Some test errors have appeared in Australis after merging (bug 906690).

DOM Window for add-ons

Irakli is working on a rewrite for windows and tabs. A patch is expected in the coming two weeks. (https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/pull/1207)

Add-on Debugger

A slight setback on bug 898559, needs to be rewritten in C++ now. Bug 899052 should be committed in the coming week.

SDK

• cfx.js
  • Erik thinks porting cfx to JavaScript may not be the best course of action after all.
  • Discussion about moving some of the functionality of cfx directly to the addon manager inside Firefox and having a thin JavaScript wrapper calling the manager.
  • Discussion about removing dependency tracking in cfx.
  • Suggestion about creating symlinks in the profile directory to an addon that's in development instead of running cfx run every single time.

• Fennec Test Harness with SUTAgent
  • May of may not be blocking cfx.js

• child_process
  • Jordan is working on it.
  • node-like API.
  • Works on Unix right now, tests on Windows are partially green.
