Security

Security Reviews

Still outstanding / to be scheduled

• native JSON
• DNS prefetching

Booked but not yet completed

Tree Management

• Getting crash stacks for tests
  • Any remaining issues?

• Run unit tests on packaged builds bug 421611, bug 383136
  • Status?

Roundtable

• Turn off the SQL logging by default (file bugs on performance problems)
  • These warnings won't solve the problem, since you can't know whether you've fixed a performance problem if you don't measure it. Real bug: need performance tests for storage users, and storage itself.
• Consider localStorage feature land on 1.9.1, bug 422526
  • Did we have the security review? Land on Trunk?
  • see dev.planning thread on the topic
