Topics for This Week
- Async Prompts Landing
- Started by Jim and getting wrapped up by Wes, the prompt system is going async. We have a few regressions, but overall the patches are landing and sticking. We are using Prompt.jsm to nicely manage using prompts in Javascript code.
- Quick Share
- Sriram landed the patches for Quick Share last night and we should see the feature on tomorrow's Nightly. See bug 869123 for details.
- x86
- We are starting to gear up for an x86 release. Brad has been doing some work to get the x86 builds ready for Beta and Release channels. We want to get additional testing before releasing. We will likely be getting more x86 devices too. We did find one potential blocker in bug 879651.
