SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

CLOSED

K.I.V.

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says they don't want additional specific consumers of the service right now and want to enable some general way of accessing it "some time" - We can only wait right now. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (3) blocker requests (1) fixed (45)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, targeted for May 13, see Releases.
  • Builds probably start this week; builds on beta channel ASAP after that.
  • Three bugs are waiting for landing, they should do so soon to make this release.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1

open blockers (3) blocker requests (6) targeted (20) fixed (180)

  • New 2.1 Features are on their own page now, please help updating it!
  • We'll release this alpha soon, both to show things are moving and to get some more testing on that code.
  • Tentative freeze TODAY, can we hold that up? When can we move to releasing this?
    • [Ratty] we need to ship 2.1a1 without a broken new addons manager in case it re-lands on trunk.
    • Delaying freeze to next meeting might result in an even more broken trunk.
    • Agreed to freeze a1 now and go for a quick a2 at the next meeting. This would would fit in with the plan to cut a2 as soon as places bookmarks land (probably with a few days of baking).
  • Plans for 2.1: 6-8 weeks per milestone, a2 once places bookmarks have landed and baked for a few days, at latest in July, b1 in August/September, and a final in October/November (will also need to watch plans for Firefox to align ourselves where reasonable or needed).

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 37 new, 23 fixed, 2073 triaged.

  • 1981 of the triaged bugs have been mass-EXPIRED, 57 resolved on the bugday (which touched 135 bugs in total).
  • Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!
    • Ratty picked Error Console.

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • status/progress?
      • KaiRo landed the help update for places history on branch (bug 472873).
    • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
    • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
  • bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn't pay a price for having venkman installed [Mnyromyr].
    • Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.10 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration) which depends on bug 480851 getting fixed on trunk.
    • Mnyromyr hopes to get to look into venkman now that he's released Mnenhy 0.8.

In a second step, fixed Windows failures and some more cases, filed followups for more tests (bug 562705) and potentially hiding items (bug 562711).

  • More work on project area tool at http://dev.seamonkey.at/?d=x&i=project&m=i
  • Filed a bug and poked people for new-style bug flags for 2.1 (bug 560523), poked people for getting those created (thanks to reed and justdave!) and finally triaged old flags and requests to new ones as much as possible. Filed bug 562102 in the process to possibly get flag change mails on those new-style custom fields/flags.

  • Did some small local updates on my places bookmarks patchset (bug 498596) and got some good feedback from try build testers - no major issues, but some small things. Worked on some of the bugs then, also wrote a small tool to detect potentially unused strings and filed bug 563031 to kill unused strings from Firefox places as well.
  • Landed a major update of German help (bug 560833).
  • Discussion of tree reds so we get SeaMonkey greener in this last week before the alpha freeze. Thanks to Bas, Standard8, and everyone else who helped there!
