  • Firefox ESR 24.8.0 and 31.1.0 are also live.

  • Reminder that the merge is happening today

Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

RelEng (catlee)

(Repo, test, and other information for engineers from the release engineering team.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

<Read Only>

  • Past week's OrangeFactor: 5.01 (last week: 3.67).
  • Lots of fallout from pre-uplift landings (B2G feature landings, MediaStreamGraph refactor, etc) along with more infra issues.
  • Widespread Android 4.0 failures continue to be a problem - now being tracked in bug 1059797.

Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)

<Read Only>

  • [Overall numbers] look OK for 32 beta and 31 release.
    • 33 still has high numbers of Graphics crashes, probably mostly due to OMTC. Also, bug 1061693 tracking D3D11 crashes might be relevant.
    • 34 had a spike of OOM|small crashes, but hopefully bug 1053934 fixed that before moving to Aurora.

    • Other active work not locked to 34:
      • bug 996611 Skia for content everywhere (where everywhere excludes D2D) - we believe we have all the bug fixes we want, and the rest of the failing tests will be fuzzed.
      • APZ on desktop - side project, ongoing.
      • tiling on desktop - ongoing, week of 9/22 is the current target for landing "something".

    • bug 992267: Basic Odin SIMD support: implemented, reviewed, rebased, and landed \o/ - Great work Benjamin Bouvier and team

Layout (jet/dbaron)

Notable Landings

  • bug 967844 - (multi-layer-apz) Allow content from one scrollable element to fragment into multiple layers in order to fully support async scroll of out of flow content
  • bug 1059033 - TiledDrawTarget has a lot of overhead for some operations
  • bug 982338 - (osx-tiling) Use tiled thebes layers on OSX

Media (mreavy)

<Read Only>

    • Resolution adaptation due to load and bandwidth available now enabled for H.264
  • Major refactor of signaling code in webrtc (SIPCC) to tread-flatten it and remove dead or useless code
    • Should improve call connection rates considerably (we were getting bogged down in MainThread in things like multi-party TokBox calls)
    • No obvious significant regressions yet
    • Plugged a bunch of leaks
  • Turned off PeerConnection tests on B2G Debug emulator; it's too slow to be useful
