Need To Know

(Release and system issues that may impact engineering this week.)

Notices/Schedule (lsblakk/sylvestre)

Next Merge: January 6, 2025 Next Release: January 7, 2025
Trains
Central: 135 Aurora: 54 Beta: 134 Release: 132

<Read Only>

  • 31b8 build 1 built on both Desktop & Mobile. Waiting for QA sign off to go live
  • GGC won't ship with 31 but in 32. Causing too many issues in term of stability (OOM) Bug 994589 for more info
  • Other top crash: bug 988549 (GFX blocklist)

Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

RelEng (catlee)

(Repo, test, and other information for engineers from the release engineering team.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

  • Past week's OrangeFactor: 7.65 (Previous Week: 9.18).
  • Numbers improving after another recent batch of test disablings and a number of fixes landing.
  • #1: bug 1007230 - Timeouts during pip install.
  • New serviceworker tests are flaky on Android/B2G. Seems too risky to backout at this point, so action needed on the various bugs on file.
  • 34 intermittent failures fixed in the last week - List - Thanks!.

CritSmash (dbolter)

MemShrink (njn)

  • No update.

Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)

  • Overall numbers still don't look entirely good:
    • Aurora is just still seeing some people on the bad builds from last weekend, crash data for newer builds is fine
    • Beta 31 has ~30% worse data than 30, due to 3 areas:
      • Experiments shutdown crashes (bug 1012924, no effect on release which doesn't run experiments).
      • GGC OOM crashes, mostly bug 999158. Sadly, we'll need to disable GGC on 31.
      • GFX crashes, see bug 988549, due to blocklist for D2D (at least) not working correctly. GFX team is looking into it.

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Accessibility (dbolter)

App Tools (prouget)

B2G Services (dougt)

Cloud Services (mmayo)

Firefox OS Systems - Front End (gwagner)

Firefox OS Systems - Platform (timdream)

GFX (milan)

  • Will create a tracking bug for leaving Windows OMTC on Aurora and link some of the bugs currently hanging off bug 899785 to block that. Aiming for 33 at this point.
  • Still chasing those PushClipsDT issues.
  • Chasing increased memory usage with B2G 2.0, new homescreen, etc. Current issues include larger screen, 1.5x multiplier having us hit fractional CSS pixels and slow path (opacity), extra snapshots kept around for the edge gesture interface, additional memory required by tiling and low-res tiling, but not memory leaks as such.

Identity (jedp)

JS (naveed)

    • bug 1023618 - Always call FlushRendering in the reftest harness.

    • bug 996798 - Add a typedef to make it easier to change the size of nsWrapperCache/nsINode flags.
    • bug 1030829 - preload 'hidden' fonts on FirefoxOS into the user-font cache.

Media (mreavy)

<Read Only>

  • Working hard on landing OpenH264 and initial ScreenSharing support for 33
    • bug 948160 - master OpenH264 bug
      • Lots of GMP plugin stuff ready to land to finalize the plugin API and allow sandboxing by proxying Shmem to the Parent.
    • bug 923225 - Metabug for screen sharing support
      • Large patch from some external contributors; gcp working with them to make it reviewable and landable -- Thanks!
  • Landed fix for top orange this morning bug 1031137 -- yeah! Thanks padenot
  • B2G audio performance fixes landed and uplifted to 32. Looking to see if we need more.

Necko (dougt/jduell)

  • Here's our Networking Q3 goals
  • We're also starting some projects that are not Q3 goals (may take longer):
    • OpenVPN interface for necko: wanted by many cellphone network optimizer providers
    • Looking into how we can improve our behavior in captive portals (Hotel/airport/etc wifi)
    • Also hoping to provide better support for detecting online/offline for B2G (and maybe other platforms)

Performance (vladan)

Seceng (keeler)

    • bug 1027133: Broadened twitter's pinset to cover *.twitter.com
    • bug 1024610, bug 1021419 landed for backend of tracking protection, bug 1029887 to enable frontend changes in review
    • bug 643041: nsIX509Cert2, nsIX509Cert3 are now part of nsIX509Cert. Similarly, nsIX509CertDB2 -> nsIX509Cert. There are no functionality changes, but some addons or patches currently being worked on may require some find/replaces. Also, it's no longer necessary to query interface from (for example) an nsIX509Cert to an nsIX509Cert3 to get the additional functionality that was provided by that interface.
