Development Updates

Fx 2.0.0.16 / Fx 2.0.0.17 / Fx 3.0.1 / Fx 3.0.2 / TB 2.0.0.16

Shipped an updated Firefox to almost all of our users (there's a few stragglers on 1.0.x and 1.5.0.x) by shipping Firefox 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1. We're now in the process of approving patches and determining the schedule of Firefox 2.0.0.17 and 3.0.2.

In addition, we plan to hold a joint post-mortem for Firefox 2.0.0.16/3.0.1. Please add any agenda items to the wiki.

Also last week, we shipping Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 to beta users and intend to ship the final version this coming Wednesday, July 23.

A note on approvals for Firefox 3.0.2: If you expect a patch to get approved it *needs* to have an automated test or a clear description as to why it doesn't and, in that case, should have a Litmus test. Additionally, drivers expect the patch to land on mozilla-central (trunk!) prior to landing on 1.9.0. If there's a reason this hasn't happened, please explain why in the bug.
