General Info & Status

Release Schedule

Development:

  • Tentative Ship Date: February 2007 (date TBD) [was 2/1]
  • Nominations Deadline: January 5, 2007
  • Code Freeze (Checkin Deadline): Tuesday 2/7 [was 2/5 | 1/29 | 1/18]
  • First Candidates Available: Thursday 2/9 [was 1/30 | 1/19]
  • Target Release Date: Wednesday 2/21 (tentative)
  • Schedule Notes:
    • [Wednesday 2/7] We finally landed the remaining blockers last night 2/6 and took a couple of minor fixes on the branch today. Preed is going to be spinning RC1 builds today and we should have them ready for testing tomorrow 2/8. If everything goes well and we complete the QA cycle with no major regressions and respins, we should be able to hit a target release date of 2/20.
    • [Friday 2/2] We plan to land Vista changes on the branch by Monday and will hopefully have the 3 blocker bugs we are holding the release for checked in by then as well (bug 326877, bug 364297, and bug 360493). Other blockers that land by 2/5 @ 10am will make it into RC1, and the rest will be pushed out (unless we slip again or need a respin, at which point we might make exceptions for landing).

NOTE: Both QA and Build/Release schedules below need to be updated after we decide on new code freeze and ship dates. We are also moving forward with the Major Update push.

QA Tasks

Firefox 1.5.0.10-2.0.0.2 Test Plan <-- MoCo QA tasks and results are here.

In order to get more coverage on fixes going in for Firefox 1.5.0.10 and 2.0.0.2 plus Thunderbird 1.5.0.10(maybe?), we need the community to help test the latest RC candidates or nightly "latest-mozilla1.8.0" AND nightly "latest-mozilla1.8" branch builds while looking at the current list of fixed1.8.0.10 bugs AND fixed1.8.1.2 bugs (excluding XForms bugs). Here are a few ways to help:

  • Vista Testing : We plan to fix quite a few bugs that will make the Firefox experience a lot nicer on Vista, so we need to make sure to run a thorough set of tests on Vista, including BFTs, updates, etc... Find the Vista test plan here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.5.0.x:Vista_Test_Plan
  • BFTs & Regression Testing: Running through a set of BFTs on Litmus is the best way to test basic functionality and explore various areas for regressions.
  • Extensions & Themes Testing: Install and use some of your favorite extensions and themes. Try a few new ones from addons.mozilla.org to make sure everything works as expected.
  • Minor/Major Software Updates: We may enable minor / updates prior to releasing 1.5.0.10, meaning that the user will be given the option to go from a 1.5.0.9 release to 2.0.0.1. Please go through the test cases in Litmus that go through this functionality, Revised Software Update Tests.

Community testing and feedback will be managed through the QA Blog and the Newsgroup, so keep an eye out for posts and discussions there!
