Highlights

• New Mozmill release: v1.5.21 that fixed a few bugs. We're green now!
• Mozmill add-on has been removed from AMO (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mozmill-dev/02HwCHWQFRA)
• MemChaser 0.5.2 has been released
• Nightly Tester Tools 3.4 has been released
• mozdownload 1.6 has been released (now with automatic retries)
• gaiatest 0.7 has been released
• b2gpopulate 0.4 has been released
• Gaia UI tests much more stable now that we're restarting b2g between tests (down to three tests failing on master)
• b2gperf 0.1.3 has been released
• Endurance tests now have a 5 second delay (increased from 0.1 seconds) to allow memory allocation to settle in a more realistic way

Roundtable

Add here any issues or topics you want to discuss with the team

• [Dave] What do we think of the new meeting format? Any other suggestions?
• [Dave] 'Ask an Expert' is a success! Should we make it twice a week?
• Mozmill styleguide - Clarify trailing new lines, and how strongly should we enforce this?
  • [davehunt] I suggest specify a single newline at the end of each file in the style guide, but as long as there's at least one new line (and not excessive new lines) we shouldn't block a patch on just this infraction.
  • [Andrei] Styleguide changes when fixing issues. We shouldn't mix them. If we write new code, adhere to the styleguide, but don't random fix style issues when fixing a bug, it leads to less comprehensible code changes.
• [Andreea] - AutomationBot from #automation to announce when a bug has been fixed
  • We do get this info on emails updates from Bugzilla, but for my email account at least, when I'm connected to the VPN I don't get any emails until I switch back. IRC on the other hand works (after restart).
• [henrik] Should we add support for different applications in the current Mozmill Dashboard or wait for the new one? We would need this for the Firefox Metro mode
