Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Key Issues

(Non team specific issues that impact engineering.)

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Add-on SDK (dtownsend)

No update

App Tools (dtownsend)

• App Manager announcement
• Manifest editor has landed, preffed off

Firefox Metro (bbondy/jmathies/mbrubeck)

<Read Only>

• Front end polish and bug fixing continues.
• APZC: Kats and botond have come over for a short period to help out on all our of scroll and zoom issues. Lots of bug triage took place last week. Most every bug has been updated (bug 886321). Bug fixing will commence after a work week this week.
• After lots of feedback at the summit, we are seriously considering switching from a separate profile to a shared profile with desktop (bug 924860). Investigation into this is currently taking place. Some key notes:
  • Users would have to chose a default browser mode (metro or desktop) on Win8 and up. Only one mode would be active at a time.
  • Launching the browser from any location (shortcut/tile) would launch into the default mode.
  • Users would be able to switch from one mode to the other within each browser. This would shut down the existing instance and relaunch the other using the same profile.
  • Most everything would be shared, although certain user data sets (most notably bookmarks and prefs) would be kept separate.

If you have any thoughts/feedback on the above please post in the public metro mailing list (metro@mozilla.org), to the tracking bug, or chat with one of us in #windev.

Firefox OS Communications (scravag)
