  • Target/freeze dates? Sync with Firefox 3.5 beta 4 and/or Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 as much as possible?
    • Firefox 3.5b4 has a code freeze on 6th April and planned release on 14th April; unfortunately Thunderbird 3.0b3 is still TBD.
    • We will continue keeping an eye on Firefox and Thunderbird with a tentative freeze and release schedule for SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 in a mid-April time frame.

  • Usual reviewing and commenting.

KaiRo

  • Got lots of new ideas and visions for the future (of the world in general, not SeaMonkey-specific) at Lift09 in Geneva.

mcsmurf

  • Helped Neil and jag fixing bug 466994 New FAYT implementation prevents entering any text in text input boxes while search is active; would probably have been a SeaMonkey 2 final blocker
  • Created a patch for bug 470175 "Find as you type" should be stopped upon loading a new webpage
  • Looked at bug 481836 url bar autocomplete fills in nonexistant URL, strange things happen when you enable autofill because of the new Places code returning results the old code did not expect; Neil already had a patch for that one, need to improve one minor thing in the patch (match case-sensitive, not case-insensitive)
