Add-on compat bump

• Christian is checking with the add-ons team on when this is happening
  • Christian has checked, hope to happen next week

Stability report

• Nothing we're worried about
• Crashes are a bit high overall due to bug 691271

• A couple complaints about how we're moving tabs around: [4] and [5]
• A couple complaints involving download manager behavior: [6] and [7] and [8] and [9]

Silent Update

• Lessen the display of app update UI - follow-up on request from Asa (yesterday)
  • patch ready to change prompt period from 12 to 24 hours
  • Rob will review today and then ready for Aurora and Beta
• Delay showing the update dialog for partial update
  • need to investigate further before making any changes, will investigate

roundtable

• handoff to RelEng missing l10n milestones with 7.0, 7.0.1.
  • putting manual check in place before starting tagging/building - while we figure out what if anything can be automated.

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657472 (silent-er update) safe for Beta, according to Rob. patch being re-worked. We will take on Aurora too but we don't want this on trunk. Trunk will be a separate bug.

• Alex and Christian are discussing the future of these meetings. Initial thought:
  • Release management triages every day
    • Taking notes, explaining reasoning, etc
  • Release management leaves contentious bugs alone and puts an initial thinking in the bug
  • We have Tuesday afternoon Thursday morning PDT meetings
    • Deal with contentious bugs
    • Invite people to contest their bugs
    • Focus on the bugs we are tracking, with explicit DRIs
