Current status and discussions

Critical Issues

  • Several critical bugs keeping us from moving from 24 to 31. Please leave these here until they're confirmed fixed.
    • Frequent POP3 crasher bug 902158 On current aurora and beta?
      • we won't have data/insight till next week, assuming the relevant builds are built. crash-stats for nightly builds is not useful - direct user testing of the fixed build is required
    • Self-signed certs are having difficulty bug 1036338 SOLVED! REOPENED according to the bug?
    • Auto-complete bugs?bug 1045753 waiting for esr approval bug 1043310 Waiting for review, still
    • Auto-complete improvements (bug 970456, bug 1091675, bug 118624) - some of those could go into esr31
    • bug 1045958TB 31 jp does not display folder pane with OS X

Why are we throttled? Because 1) waiting for TB 31.3, and 2) still hoping for bug 1045958 3) need auto-complete bug approved. Dec 1/2 is now release date.
