markh

• Landed a couple of "panel" features and patches to make Social use them.
• Landed the async form history patch after fixing an orange which caused it to be backed out.
• Getting my head around the e10s work and made a start on moving the form observer and autocomplete to an out-of-process message-based model.

mconley

• Jamun branch is dead - Australis work is happening solely on UX branch now.
• As per UX request, I've moved the star button back into the URL bar for now while I work on the new bookmark widget for Australis. Merged this change into UX.
• Fixed strange appearance of popups on OSX
• Been tackling randomly failing tests under browser/base/content/test. Very frustrating.
• Laid out a rough roadmap for the rest of the Australis work - viewable from line 330 onwards here.
• Started conversations with ZER0 from the Jetpack team about Australis impacts to the SDK
• Lots of reviews

gijs

Last week:

• One public holiday
• Australis
  • bug 855683 (JP tests) and bug 869939 (migrate stuff from addon bar to navbar) - blocked on decisions regarding addon-bar removal, talked with jetpack folks and mconley, posted to fx-dev, waiting on finalizing discussion there + ux feedback
  • landed bug 853083 (tabs left margin on windows without the app button)
  • lots of stuff about bug 853415 (weird overflow bug), seems we're now going to able to fix it by never hiding the navbar
  • Started work on never hiding the navbar in bug 870545 and bug 752434.
  • behind the scenes stuff about bug 658467 (tab label fadeout rather than ellipsis), looking hard to make work in a performant manner
• Other
  • landed bug 865316 (polish for OS X menubuttons)
  • still waiting for reviews on Fx reset tab restoring, and UX response from Limi on whether we care enough about tab groups
