Metro [Weekly]

Elm to mc merge

• XPC Shell test work complete
• Sorting out Metro l10n issues next bug 769677
• Services move to gre work complete, still needs reviews to land bug 817076
• 5 bugs blocking bug metro-build w/work TBD
• 2 bugs blocking bug elm-merge w/work TBD (one of which is metro-build)

Rel-eng

• Planning to switch mc to the 8.0 sdk after the next merge on ~2013-01-06 bug 774910

Front-end

• Old Fennec event overlay trap finally gone, dom is now handling input directly
• W3C touch input support plus Winrt input event overhaul landed
• Lots of misc. updates and fixes

Stability Report [Weekly]

• A minimized testcase of the Yandex-related crashes would probably be very helpful, see bug 770238.
• Trunk crashes seeking assignees/investigation:
  • The signature of bug 696640 (nsFrameList::RemoveFrame) spiked in the last days, this now has a testcase and regression range.
  • The signature of bug 817342 (js::GCMarker::processMarkStackTop) is #2, reproducible and has a regression range.

Mobile

• bug 815684 is adding some logcat info to crash reports for JB, we hope that will help us diagnose some high-volume crashes.
• bug 775142 is fixed, needs to be pushed to aurora.
• bug 791441 affects nightly and aurora only, we are guessing that it has something to do with updating.

• 17.0 Release top crashes
• 18.0b1 Beta top crashes
• Aurora top crashes
• Nightly top crashes

B2G

• We seem to have almost no testing on weekends. For example, on Sunday, only a single crash report from a device came in! :(
• Current top-priority bugs are moving forward:
  • bug 811335 seems to be moving forward with the help of Julian Seward and Ted.
  • bug 814078 is still waiting for review, bsmedberg said he'll probably be able to steal the review for the CrashSubmit.jsm part, will need someone else to review the B2G part.
  • For the switch to RelEng-provided builds, Marcia and Naoki need access to pvtbuilds in order to conduct testing if symbols for those builds are resolved correctly on Socorro.

Snappy [Weekly]

• Nov 29 Snappy minutes

Startup & Shutdown

• BenWa added shutdown profiling (bug 799640)

Tab Strip

• Avi is working on a project to make tab strip 60fps on slow netbook (bug 815354)

Content

• Yoric moved SessionStore writes off the main thread (bug 794091)
• Jon changed GC to transition to sweeping compartments by groups, which should further reduce the number of noticeable pauses due to GC (bug 790338)

Tools

• Telemetry will be transitioning to enabled-by-default on Aurora and Nightly this month (bug 699806, bug 737596)
