Fx 3.1b3 (Shiretoko) – Status: Pending Code Freeze

Front-end blockers looking good: only ~20 blockers without patches remaining, only two of which are complicated

Polish bugs are continuing to get fixed; would love more help and community contributions on them

Moving into early planning and scoping for next version this week, should have something to report next week on that. Initial steps will be looking for wins on performance and code cleanup, as well as feature work that dropped out of Firefox 3.1

Beta 3 is getting close, update at tomorrow’s development meeting

GECKO

Gecko 1.9.1

10 Bugs still blocking beta 3. There are a few difficult bugs to work through–all are correctness issues or performance regressions that we cannot allow to be introduced. So, we’re fixing them, and solid progress is being made. Overall, stability is good.
Other areas are looking pretty good to wrap up blockers soon:
- 20 final blocker bugs left in content.
- 4 GFX final blockers.
- 6 Layout final blockers.
- 2 SVG final blockers.
- JS with 49 blockers (down from 53 last week).
Component leads are checking nom queues daily. 21 noms are in the queue right now.
For weekly engineering meeting notes and other info see the Platform page.
