Blogged about the joys of getting IntelliJ IDEA working for Fennec development Spent far more of my week than I anticipated getting the search preferences system (bug 895423, bug 898151, bug 892113) to land. Although an earlier version had a green try run, the changes requested later introduced oranges which I omitted to test for. Whoops. Ended up missing the boat for 25, but at least it's now landed so will be going out with 26, provided it doesn't explode in the interim.

• In Progress

Continued work in the direction of getting ProGuard to work - will be submitting a patch for bug 794981 in the coming days, taking us a step closer to a ProGuard patch that is actually neat. Started work on the customise addons screen - seems the entire preferences overhaul patch series are landing in 26.
