Schedule & Progress on Upcoming Releases

Firefox 3.6.x/3.5.x/4.0.x

  • Rebuilding 3.5.19 and 3.6.17 today for bug 650522 (and adding 1 additional fix for 3.5.19 which already made it into 3.6.17)
  • We will not be rebuilding 4.0.1 as it is unaffected

    • We are investigating this today and tomorrow
  • Currently on track for 2011-04-26 but it is potentially at risk due to the ADU investigation above

  • Need to verify that the Firefox 5 Release Tracking list is as complete as possible -- the Product Marketing Managers and PR need a solid list ASAP. If you worked on something for Fx5 please check to see if it's on the list or not, and if it's not either add it or ping deb.
