    • B2G debug emulator related
    • Shutdown sequence for graphics ipdl
  • OMTC desktop
    • Accelerated windows in progress, looking at which performance issues can be remedied. Aiming to enable early in 32.

    • In progress

Identity (jedp)

<Read Only>

  • Fx Accounts on FxOS: First QA pass finds we fulfill committed user stories
  • Sync on Desktop: Please keep testing

JS (naveed)

<Read Only>

  • Garbage Collection
    • Continue stomping out remaing GGC crashes. More aggressive diagnostics added to Nightly.
  • Front End and Other
    • bug 995200: Enable strict mode for self-hosted code in opt builds, too
    • bug 911147: Implement ES6 Array.prototype.fill

Layout (jet/dbaron)

<Read Only>

  • Testing: reftest is now testing invalidation rects properly again bug 995410
  • Testing: interruptible reflow is now disabled in reftest harness bug 992324
  • Platform parity of Web features: @font-face { src:local(...) } now supported on Android bug 769194

Media (mreavy)

  • Landed major update of AEC we'd been expecting. AEC is now run on getUserMedia streams directly.
    • Was bounced twice and took a week to land due to b2g emulator issues (see m.d.platform)
  • Found that the fix for delays opening audio streams on Mac (bug 919215) didn't solve that cubeb_init could take hundreds of ms or even >8 seconds, leading to permanent delay/echo on Macs, especially using speakerphone modes. Fixed.
  • MediaStreamGraph now resamples and mixes to the "preferred" output rate (typically 44100 or 48000) before passing audio to AudioStream.
  • Even moving some tests around from one dir to another broke B2G opt emulator (bug 963244 went perma-orange until the move was reverted)

Necko (dougt/jduell)

  • no update this week

Performance (vladan/avih)

  • IOInterposer non blocking observers - less interruptions for normal browsing when collecting IO data (nightly).
  • Reduced addons compatibility checks - most tests now pass.
  • Still fixing maintrhead IO bugs.
  • Still working on talos profiling. Phase one is likely to not support windows.
  • Improved telemetry dashboard: more analytics integration, slowSQL bugfix, jobs timeout notifications.
  • Handling talos regressions (bug 990644) - process hopefully in place, impact unclear.

Seceng (grobinson)

  • We're working on an addon to help users protect themselves and learn more about Heartbleed. WIP on Github

Shumway (mbx)

WebAPI (overholt)

  • Tobie Langel started on a contract today to help advance our Service Workers implementation
    • speaking of Service Workers, the cache API design is coming along and the necko team is getting involved

irc #planning Log From This Meeting

10:56 KaiRo: cpeterson: no stability audible today
10:56 cpeterson: KaiRo: ok
11:01 RyanVM|sheriffduty: mreavy: safe to say that the "right" media people aren't here for me to rant about the current state of the media mochitests? (not webrtc stuff)
11:01 RyanVM|sheriffduty: i.e. bug 994877
11:02 RyanVM|sheriffduty: I think I counted 6-7 bugs in the top 20 OF
11:02 mreavy: RyanVM|sheriffduty: they are sleeping, but I will be speaking to the media mochitests in my media update
11:02 RyanVM|sheriffduty: great
11:02 Waldo: woo taxes /o\
11:02 mreavy: RyanVM|sheriffduty: yeah, way too many :-(
11:02 RyanVM|sheriffduty: always skips hot bug
11:02 Waldo: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2014-04-15 for anyone who needs it
11:07 Waldo: woo for doing it right from the start in a11y \o/
11:07 davidb: :)
11:11 RyanVM|sheriffduty: bug 994877 is tracking mreavy's comments about media mochitest problems
11:12 davidb: mreavy: what is the best way to test webrtc?
11:12 davidb: (i use nightly)
11:13 mreavy: davidb: soon it will be Loop, which will be landing in the next week or so.  In the meantime opentokrtc.com is what I recommend.  For example, opentokrtc.com/davidb will give you a "room".  You can share that link with whoever you want to have a call with.
11:14 dveditz: unofficial Heartbleed addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/heartbleed/
11:14 dveditz: seceng is working on a better one though
11:14 dveditz: (actual input from UX folks, no bad-for-privacy reliance on a server)
11:14 Waldo: also notes that contractor is a longtime Mozillian, if his memory serves \o/
11:15 Waldo: we are laughing in here because of departing just as Bob was being poked
11:15 bhearsum: dveditz++
11:17 jesup: http://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/ has links to several services that use WebRTC that you can use for calls/chatting/file xfer/etc (about to update it with some more)
11:19 jesup: davidb: Updated 
11:20 davidb: ok great
11:20 davidb: i was wondering if one was better than the other
11:20 davidb: this stuff is getting pretty awesome
11:21 mreavy: david: my preference is opentokrtc.com --- but soon it will be Loop :-)
11:21 mreavy: davidb: ^^
11:21 davidb: ty
11:23 KaiRo: realizes he potentially should have put the Mac Flash crashes into the agenda, given how many people at Mozilla use Macs
