SeaMonkey 2 Alpha

open blockers all blockers blocker requests

We have 4 open blockers right now:

    • A questionable (IMHO) security bug,
    • Removing feed detection on the relbranch (which should not happen in normal nightlies)
    • Prefpanel migration (almost done).
      • Languages was started by stefanh, who is on vacation; IanN has taken that over and will try to deliver the patch today.
    • bug 423211 Bookmarks import from old profiles (This probably affects migrator code). Problem has been diagnosed. Patch needed. mcsmurf will look into this.

FREEZE TODAY!

All SeaMonkey-specific patches from tomorrow until the Alpha 1 cut (unfreezing) need approval-seamonkey2.0a1+ (or being for blocking-seamonkey2.0a1+ bugs)!

  • bug 394522 prefwindow move
    • Status/Progress?
      • bug 444170 (Master Password) - Done.
      • bug 444411 (Browser > Languages) Assigned (stefanh Away). help-wanted to drive forward - IanN has started work on it, hoping to get a patch ready for review tonight.
      • bug 444582 (Download) Fixed except for Profile migration patch.
      • bug 445015 (Validation) - Waiting for reviews.
  • Other blockers? Status/Progress?
  • Blocker triage?
    • IanN started the triaging of blockers on behalf of the SM Council - 5 need further review, they probably need a council decision, and 2 new have been added which are unconfirmed - I will look at those 2 later today.
    • We have 7 bugs marked as blocking-seamonkey2.0a1
      • mcsmurf: to look at the two unconfirmed migrator bugs.
        • bug 452465 is an uncommon edge case. Should be minused.
      • bug 438793 mnyromyr: Treelines in DOMI and Venkman are fixed, I hope to finish Mailnews by tonight - these are the three critical places. If that doesn't work out by maybe Friday, I'll remove the blocking.
      • bug 418150 mcsmurf and Neil are looking into this.
      • bug 429187 minused. There's a workaround for most cases.
      • bug 419178 minused. Minor UI glitch.
  • Shipping target - is the freeze today still OK? When can we target actually shipping this?
    • Today midnight PST looks good.
    • We probably need to be in that freeze for a bit until the remaining blockers are fixed, but we hope we can cut Alpha 1 within those next two weeks. After that we will need some time for doing builds and QAing them.
    • KaiRo will coordinate with the Council and the Mozilla build team on where/when to cut Alpha and how to do that and builds.
    • What areas does freeze cover? (e.g. mailnews/ suite? - note: TB's freeze moved out by two weeks).
      • we can only freeze SeaMonkey-specific code.
  • Release notes
    • We need to gather a list of major changes to 1.1.x that this Alpha contains.
    • Should we restructure relnotes completely? Who can help with that?
  • Trunk versioning. After Alpha 1 is cut the trunk should bumped to 2.0a2pre.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

Major wanted/needed features:

  • bug 381157 Download manager.
    • Status/Progress? No progress at the moment.
  • bug 390025 Kill-wallet (password manager).
    • Updated LDAP patch
    • Now starting to look at SMTP.
    • This is also blocking Thunderbird 3 beta, but Standard8 is not sure that this will make it.
  • bug 382187 Places history.
    • Neil made the urlbar autocomplete ("Smart Location Bar") work just nicely.
    • We still need help to make the history window and the history sidebar work.
  • bug 36810 Session restore.
    • Status: waiting for reviews. Misak is keeping this patch up to date porting latest patches from the other browser.

Other topic:

  • Toolkit feature-freeze (beta 1 code freeze) now Sept 30th - what needs to land before that from our POV?
    • Toolbar customization patch.
  • Documentation should be redone, we need someone to work on that
    • one idea is to auto-import in-product help pages to website but someone would need to write up a script to do that.
    • Another idea is migrating end-user documentation from www.mozilla.org to seamonkey-project.org, reworking it to be current - help wanted!
    • Yet another idea would be to set up the SUMO system for SeaMonkey to get a knowledge base and web forums (we probably don't have the manpower for live chat support), some lose contact to SUMO people is here, but also help needed.
