Thunderbird 3 Beta 3

Thunderbird 3

  • Please set bugs to assigned status (as well as owner to you) if you want to do them.
  • If you have other bugs assigned to you that you don't want to do, please reassign or discuss with drivers.
  • Trying to put together a schedule that will land features every week or two. dmose will be putting a plan together.

QA Updates

  • Need better visibility on upcoming features in order to plan testing.
  • Working on getting more people to come testing.
    • Trying one query instead of 10.
    • This weeks testday: [1]
  • Last test day better than previous one.
  • Crash-stats seems to be usable - very responsive due to added db indexes.
  • Top Crashes ordered by assignee may need some triage

Marketing Updates

  • Good launch of Tb3 beta 2 and new web site. About 35k beta 2 users. Got positive feedback on the web site.
  • Working on next round of updates for the web site.
  • Participating with the overall Mozilla Community marketing efforts which is picking up steam.
  • Focus on the next few weeks is working on getting add-ons upgraded and supported from a marketing perspective.

Roundtable

  • Concerned about extra FF beta and effect on TB. Thinking about TB shipping before gecko 1.9.1 if it is possible.
  • We should soon have a person hired full-time to work on Thunderbird icons etc.
  • Timing for feature lock down?
    • looking at working it out in the next couple of days
    • possibly branch in approx 3 weeks, but may also be better to do as late as possible.
    • in general, reviewers will focus on reviewing blocking bugs, so other stuff will move out more. But helps to get releases out the door.
  • What's happening with Calendar, following the announcements?
    • calendar still isn't working on b2? (works for Standard8, they have been doing ongoing fixes).
    • what's the plan to make it move forward?
      • we are trying to figure it out
      • calendar team are looking to get a release of Lightning out on Beta 2 in the next few weeks.
      • Also looking to get a release out in sync with TB release.
      • Plan isn't nailed down.
    • Announcements has helped some people to come forward.

    • Proposed a patch for this, got review comments, need to improve.
  • bug 440794 - Implement policy for sending in background, pref off to begin with.
  • bug 457296 - Design interfaces for a separate service (i.e. not directly linked to address book) to determine allowing remote images to load or not.
asuth
  • work continues on gloda-search, hope to have a revised implementation that uses heuristics to assign a score to each message (rather than binning it by simply matching on contact, subject, body, or attachment name)
  • gloda i18n indexing correctness patch up for review (the problem is in the emitter/js emitter subsystem), but it will probably be a while before I get to the tokenizer problems.
  • once gloda-search lands, there is a bunch of performance work to still do; Wayne and others are experiencing memory use explosions that we need to understand and address.
