General Planning

QA Updates

Bug day results constantly updated in a spreadsheet. UNCO Graph continues to look good.

Last Test Bug Day Thursday 8th May 2008

  • QA testplan
    • Low number of participants (noted in m.d.a.t that we hit EU vacation season)
    • Litmus trunk tests largely NA, so unused.
    • Used Alpha 1 build and Rumbling Edge release notes.

Next Test Day

  • prior to alpha 2?
  • driver?

Next Bug Day Thursday 15th May 2008

  • Adds recent bugs with no comments to the mix (bugs <60 days old)
  • wsmwk largely unable to participate 05-15 due to travel
  • wsmwk unable to participate 05-22 due to conversions scheduled @work

Current bug break down and recent activity

Roundtable

davida:

  • Start page for 3.0a1 is pointless, as 3.0a1 uses chrome URL for that. To fix when we do the Shredder branding. bug 430762

Standard8:

  • Shredder Alpha 1 testing.
  • Reviews
  • bug 418777 Fixed LDAP autocomplete not working for authenticated connections.
  • bug 433307 Tidied up nsMsgBiffManager implementation and switched to use nsTArray rather than nsVoidArray (type safety improvement).
  • Automated tests
  • Switch to Toolkit's Password Manager
    • bug 419595 Reworked nsLDAPURL so that it will provide correctly formatted inputs as required for toolkit's password manager.
  • Switch to Toolkit's Autocomplete
    • Initial build config patch bug 370306
    • Started syncing some more of xpfe towards toolkit to make the conversion easier bug 309081

nth10sd:

clarkbw:


rick:

  • 3.0a1 rc built.
  • initial stab at momo infrastructure (at least, in terms of # of vm's, macs)

dmose:

  • Bits of 3.0a1 driving work
  • Lots of catching up on email, blogs, reviews, etc.
  • Started thinking about sub-modules for reviewing
  • Started entering data and working with OmniFocus in an attempt to get more organized

beckley:

  • Working on auto-opening mailboxes that receive filtered messages
  • Helping sid0 with debugging and the Bugzilla/CVS process.
  • Will be offline next week, on vacation: 5/18-5/26.

emre:

  • Didn't work on bugs last week.
  • Holding dummy protocol implementation work until extending the protocol mechanism becomes a priority.
  • Data storage and search mechanism diagrams will be up after this meeting. Combined, they provide good understand of the design in-place and about how to extend the search features in back-end. Couple ideas are:
    • Develop an add-on to experiment sqlite based searching.
      • Pros: relatively isolated from the rest of the system, minimum impact/change on the current code
      • Pros: both the existent mechanism and the new one are functional at the same time for experiments
      • Cons: most likely, the code is not reusable
      • Cons: more coding, and add-on mambo-jambo (I think this is a technical term)
    • Replace the existent search mechanism by;
      • extending nsIMsgSearchAdapter interface
        • not sure how much work needed.
      • simply replacing the current implementation of nsMsgSearchOfflineMail class
        • simple and dirty. Relatively difficult to share with Bryan and others since it requires patching and compilation.
  • Imap offline improvements: Dale hasn't got back to me yet
  • Hasn't talk to Bryan about my findings yet
  • Next week;
    • I want to work on bugs assigned to me that I couldn't find time to work on last week.
    • I plan to developan experimental Sqlite based search mechanism - if we decide to go on this direction.

asuth:

  • Created tag meta-bug: bug 432710
  • Lots of work on deleting-lots-of-messages bug 296453. I think I have addressed all of the fundamental issues, although there's the question of...
    • Should we have a folder-events-only event stream that people can listen for, so they don't have to receive all the message events and just filter them out?
    • Created page on threading and the preferences that affect it in the process: MailNews:Message_Threading.
    • (Still need to log a related bug or two and try and get some unit testing for the topological sort logic.)
  • Touched base with clarkbw on search.
