Major Topics for This Week

Front-end

Working on Beta 1 blockers
Features (see Planning page)
- Project to remove tile manager is well underway
- Working on tweaks to the new Awesomebarscreen search provider layout
- Looking for feedback on the "two-taps" behavior for virtual keyboards
Working with Madhava on UX designs and loose ends

UX design

Working with Martell on the Android theme mockups

Maemo

Qt

some/more Tests should be running nightly!

Android

please provide feedback on Android theme mockups [1]
need to solidify our minimum requirements for 2.0
- screen sizes
- min CPU
- how to communicate

Electrolysis

jchen is working on cross-platform IME support under PuppetWidget (bug 591047)
- hopefully this will fix some of the maemo bugs as well

Waiting on bug 592017 (jsvals in messagemanager IDL), which will allow finishing touches on bug 584401, bug 584842, bug 575556 (through the messagemanager wakeup service, bug 591052). May need workaround (wrappedJSObject) if not ready in time.

MikeK is working on remoting geo providers.

Hoping to disable http cache, transport threads in child process. bug 559714

Layers

Some TODOs for b1.

General Platform

Geolocation

Video

Camera

Plugins

Performance

bug 359608 is almost done (suspend animations when in the bfcache). Can we force the browser to put everything in the bfcache (go to about:blank) when idle, to save power?

Deprecating IsLowMemory() predicate. Subsystems will still broadcast memory-pressure.

Networking

Core download manager work is done, a couple of bugs still in progress bug 589025, bug 567267, bug 591081

Graphics

Startup

Layout

Content

Release Engineering

looking at talos red
2.0a1 install status
pageloader oom should land during downtime
Android Unit testing
- working on integrating the tools from QA Automation into the build steps
- I've manually run the scripts to insure that the steps are working on the tegras

QA

Manual

New Bugs over the week: filed
QA continues to flag blocking-fennec bugs, so please keep on top of triaging! We'll be having another qa bug triage for next week
Results from nightly Smoketest runs. These are ran against Android, GTK, and QT
- no new blockers found.
New 2.0 features testplans popping up (awesomescreen, platform integration, RTL)
MobiFx Testday on 9/10
Welcome new QA member, Naoki Hirata! (irc: nhirata)

Automation

browser-chrome - need some attention, carryover from last week
- new test files bug 489163 and bug 570706 are blocked on awesomebar problem
- need review for bug 571865

talos
- tpan/tzoom? we should figure this out this week

[mochitest: green]
- 100% blocked on bug 590121 unless we do browser.tabs.remote=false, traction on this, but still broken
- bug 590248 and bug 587646 account for 60% of known mochitest failures on n900!, no progress on these two bugs?!
