Platform

• Most of the patches which were disapproved for 2.0 but were safe for 2.2 have been landed through merges from the cedar branch.
• Need to start building goals for Q2 2011, see Platform/2011-Q2-Goals

GFX

• Tentative graphics goals have been posted.
  • Right now they are more or less "What we think we're going to work on" - make sure what you need from graphics is prioritized!
• The graphics task list is for your looking.
  • This is a superset of the Q2 goals, as you may expect.
• How many users get hardware acceleration? I assert you will be surprised.

Video

• Landed video stats patch

Stability Report

• Firefox 4
  • Over 17,832,195 million users today, up from 13,885,351 yesterday. Crash rate is showing as 22.28% but needs to be adjusted because we have throttled down to 10% from 100%
  • One of the top issues (both branches) was bug 644125 but Norton pushed out a LiveUpdate so the crash numbers have declined.
  • A few things we are watching
    • Several malware issues in top 5 - still working on this. Created an ether pad to brainstorm about ways we can improve the battle against malware - http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/CrashKill-Malware. Please add any ideas as we may have a session regarding this during the All Hands Week.
    • McAfee Site Advisor - bug 641766 and bug 646131
    • Several new JS crashes that are correlated to Kikin and Firebug. dmandelin is looking into these:
      • bug 615098
      • bug 637304
      • bug 644712
      • bug 595975

Roundtable

• Deb is trying to compile a list of things that people have landed or are planning to land in time for Firefox 5. Please send her an email (deb@mozilla.com) if you have something that qualifies, and please include URLs to relevant wiki pages and/or bugs if at all possible. Ping "dria" in IRC if you have questions.
• On a similar note, please make sure bugs that impact developer documentation are tagged with the "dev-doc-needed" keyword, so that they show up on this list.
• Rapid Release Updates decision tracking
• can the RC-ridealongs land at the front-of-the-queue on mozilla-central? rc-ridealongs?
