mkmelin

• Template:Bug 1411737 - crash for invalid X-Mozilla-Cloud-Part Header

sancus

• Spent all of the last two weeks trying to make heads or tails of Mozilla ops code for deploying AMO. It's non-trivial.
  • Uses a complicated combo of ansible, puppet, jenkins, amazon cloudformation and some other tools.
  • No documentation.
  • All that said, I'm close to getting the site working and it should be ready in time for the deadline next week(nov 10).

wsmwk

• cleaned up Thunderbird session bugs - see blockers https://mzl.la/2z2S2NA to bug 408338 - Thunderbird should have session restore
• cleaned up bugs related to bug 736951 - Long freeze, high CPU displaying/loading message with an attached EXCEL XML-file (single line XML file of 759 KB)
  • stuck on core bug 97956 - Loading a 698KB XML file is very slow (pretty printed with XSLT)
• arranging testing of security bug 1016524 - crash in MimeMultipart_parse_eof because of lack of nightly builds
• coordinating feedback about Thunderbird Council governance
• investigating why 900k Windows + Mac users are still on 45.8.0 (plus more on other older releases)
• NOTE: Bug 1409730 - Thunderbird 56.0b4 crashes are recorded as being 56.0b0 - so if you search on 56.0b4 on crash-stats you will not find anything
