Last week

- Mostly working on the pan-zoom patch queue:
- Fixed up some pinching/panning behaviour
- Put up a patch for having per-tab scroll/zoom information
- Put up a patch for saving/restoring scroll/zoom information for the screenshot
- This morning: fixed a bug causing crashes on Honeycomb
- Hopefully figured out what was causing the pan-zoom build to fail tests
Next week
- Continue working on pan-zoom issues

Blockers
- Need to land birch-pan-zoom! Working in patch queues has very high overhead, and generally is FAIL.

Round Table
Testing
Talos has been random orange since last thursday. We need to address this. I propose we back everything out since the last solid green (Doug's push on Wednesday). People will need to reland their patches after that.
Going forward, we may need a birch sheriff or some other mechanism to make things better.
QA
- P0, P1 features have all been assigned to Test Owners. Next step, testcases; bug triaging; testday (this friday)
- Flash is now on Aurora are we still planning on disable by default?
- Crash report changing from this to more simplified version of Native only crashes.
- will continue to report and monitor other channels, report is just simplified
- If there are any more improvements to make it easier to look at please let nhirata know.
- big crash following the quit - bug 700720 (not in the current report as of yet) Kats got this fixed.
- Performance :
- Working with Waverly to crunch numbers
- cTalbert has stuff automated as can be seen in elancaster's video; missing part is that it needs to log to a server. he will have something towards the end of the week.
Other
- (aki)
- Tegras have low wait times + are afaik on par with n900s. Is there anything preventing us from turning off Maemo builds/tests?
- Who should I speak with re: Android single locale repacks?
- Do we still have a need for linux qt builds?
- Do we need mobile desktop builds on checkin on all branches?
- Now that FF8.0 has shipped, and 7.0 is EOL'd, we're going to close out remaining maemo bugs.
