    • Stats for latest 27.0b with Mozmill 2.0:
      • 1192 ondemand update tests => 35:43min - 2s / test
      • 57 ondemand functional tests => 24:30min - 26s / test
    • The new Ubuntu 13.10 nodes are online now in production. 13.04 will go away soon
    • Still issues with jsbridge disconnects (bug 956315) due to a still in use socket after a Firefox restart. There are a couple dependencies (like zombie processes) we have to fix first and which might cause this problem. But thankfully in the last days the rate went down a lot
    • A lot of Cycle Collector crashes are affecting us for Firefox 28.0 and 29.0 (see bug 959562), and which still need to be investigated by Cosmin
    • Since late Dec we haven't had another Jenkins crash!! It might be that the latest improvements were fruitful
