Firefox 3.1 Development

Development Update

  • large outstanding set of P1 blockers (lion's share in TraceMonkey/JS Engine)
  • moving code freeze for Beta 3 to Jan 25th to contain
  • goal will be to get to 0 P1s in all components ASAP and then cut into P2s until freeze; this should prevent significant delay to final release date for Firefox 3.1

(see development meeting notes for more details)

Daily users

  • ~ 250k users on the Firefox 3.1 Beta 2
  • ~ 11k users on Shiretoko nightlies

Beta 3 New proposed schedule based on code slip:

  • String freeze will maintain in place
  • Code freeze is January 25th, 11:59pm PDT
  • QA Start is January 27th, 9:00am PDT
  • Release is targeted at Feb 2nd, noon PDT

Support

  • Malware reports on the rise (redirected searches/pages, mostly, but also unblockable popups) 10 in a small sampling this week.
  • Do we have "official" things to say for users of unsupported OSes?

  • 4 locales green, not opted in (gl (red on windows), id, ka, uk)
  • 10 locales building and red, -2 far fetched (as, ta), -2 on the hook (ml, sl), further poke to bg, cy, da, ko, mn, oc?

Marketing/PR

  • Working draft of Web site update plan posted [1]

Roundtable

  • dveditz to drive a project to see if we can have a "check your plugins" site where users can go to determine if their plugins are up to date, and if not, find links to updates (see bug 391433 for details)
    • beltzner, johnath, chofmann asked to be cc'd
  • justin agreed to follow up with morgamic to ensure that we could throttle Major Update snippets on a per version / channel basis (to allow users to "Check for Updates..." to Firefox 3.1 on launch day, but not have the offer given to users who do not explicitly check)
  • beltzner to follow up with joduinn, nthomas, axel about code handoff dates
