Schedule Update

• 42 beta 8 live on Mobile
  • Soon on desktop

• the AMD bug has been marked as fixed: \o/
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772330
  • FYI, this bug was the driver for the RC (but RC is good for quality in general)
  • The marking fixed is mostly because we haven't seen it in this place in the binary since the workaround patch and dmajor left Mozilla.

Stability

• With dmajor gone, we are weaker in crash monitoring and investigation than before. The crashdebug@m.c group can be contacted for investigations, but they have less experience and are not working on stability full-time.

Aurora / Dev Edition

• Overall rate: 2.3 (target: <1.5) - browser: 0.9, content: 1.4 - red but improved, both compared to end of last week and to 42/41 with e10s
• crash in PLDHashTable::Remove(void const*) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213606 uplift coming soon
• KillHard shutdown crash/hang issues. Jimm has scripts to break down the signatures and help with analysis. They need some work and they should probably be integrated into socorro. This will be important for e10s rollout
  • http://www.mathies.com/mozilla/killhard.html

Beta

• Overall rate: 1.1 - back down to yellow
• bug 1213567 (window/plugin-related crashes) has a patch up and reviewed, will need uplift
• bug 1215195 (remaining layers::PImageBridgeChild::Write crashes) is 1.7%
• bug 1203199 (DeallocateCB) is 1.2%

Release

• Overall rate: 0.9 (back down to normal levels) - green
  • bug 1189940 (Win10 NVidia): bug 1194335 patch landed on beta in time for b8, so hopefully working around those crashes for 42

Mobile

• bug 1207642 (random hex crashes) has a potential patch up for review
  • Doing a 42 beta 9 ?
