Schedule & Progress
Firefox 3.5.10 / Firefox 3.6.4
- Doing an update that only updates channel prefs, moving 3.6.4 users on the release channel over to the beta channel. Going out now
- We think OOPP is ready - anyone disagree?
- New issues have slowed
- 522,309 build #6 users on Windows, still climbing. This is very good.
- QA worked through this list of video and game sites to make sure we have testing coverage on popular sites that use plugins. The list was crowdsourced after all call to create it on Twitter by beltzner
- Decided to keep 3.5.10 tied to 3.6.4 to make Linux vendor's lives easier
- Argument for decoupling decision was made based on potential issues, whereas the negative effects on Linux vendors are known and quantifiable
- Shipping schedule needs to be talked about
- Still investigating the Cnet bug and bug 562198
Firefox 3.5.11 / Firefox 3.6.6
- 1.9.2.5 was used by Fennec, so next platform version is 1.9.2.6. We will keep the version #'s coherent by naming it Firefox 3.6.6
- I will be moving the blocking flags and status flags as appropriate
- If you have approvals for 1.9.2.5 they are now for 1.9.2.6
- If we need a chemspill for 3.6.4, this will be off the 3.6.4 relbranch
- If no chemspill, planning early-to mid July, making sure to have this out before BlackHat in late July
- WebM discussion will likely happen shortly
- freezes next Tuesday, June 15, 11:59pm PT
- tentative RC1 next Wednesday, June 16
- tentative final Wednesday, June 23
- on track with additional APIs (Tabs, Request, Lifecycle, Localization, Selection), docs canonicalization, extension auto-detection, SDK search path fixes
- at risk to miss E10S compatibility, privilege reduction, docs restructuring, Panel & Page Mods APIs
- code and string freeze targeted June 11
