Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases
Firefox 4 (Desktop)
Firefox 4 (Mobile)
Firefox 3.6/3.5
Firefox 3.6.14 and 3.5.17
- Still investigating the startup crash "regression" on 3.6.14 (bug 633869)
- Looks like it's caused by frankenbuilds...older dlls and updated exe
- Not sure if it is a regression, happened before (and on mozilla-central)
- Investigating if we made it worse with 3.6.14 changes
- Adobe is pressing for a release due to a public CSRF issue
- Once we get more data today, deciding proper way forward
- Option 1: Release what we have for 3.6.14 and 3.5.17
- Option 2: Release 3.6.13+CSRF fix as 3.6.14 and the current 3.5.17
- Option 3: Release 3.6.13+CSRF fix as 3.6.14 and 3.5.16+CSRF fix as 3.5.17
- Seamonkey release is dependent on 3.5.17 and Thunderbird is dependent on 3.6.14
Firefox 3.6.15 and 3.5.18
- Waiting to send draft schedule until 3.6.14/3.5.17 are resolved
Firefox Sync
Add-on Builder 1.0a9
- Builder 1.0a8 was release last Thursday and has been very well received by users. I saw an immediate up tick in account linking from AMO and add-on creation through the Builder.
- Unsolicited-real-life-true-story feedback: "Great, I have it [my add-on] working now. Mozilla also updated the online addon Builder so it's clear where your data directory is, very nice. Thanks for your help." - "..the text editor is a LOT better :)"
- Starting with 1.0a9 there will be a change in the release structure, most notably, the addition of a maintenance release two weeks after the preceding feature release.
- Still gunning for a beta 1 after release 1.0a10 (two releases away)
Add-on SDK 1.0b3
- froze today at 11am
- many bug fixes landed, plus big docs improvements
- loader and e10s changes missed (loader changes should land early in 1.0b4 cycle; e10s changes still TBD)
- RC1 scheduled for today
- release scheduled for next Wednesday, February 23
Input 3.2
- release date: 2/22
- lots of refactoring
