Thunderbird 3 Beta 3

  • Planned Freeze Dates - Updated ( All dates use time of 23:59 PST )
    • Slushy String freeze date: 2009-04-21 (Tuesday)
    • Slushy Code Freeze date: 2009-04-23 (Thursday)
    • Firm String / Code freeze date: 2009-04-28 (Tuesday)
    • l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 freeze date: 2009-04-30 (Thursday)
    • Target Build Ship date: 2009-05-05 (Tuesday)
  • dmose is release driver
  • gozer is build engineer
  • Five weekly milestones ([m1] - [m5]) have been created to help spread out b3ux feature work across the milestone and avoid lots of hard landings / misses at the end of the cycle.
    • please update status whiteboard with status of your bugs for the next week's milestone by the end of each Thursday, dmose will poke these on Friday
  • Bug-owners: please try to find a little time (an hour?) and go through as many bugs as you can and add a few paragraphs about implementation strategy and test plan. This will be helpful for both QA and for convincing people to step up to the plate for new bugs, and the hope is that it will actually be a net win as far as time spent goes, despite requiring the time-investment up-front.

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.

QA Updates

  • One year bug day events - in progress, second day coming up
  • Nice proposal for 30 minute test plan proposal with a good example for Thunderbird:TestPlans:Poptarts.
  • Organizing Test days for Beta3
  • Talked with Raphaël to update 2.x beta channel users. It makes sense to update them after 3.0b3 is out.

Marketing Updates

  • Over 90% of users are now on Thunderbird 2.0.0.21.
  • Getting 7 - 12 new questions/issues a day with GetSatisfaction. About 300 issues reported so far, several dupes. The main issues people are seeing: 1) installation/upgrade, 2) password issues, 3) account configuration.

    • bug 461660 "Allow remote images in HTML mail" state not saved across restarts

Most notably working on bug 474701, gloda-search. Doing this right has resulted in an exciting refactoring of the front-end code involving nsMsgDBView and friends. Currently finishing up the refactoring and starting on implementing mozmill tests to be able to prove that it works.
