* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_4/Macaw Firefox 4 Macaw], the first update to Firefox 4, is slated to ship April 26th ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Code_Names why use a code name?]) | |||
** '''Fixes need to make it in by tomorrow, 2011-04-12!''' | |||
*** Fixes land on the default branch of mozilla-central and releases/mozilla-2.0. Mobile will transplant or pull from releases/mozilla-2.0 for their update | |||
*** If a bug is fixed on mozilla-central and hasn't made it for Macaw we will hg transplant it tomorrow. ''We don't want to do this as it adds risk...please take care of landing the fixes yourself!'' | |||
** If you have a critical fix for Macaw (the bar is high as Macaw is small and directed) not being tracked for the update, please set it to blocking2.0:? and send an email to [mailto:release-drivers@mozilla.org release drivers] with justification. Please note the default response will be "this can wait for Firefox 5". | |||

** We'll be deferring outstanding blockers and only focus on security bugs fixed in Macaw (so we don't 0day ourselves) | |||
** '''Fixes need to make it in by tomorrow, 2011-04-12!''' | |||
* The prompted update for Firefox 4 (3.5.x and 3.6.x → 4.0.1) is scheduled for 2011-05-03 | |||
