Schedule Update

• 52.0.2 this week? still not clear what if anything to do with 1345355

 - fennec non-neon deprecation
 - fennec hangs with mdns/chromecast
 - linux startup crash
 - font fallback for some indic languages
 - Will there be a ESR52.0.2 as well?
 

• Websense update rules (for 52) allowing WS users of versions not known to be crashy to update to 52.0.1 for 48 hours. No response from Forcepoint in last 2 weeks.

• 53.0b4 desktop released Friday, b4 mobile Tuesday (mobile delays because of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1349039)

• 53.0b5 mobile build is blocked because of the same l10n issues. It should be ready for testing today. QE runs a bigger suite of basic functional tests on beta 4 which takes 2 days. In this case that will happen for beta 5. Upshot of that is beta 5 mobile will likely not be released till Thursday. Thanks aki, rail, jlorenzo for the fixes

* On Friday we shipped 52.0.1 (Desktop, Fennec), ESR52.0.1, 53.0b4 Desktop

ADI numbers across channels/products seem to be inaccurately reported for march 20 (too low), so crash rates on arewestableyet.com are artificially high

Who to bring graphics crash issues to while milan is out? Selena :)
