This page keeps the history of AMO: what we've been working on, when, events, pushes... Glossary:


2015-04-25 (saturday crisis)

It was reported that the signing of the 400 add-ons caused crashes of Firefox versions 28 and below (and derivatives) when doing a version update check. We thus decided to revert the signing of those add-ons until we find a fix for that issue.


2015-04-24

The auto/bulk signing script is finally ready to deploy to production after some extensive testing on -dev and stage. The signatures are done correctly, on the published add-ons, with the correct certificate, and the emails are sent to the add-on owners.

We thus decided to push to production, and run the script on a chosen list of 400 add-ons.


2015-04-23

Continue working on the unlisted add-ons feature. The tag 2015.04.22 that was planned to be pushed to production was not, because we decided we needed to send mails to the add-on owners.

/!\ cannot be cherry-picked on the tag in production, as it touches codes related to unlisted addons, which isn't in production yet.


2015-04-22

Continue working on the unlisted add-ons feature. Main change: there's now a waffle flag for the automatic validation feature, in prevision for the push to production of the unlisted add-ons feature. We're not sure the automatic validation will be ready, so it's now disabled by default until we turn the flag on.

It was finally decided that we should only auto/bulk sign add-ons that are compatible with Firefox, and only if

  • they are default to compatible and Firefox version >= 4
  • they aren't default to compatible (binary components or strict compatibility) and Firefox version >= 37

We tagged for a push to stage, and planned a push to production on thursday 2015-04-23.
