SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

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

CLOSED

K.I.V.

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says they don't want additional specific consumers of the service right now and want to enable some general way of accessing it "some time" - We can only wait right now. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (2) blocker requests (1) fixed (33)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, targeted for May 4, see Releases.
  • Builds probably start this week; builds on beta channel in a week at the latest.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1

open blockers (2) blocker requests (11) targeted (20) fixed (157)

  • We should start planning on releasing this alpha fairly soon, both to show things are moving and to get some more testing on that code.
  • What big things does current trunk offer (over SeaMonkey 2.0)? FF 3.6 and DevPreview relnotes provide some info.
    • WOFF format for website fonts.
    • Resizeable text areas in web forms (bug 442228).
    • Fullscreen video.
    • JIT tracing for x86_64.
    • async places expiration.
    • Expiration and frecency-ordered form field autocomplete.
    • Improved js-ctypes support.
    • Better performance on startup and shutdown.
    • SVG attributes which are mapped to CSS properties can now be animated using SMIL (bug 534028). Support for SMIL Animation in SVG.
    • Core Animation rendering model for plugins on Mac OS X has been implemented. Plugins which also support this rendering model can now draw faster and more efficiently.
    • Support for new CSS attributes such as gradients, background sizing, and pointer events.
    • Support for new DOM and HTML5 specifications including the Drag & Drop API and the File API, which allow for more interactive web pages.
    • Protection from out-of-date plugins
    • CSS :visited selectors have been changed to block ways that websites can quickly check a user's browsing history.
    • The SSL security system has been changed to fix a renegotiation flaw.
    • Support for CSS Transitions.
    • Support for WebGL, for Direct2D acceleration on Windows, and a new HTML5 parser (all disabled by default).
    • MailNews improvements?
    •  ?
  • What is "ready", but not in yet? Why?
    • OOPP: Code is all there, but needs libxul, which in turn needs external linkage of mailnews.
      • bug 545716 Use out-of-process-plugins (OOPP) framework in SeaMonkey.
      • bug 394502 [Meta] allow SeaMonkey to build with libxul. This is unlikely to make 2.1a1 but KaiRo hopes that it will make it for Beta1.
    • Places Bookmarks: Waiting for reviews.
    • Firefox Tabbrowser API should be in good shape for the normal review process.
    • about:support is easily doable once core parts are moved to Toolkit.
  • For when could we reasonably schedule freezes and release?
    • Tentative freeze on 4th May and tentative release on 18th May.
    • With about 2 months per milestone, a1 in May makes a2 in July, b1 in September, and a final in November.

SeaMonkey Bugday

Mozilla QA is holding a bugday on SeaMonkey TODAY!

More info on http://quality.mozilla.org/events/2010/apr/20/bug-day-seamonkey-general-bugs

We will be going through a large set of bugs in the "general" component and placing them into the appropriate component for higher visibility to developers. Identifying the right component allows us to more easily dupe, resolve, or escalate bugs.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 55 new, 14 fixed, 85 triaged.

  • A lot of the triage is KaiRo having done a pass over all open Installer bugs. Going over bugs by component is nice, see the component bug counts to find a good target for your triage!

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • status/progress?
      • KaiRo updated help for places history in bug 472873, waiting for approval.
    • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
    • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
      • No progress to report.
  • bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn't pay a price for having venkman installed [Mnyromyr].
    • Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.10 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration) which depends on bug 480851 getting fixed on trunk.
    • Mnyromyr hopes to get to look into venkman now that he's released Mnenhy 0.8.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].
    • Got something like r+, need to check what to do now

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie].
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
    • Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
    • status/progress?
  • bug 498596 Places bookmarks. [KaiRo]
    • KaiRo has try builds up, please test them. Still need to work out how to drive this into the tree without taking ages for it.
  • bug 480734 Satchel data editor ("Form Manager").
    • unowned so far.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
    • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. He's made good progress and is hoping to have DocumentTabs patch ready by Sunday. We're still trying to work out some organizational issues.
    • At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That's something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmose) At the latest during the Firefox summit.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
    • Still needs quite a bit of work.

    • bug 522023 is working on improving the browser globe in task icons, etc..
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.

    • bug 558614 Implement Firefox TabBrowser API: loadTabs() waiting for review.
    • I'm waiting for a list of methods that should be ported too.

We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+ Also the nominations need triaging.

  • We need to find a solution for Lightning, which is targeting Thunderbird 3.1 now.

  • Checked in long overdue patch for German help (bug 525434).
  • Discussed my proposal for expiring bugs that have been in the mass-UNCONFIRM batch 10 months ago and had no comment since then (i.e. had no comment in 5 years total now).
  • Posted on SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1 planning (see m.d.a.seamonkey).

wladow

Any other business?

  • review and superreview request lists are quite long and have a number of quite old entries. Everything from previous years should probably checked for validity. If your name is on either the "Requester" or "Requestee" column of any request older than this year, please check if it's still valid and cancel it if it's not. In some cases, reassigning to different people might also be in order.
    • IanN intends to go through all of the bugs in the Help component individually.
  • Move the meeting to another day of the week? mcsmurf is busy on Tuesday, any other day of the week is fine though.
    • Ratty would be fine with any other [week]day. A bit later at 1300GMT would also be better for him although this might make things worse for other participants.
    • KaiRo thinks that we can't decide with only the people who actually make it to the meeting. Instead we should leave the next meeting at the usual time and date and get some discussion in the news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey newsgroup.
  • Should we expire mass-UNCO bugs that are still without comments as they have gone 5 years without any activity, even though there was a warning and incentive for action 10 months a go?
    • Yes, I think we should do that -- mcsmurf.
    • Since there are no voices explicitly against it, KaiRo will post to that effect and propose a comment text to go with the expiring.
