Bon Echo Beta 2 Status

Bug lists

• Firefox 2 blockers for Beta 2 (Zaroo boogs!)
  • talkback symbols are now being seen (bug 350212)
  • new bookmark files are being redirected (bug 349092)
  • some additional redirects in place due to bug 350453 (no respin needed)
  • release notes (bug 350548) to be completed (beltzner)

Beta 2 Release Date

• On target to release Thursday, Aug 31st assuming no stop-ship items discovered in L10N builds which are now available as candidates
  • locales look to be in pretty good shape
• we'll be updating Alpha1/2/3 and Beta1 users to Beta2 upon release
  • schrep to check AUS pings to see if we need to update Beta1RC1 users, too

Bon Echo RC1 Status

• Firefox 2 blockers for post beta 2 (100+ remaining, ~4 of which are unowned)
  • if you own a blocker and either see no clear path to resolution or have no time to complete, please mark as [at risk]
  • drivers are starting to take less and less risk (see schrep's recent devnews post for details)
  • schrep: product is in good shape, but without really good regression testing coverage and understanding of risk we simply can't afford to take patches this late in the game
  • schrep: we have about as much development time between now and RC as we do for a dot-dot security/support release
  • myk: are the lists being revisited to ensure everything on them are actually blockers?
  • schrep: mconnor/beltzner are handling the Firefox2 list, I'm handling the 1.8.1 list, we're in decent shape

Visual Refresh

• tracking bug is bug 328065
• a large number of blockers are than theme releated blockers (more than 30)
• keep filing issues, CSS and icon tweaks can be taken late
• if you have code changes, get them done sooner than the CSS and image issues!

Software Update

• seth: talked to marcia and davel about test plans, one bug has come up (minor UI issue, trying to determine if it's a regression/real)
• beltzner: still thinking of doing a nightly update as a major to see how that's going to work?
  • schrep: should do that a week after beta2 sometime to give build team time to recuperate from the beta2 release
  • seth: when we fake the major update there's a "never" button that we'll need to make sure doesn't hurt users

Anti-Phishing

• several new blockers to meet server side requirements (tracked in bug 349227)
• tony: everything seems on track, plans in place, just implementation, awaiting review on a couple of bugs

JS 1.7

• Jesse's fuzzer is finding fewer and fewer problems and is testing more and more

Any new areas of concern?

• brettw: want to make sure the dictionary download site is in the release notes

Schedule Review

• Firefox Beta 2: tentative Aug 31st release
• RC1 lockdown: tentative Sept 13th at 11:59pm PDT

Any Other Business

• none!
