Other Issues

  • 64-bit as supported platform for Windows, OSX and Linux
    • Linux builds have existed for a while, but unsupported
    • Josh has done some work on 64 bit OSX builds
    • No work to date on 64 bit for Windows
  • Can we ship 64-bit Linux for alpha 1?
  • are regressions from setCapture (on sites feature-detecting it) a problem?
  • out-of-process-plugins enabled or not?
    • watch to see how enabling it on m-c goes?

Tasks

  • go to build (includes version bump?)
  • start page (like this)
  • release notes (like this)
  • bouncer?
  • devnews post (like this) - highlights from release notes
    • should this also get sent to mozilla.announce?
    • also post to hacks.mozilla.org?
