TEAM UPDATES

(Alphabetical order)

Gaia Architecture Work

• Telemetry library

   1198346 -- Addon Metrics has landed
   1167710 -- Telemetry Setting has landed
   1176986 -- Will land today -- working thru try errors on TV (??)
   1177099 -- Payload Compression -- In progress this week    
   1171685 -- FTU Ping IMEI hash -- In progress this week
   On track to finish initial set of features
   QA started testing yesterday.

• Web app bridge
  • Window to Window communication to do it synchronously
• Service workers
  • Not many updates. Possibly SW could be even disabled for content in 2.5
• SMS app conversion

   it's been decided we won't be able to do split views in a way that's good enough for the user, so we defer this until post-2.5

   still working on services-in-worker though. Still issues with the mozAPIs that need to be an iframe or in a hidden window -- performance issues, architecture issues. Worst case is that we'll load all services in-window, so it's still good to split the code in smaller services anyway.

• Music app conversion

       Built-in playlists landed

       Search feature is in progress and hoping to land that in a week.

       Working on performance optimization and integration test automation

• Contacts app conversion
  • Difficult decision to make: we will revert the view splitting from master to land it on a development branch for NGA, in order to keep stability and quality in master.
• Sync
  • On schedule to land the Sync feature disabled in 2.5 for bookmarks, history and passwords, and enabling the feature in master the day after.

Comms app

Talking this week: Updates:

   SMS: except NGA, coming soon is: we'll remove the dialogs for draft saving/replacing. Please report about any issues around drafts once this lands. (bug 1176976). We also work on improving the support of the low-storage condition.
