Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

IanN to arrange with Jeff to send a tee-shirt or something to Serge (FotFT).
- Serge is slowly working his way through his mail backlog. Thinks his ISP blocked IanNs emails as spam.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

All our machines are now all out of SJC1 are are now at SCL3 or SCL1 (bug 721516).
- Setting up SM VMs finished (bug 740613)
- Set up all SM Win32 Machines. (bug 768303).
- bug 744298 Straighten out OOB allocation for seamonkey HPs [fixed];
- The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup.
- cb-seamonkey-linux-01 is back in action, so we're now at 3 Linux build slaves.
  - Next on Callek's agenda is the linux32 VM build-up.
ewong and Callek are working on building on MSVC2010.
- bug 755626 tracks the progress of changing sea-win32-02 to using MSVC2010.
- Currently done. Trunk builds are now MSVC2010.
- SeaMonkey Aurora will migrate to MSVC2010 this week, Callek will likely do the switch/checkin on Wednesday if everything else looks good.
L10n Update: (2012-05-20): l10n buildbots are building again on all three platforms for be, de, en-GB, es-AR, gl, hu, it, lt, nl, ru, sk, uk, zh-CN and zh-TW. Still nothing since end of April for cs, es-ES, fr, nb-NO, pl, pt-PT and sv-SE.
- We currently have issues with l10n repacks on aurora/trunk, Callek didn't get time this past weekend to peek at it. The issue relates to some of the very complex build-system logic we have, so it will take someone with time and understanding to investigate (< 10 hours of work). Callek will try and work on this weekend.

Release Train

2.11b2 shipped June 14
2.10.1 shipped June 16
2.11b3 shipped June 23
2.10.2 planned (no ETA yet)
- in line with FF 13.0.2 "to help with uptake of Flash 11.3.300.262"
2.11b4: We'll spin b4 likely this evening, maybe tomorrow morning for a likely Friday release, unless 2.10.2 gets in our way.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
Addon Compatibility Listings
- Lightning beta matching 2.11b now available on AMO.
- Lightning Aurora builds are also back.
- We loaned Calendar a Mac machine, still technically managed by us, but attached to the Calendar buildbot.
Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
- sgautherie thinks that the current DOMi branches/tags are not suitable for automatic SeaMonkey branch selection.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

2.10 had ~74,000 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.10.1 had ~33,000 downloads so far.
- Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 12.7% on 2.0, 4.8% on 2.1-2.3, 7.8% on 2.4-2.6, 3.2% on 2.7, 5.6% on 2.8, 12.3% on 2.9 and 53.7% on 2.10. So, in the last two weeks, ~1.7k (an additional 1.3% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
- Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
- The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for "Legacy Platforms" e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to seamonkey-ppc (2.10 and 2.11b3 for OSX 10.5.8) TenFourFox and Tenfourbird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.10

open tracking (0) tracking requests (8) targeted (3) fixed (16)

One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
- 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
- The plan was that Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
  - Plan is to migrate ka users to en-US with an English dialog saying they are out of date, and a link to the all-locales page if there is a language they understand better. Current ADU of ka alone is 3-5 individuals, so low impact.~Callek
  - Callek and ewong were working on this but they didn't manage to get this done by the time 2.9 shipped. No new ETA unfortunately.
  - Seems like the ka locale maintainer finally turned up, so hopefully ka will be revived.

2.Next

Asynchronous load-on-demand livemarks (bug 730837) landed everywhere now (incl. 2.10.1).
[ewong:] Back in 2010 during the Dev meeting, IanN mentioned about the preferences being:
- Too Cluttered.
- Disorganized.
- Old fashioned look. Since Netscape4.
- Show fewer preferences.
- The next preference panel should:
  - Expose all preferences.
  - Different level of exposure for different people.
  - Should the next preferences be something along the lines of what bug 17199 proposes?

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 40 new, 23 fixed, 18 triaged.

Medium triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags: 32 review 10 super-review 2 ui-review 6 feedback

See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.

Roundtable - Personal Status Updates

Status Updates from developers - what are you working on, what's the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

Callek would like to call out a thanks to InvisibleSmiley for his efforts in triaging/and identifying specifically what about the nVidia drivers was causing blurry text in SeaMonkey. After that Callek found a MoCo contact at nVidia and after bit of back and forth we were able to convince them to issue a fix. This should be out in their next update (if its not already officially released by now).

Good First Bugs:

InvisibleSmiley has taken over bug 746110 (Expose click-to-play plugins preference in the UI) now; got r+, waiting for ui-r? from IanN (requested by Neil).
IanN notes that it would be good if we could identify some more "Good First Bugs" for the community.
Ratty trawled through his notes and came up with a first cut of possible GFBs. Note these are "port" stuff from FX/TB type bugs so are mostly cut and paste although sometimes they require some understanding since our code isn't totally identical and the patches need to be adapted to SeaMonkey. After a bit of non-discussion he filed several GFB bugs based on his list. See: Google groups post and Bugzilla listing.
