(2006-02-27) Update

• I apologize for not keeping these notes up to date
• I'm going through the Firefox bugs marked fixed1.8.0.2 and adding pseudo-flags to the status whiteboard in the format [xxx-dl]
  • [rft-dl] - ready for testing - ready for qa to verify the fix
  • [tcn-dl] - test case needed - need more info to verify the fix
  • [tjp-dl] - test japan - need to ask mozilla japan folks to help verify
  • [nvn-dl] - no verification needed - I think we can skip directed/focused verification of this bug. Usually because:
    • this is an internal architecture change and we're just looking for anything else that breaks
    • this fixes a topcrasher, and we'll look at the topcrash stats after release to make sure the crash frequency goes down
    • build/packaging issue (like building univeral binaries for macos, or BeOS-only changes) - if the builds exist and run, the patch is ok
    • covered by testing we do anyway. Some software update changes are covered by this flag
• As always, let me and/or drivers know if you disagree with a flag. I'm very willing to change my mind when presented with new information.
• Our goal is to verify all critical security fixes, and 60% of all fixes overall, before releasing 1.5.0.2
