Stability Report [Weekly]

  • We are doing pretty good stability-wise in recent releases, crash rates are low, most crashes we talk about post-release are third-party issues and not our own code. Keep it up!
  • Overview of stability indicators: arewestableyet.com
  • Looking into how to make this report in this meeting more attractive for attendees - what are you interested in? Please tell stability@m.o or #crashkill
  • Trunk bugs looking for assignees:
    • bug 805745 - gfxASurface::Release() is the #2 signature over the last 3 days by build date
    • bug 815542 - The spike is Linux only, so not showing up high in overall volume, but it's out #1 crash on Linux in the last 3 days

CrashStats 2012-11-27.png

B2G

  • We still get too few reports sent in overall, so again, please test what you can on your devices and send reports if you crash!
  • bug 811778 waiting for uplift, will only send reports over wifi.
  • We'll need bug 814078 as a followup to make sure we submit all queued/pending reports.
  • Also, bug 811335 on the server (stackwalker) side is currently (probably) blocking us from getting better information out of the reports we receive.

Snappy [Weekly]

Content
  • Aaron Klotz has made some great progress on prompting for plug-in hangs. See his blog post and check it out in this try build.

Games [1st Tuesday of Month]

Mobile Web Compat [2nd Tuesday of Month]

Critsmash [3rd Tuesday of Month]

Memshrink [4th Tuesday of Month]

  • B2G still a primary focus. It's harder on beta to make significant changes. Cross your fingers.
  • The (hopefully) last compartment sharing work for b2g is on central and is ready to land on Aurora once the tree reopens. After that we can land it all and turn it on on beta.
  • Lots of work improving coverage of memory reporters, mostly to help B2G.
  • We briefly hit zero known leaks in add-ons! A year ago this was our single biggest memory consumption problem, and now it's a minor annoyance. Great stuff.
