Release Notes

QA Status/Topics

Build Topics

  • Status of ref platform for Windows, Mac & Linux [requirement for M8 release]

Localization Topics

  • First l10n builds with M8. If we do so, it will increase total build time. Will the strings be frozen by then? or at least slushy?

Round table

  • Don't forget to add changes that may impact documentation to the Firefox 3 for developers page.
  • reminder to use #granparadiso on IRC for discussion of milestone-releated deliverables, features, QA testing, etc; it's to be the defacto location for chatter regarding Gran Paradiso releases
  • when is the best time to land the next sqlite upgrade? (still a little bit of work to do before that becomes trivial)
