FIREFOX

  • Firefox 3.5
    • 1 blocker left and it’s actually already done!
    • monitoring code freeze and helping where possible by finding regression ranges, etc, looking to help QA with testing phase as well
  • Firefox 3.5 Beta 99
    • planning on shipping a final “beta” release to get the 6 weeks of fixes out to our beta users
    • this isn’t a “proper” beta, rather a quick release to help find blockers for final
    • hoping to ship soon (today or tomorrow)
  • Firefox 3.6 (Namoroka)

GECKO

  • We’ve hit zero blockers at least twice, BUT three code related blockers remain.
    • All three are JS.
    • Two of those have a fix and are in process of being finalized. Only one remains.
    • We’re blocking on correctness issues, found mostly by JS fuzzers. One plus one should equal 2.
  • Since most of the team has wrapped up 1.9.1 blockers, we’re focusing on (and have been for a while) future projects and the remaining planning. Watch dev-planning for conversations on the next release.
  • Welcome Irina Calciu from CMU!
  • For weekly engineering meeting notes and other info see the Platform page.

    • Heads down on beta 3 work; waiting for search landing before resetting beta3 dates.
