Notices / Schedule
- We are here in the schedule
- Beta 5 will go-to-build this evening PT (2/28). Please nominate/land any applicable bugs asap. If you have a bug currently nominated for mozilla-beta approval, please make sure to be available after today's 2-3PM PT channel meeting to land approved bugs once we complete our discussions. Alternatively ping akeybl in IRC to expedite the process.
- Code freeze for FF11 is this Friday (3/2).
- Final sign-off for FF11 will be scheduled for next Wednesday (3/7). Details to be announced on dev-planning
- The next ESR is going to build early this Friday. Please see the ESR tracking list and the landing process and ping lsblakk on IRC if you have any questions.
- Please see our Channels Triage queries to find tracked bugs for each release. Please let release-mgmt (@mozilla.com) know if any of these bugs no longer need to be tracked or need support from QA or the crash-kill team (for Socorro/crash-stats data).
Firefox Development
- Marco Bonardo landed the livemarks re-write - this was a big chunk of work which has plenty of benefits, including no more synchronous IO, and less entanglement with the rest of places (bug 613588)
- Paolo Amadini has flipped the default value of the "load tabs on demand" pref, which should help with responsiveness during session restores and memory use for large profiles (bug 711193)
- Frank Yan's about:home revision that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago is very close to landing, just need to sort out coordination issues with the server-side snippets service (bug 711157)
- Silent update: Brian landed the remaining patches for the UAC dialog work.
Firefox Developer Tools
- CCDump - Blog post
- B2G debugging - Blog post
- Pseudo-class lock landed bug 707740
Add-on SDK
- SDK 1.5 shipped last week with preliminary mobile support
- Add-ons using SDK 1.3 will need to repackage against a newer SDK to support Firefox 11
Performance
- Snappy weekly summary
- Livemarks are now async thanks to Marco (bug 613588)
- There was an increase in negative feedback regarding Firefox 11 beta relative to Firefox 10 beta on SUMO. Cheng and Taras are investigating.
- Olli and Jan cooked up about:ccdump addon for assist with finding leaks. See Jan’s blog post for more details.
- Bill landed incremental GC this week, bug 719492. Most users will not benefit from incremental GC until Bill finishes up handling frequent “corner cases” that end up disabling incremental GC.
- Avi ported his smoothscroll logic to C++, Jared pushed it to the UX branch (bug 206438. If you are interested in fluid scrolling, give it a try, play with acceleration prefs to help us find optimal values.
GFX
- Fennec "maple" builds are getting usable, and we could probably use more technical eyes on them.
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-maple-android/
- This is "off-main-thread-compositing", or OMTC.
- Probably not ready for every-day use, but already much more usable on anything with an Adreno GPU (Nexus One, HTC Desire HD, etc).
- Known issues: Some jankiness, some WebGL issues (i.e. upside-down on some devices), some checkerboarding issues.
- File whatever bugs you find in Core :: Graphics, and put "MAPLE" in the whiteboard.
- Note: This testing is only needed on Android devices; desktop should be unaffected by these changes.
JS
Layout
Notable Patches:
- bug 726582 - Prevent nsSMILCSSProperty::ValueFromString from reading uninitialized out-param
- bug 614732 - For SVG leaf frames, use mRect to store the frame's user space bounds, and stop using it to store its covered region
- bug 725903 - PathExtentsToMaxStrokeExtents needs to take a transform argument.
- bug 725897 - Remove the inaccurate nsSVGUtils::ToAppPixelRect, and use nsLayoutUtils::RoundGfxRectToAppRect instead.
- bug 707959 - followup, move font cache telemetry into gfxFontCache::Lookup.
- bug 725376 - Don't do column balancing deeper than 5 nested levels to avoid hang.
- bug 718516 - Replace call of FinishReflowWithAbsoluteFrames() with FinishAndStoreOverflow() for nsColumnSetFrame to prevent crash.
- bug 718516 - Remove call to FinishReflowWithAbsoluteFrames until nsColumnSetFrame is fully implemented as an absolute container.
- bug 724776 - Change SetForcedCharset to BrowserSetForcedCharacterSet.
Video
DOM
WebAPI

Network
Identity
Plugins
Mobile
Accessibility
Tree Management
- Dongles installed on all OSX 10.7 test slaves - test results and wait times should be better now

Stability Report
Socorro
- Correlation reports for Aurora and Trunk are available in subdirectories of https://crash-analysis.mozilla.com/crash_analysis/ starting with today as bug 723182 is fixed now (for some reason Socorro isn't picking them up correctly, but this whole mechanism is a bit wonky and will be replaced with a better model in the next months anyhow). Will work on getting the version for the next Firefox cycle there near to the source uplifts.
- Next incremental Socorro release landing on Wednesday - no big changes, a couple of skiplist additions, fix for bug 724670 which unbreaks report lists for some Java signatures.
- Stackwalking fix for MSVC2010 (and possibly browser-side hang signatures on FF11+) could also land with this release on Wednesday, see bug 726570.
- Main focus of work for next release is ESR support.
