Roundtable Highlights

  • Sid0 and Standard8 have been working on improving the failure reports on tinderbox, especially for crashes. A little bit more work and should be able to get crash stacks for MozMill tests on any platform if they occur. See Test Infrastructure Status for the current status.
  • Standard8 created the Thunderbird Bugzilla Helper jetpack. Probably mainly of use to QA, but also useful for others.
