Development Updates
Fx/TB 1.5.0.10 + Fx 2.0.0.2
- Firefox 1.5.0.10 and 2.0.0.2 released on Friday 2/23
- An amazing job by everyone involved to push through a long, difficult road to get this release out.
- Some 2.0.0.1 users will fail software update due to read-only file issues from 2.0.0.1, but we need fix an issue asap that is preventing many other users from updating to 2.0.0.2. Plan is to serve complete.mars so users with modified builds can successfully run software update (is currently failing with partial.mars)
- Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 scheduled for release on Thursday 3/1
- QA is finishing up testing and bug verification this week
- Partner builds update
- Firefox 1.5.0.10 partner updates almost ready - eta: Tue 2/27
- New Kodak 2.0.0.1 build almost ready - eta: Thur 3/1
- Firefox 2.0.0.2 partner builds and updates are on hold until we resolve the issue with migration and default start pages.
- Major Update update
- Due to schedule slippage with 2.0.0.2, we need to decide on the best time to serve the major update. Mid/late March might be our earliest target.
- QA had previously tested 1.5.0.9 -> 2.0.0.1, but will need to retest for 1.5.0.10 -> 2.0.0.2 and verify that things work well on Vista.
TB 2.0
- Extending the Thunderbird 2 Deadline one week to 03/06 for Vista Integration, spotlight search integration and several bugs identified by Mozilla Japan.
Gecko 1.9
Firefox 3
- Weekly Meetings are now scheduled - participation welcomed. Next week's meeting info.
- Revised Product Plan and requirements document published
Other
- Sunbird/Lightning 0.3.1 maintenance release to handle US (and elsewhere) Daylight Savings Time changes shipped on 2/19.
IT
- Remora performance testing
- 1.5.0.10/2.0.0.2 release
Build
- In addition to the releases we're working on...
- Still working with IT on off-hours Tinderbox support; hopefully we'll have more to announce on that next week.
- Coop and IT have been working hard on getting more Macs for Community builds; we're working through the authentication issues to ensure those machines have access to the resources they'll need. We're likely to need some Tinderbox changes, so if you're a SeaMonkey, Lighting/Sunbird, and/or Thunderbird tinderbox hacker, and you can help us with these changes, the prize will be your very own Macs. See bug 371816 for details.
- In March, we'll be focusing on build automation work; we're tracking this work in bug 355309. If any of those bugs sound interesting, or you're interested in helping out, check out the bug, or mosey into #build.
