Thunderbird 3 Beta 3

  • Planned Freeze Dates ( All dates use time of 23:59 PST )
    • Slushy String freeze date: 2009-04-28 (Tuesday)
    • Slushy Code Freeze date: 2009-04-30 (Thursday)
    • Firm String / Code freeze date: 2009-05-05 (Tuesday)
    • l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 freeze date: 2009-05-07 (Thursday)
    • Target Build Ship date: 2009-05-12 (Tuesday)
  • dmose is release driver
  • gozer is build engineer
  • Six weekly milestones ([m1] - [m6]) 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.
    • davida driving [b3ux]
    • davida: too many bugs? slip or cut
      • various discussion; general feeling seemed to be that shipping was very important
  • 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.
    • Please try and write at least one TestPlan this week

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.
  • Standard8 starting to pull together plans for the release.
    • eg nailing down specific dates

      • branch comm-central just before b3

Standard8
  • Reviews & Driving
  • Holidays (Easter)
  • First patch for bug 466527 "Setting the mail start page to non-redirects causes bad display of what's new tab" updated & pushed.
  • Came to the conclusion that the patch written for bug 485395 (Never prompted for password, so auth always fails - log in failures with % or @ in username) was sufficient, therefore posted for review.
  • Mozmill
    • More experiments - filed bug 487385 and bug 487391
    • Now in a position where we can try and move forward with getting versions of scripts that can run TB + mozmill for bloat and for automated tests.
    • Helpwanted: expand the current patches for TB + mozmill scripts to cover what we need, full explanation and what is wanted Bug 458352 comment 3
  • Send in Background
    • bug 440794 Wrote patch to start integrating send in background with the shutdown service - this doesn't work completely on all platforms because of bug 459376 doing WIP patch. The integration will ensure that if we are already sending an email when we try to shut down, we'll wait until we have sent it before continuing.

Goals for this week:

  • Send in background
    • Expand shutdown to cover pending messages to send.
    • Extend policy to cope with failures to send and deal with re-sends.
