiding notification on each startup). Bug 307358

Installer

Nothing new. Bug 326580

Search Engine UI

• Backend (a1 targetted) patch has been posted, awaiting review from mconnor and/or ben
• Want to address any review comments and land that ASAP for a1
• Need feedback on search parameter requirements (rebron?)
  • Are parameters hardcoded in the search plugin file sufficient for a1?

Session Saver

• Using a modified JS XPCOM service from the CrashRestore extension, working on getting it hooked up to bon echo.
