Blog Shout Out

Various ways to keep up on commits landing on m-c: https://staktrace.com/spout/entry.php?id=797

General
Usability, Responsiveness, and New Features
  • bug 730445 You can now change the default search engine landed in Fx23, check it out!
  • WebRTC still behind a build flag but being actively tested to flesh out issues prior to enabling
  • Progress on reflow-on-zoom continues with the landing of bug 803719 and bug 800805, proposed next steps for perf issues, here: bug 836565
  • This will make Android/Gonk code sharing a little easier: bug 864521 - Replace Fennec's AndroidKeyEvent::KEYCODE enum with Android's AKEYCODE enum
Stability Wins
  • bug 859100 - java.lang.NullPointerException: at org.mozilla.gecko.BrowserToolbar.canToolbarHide(BrowserToolbar.java)
  • bug 859031 - java.lang.NullPointerException: at org.mozilla.gecko.BrowserApp$8$1.run(BrowserApp.java)

Stability

  • bug 856670 (js::RemapWrapper) is our #2 crash on Aurora 22, something made the signature go away on Nightly but we're not sure why. Benjamin Smedberg thinks something might have reduced sizes of thread pools (indexedDB? DOM workers?) or reduced stack frame size, or similar (see comment 28), does anyone know what happened there so we have a candidate for uplift?
  • Release crash rates are becoming quite low (1.63 yesterday - we consider everything below 2.0 to be "good"), multiple reasons - Flash 11.7 seems to be slightly better in hangs than 11.6, and then a number of signatures are down significantly in volume for unknown reasons, e.g. bug 812683 and bug 819028 (D3D11-6.2/Win7).

OrangeFactor

  • Past week's OrangeFactor: 8.28 (Previous Week: 5.84) - 7.31 if bug 761987 is left out.
  • bug 846156 (ASSERTION: mArguments wasn't cleaned up properly!: '!mArguments') has many clones and hits across a variety of tests.
  • Still seeing many crashes [@ PL_DHashTableEnumerate] with "ASSERTION: (*(uint32_t*)(table->entryStore + ((uint32_t)1 << (32 - (table)->hashShift)) * table->entrySize)) > 0" spread across many tests (i.e. bug 855185).
  • 15 intermittent failures fixed in the last week - List - Thanks!.

Performance [Bi-Weekly]


Blog posts:

Metro [1st Tuesday of each month]

Games [1st Tuesday of Month]

Mobile Web Compat [2nd Tuesday of Month]

Critsmash [3rd Tuesday of Month]

Memshrink [4th Tuesday of Month]

about:memory now has the ability to load and save memory reports as gzipped JSON. An improved UI and the ability to diff two profiles will be here soon.

Memory consumption on B2G is an ongoing concern. The amount of memory available to Gecko is a little over 100 MiB, so any app that misbehaves memory-wise can chew that up quickly.

MemShrink reports: week 93--94, week 95--96.
