Roundtable

Status Updates from developers - what are you working on, what's the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

KaiRo

• Got lots of new ideas and visions for the future (of the world in general, not SeaMonkey-specific) at Lift09 in Geneva.
• Tagged, built and released SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 3, including website changes, announcements and automatic updates for users of previous alphas.
• Repackaged, tested and released 13 experimental language packs for that newest milestone.
• Tagged and built a first candidate for SeaMonkey 1.1.15
• As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.

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)

sgautherie

• Fixed SeaMonkey bugs:
  • bug 481337 Port |Bug 473905 - View All Headers mode leaks DOM nodes| to SeaMonkey
• Fixed Core/... (but SM related) bugs:
  • bug 482112 |xpcshell/head.js:160: Error: cannot open file '/buildbot/linux-comm-central-check/build/mozilla/mailnews/test/resources/mailDirService.js' for reading|
• And working on other areas... like
  • infrastructure to run tests
  • filing bugs for leaks in (TUnit and Reftest) tests
  • doing an (experimental) Windows mozilla-central SeaMonkey build, reporting to bug 470184 issue tracking; hoping for bug 464325 new tinderboxes.
