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.
