Major Topics for This Week

Release Planning

We have been keeping an eye on the blocking bug counts, stability and performance metrics. The current plan was to uplift all required code to Aurora (Fx13) and ship a Beta to the marketplace 4/16+baketime. The adjusted plan (proposed) is to wait for Fx14 to merge to Aurora and ship a Beta to the marketplace 4/24+baketime. The only date adjustment is 4/16 to 4/24. Given the longer than usual beta period, we are not expecting to adjust the final release date at this time.

Aurora Uplift

Pushed a non-graphics uplift to Aurora so we can get more testing on changes to the Java UI and Sync.

Video-based Performance Testing

William Lachance has been working on the EideTicker Dashboard and has checkerboarding tests for scrolling and zooming.
