• working on poptarts this week

dmose

    • very productive sessions, esp. module owners && new UX keywords
    • unstuck a few things; recruited a few volunteers to look at tb3 blockers
  • worked on slimming down daily triage tasks
  • driving work

nth10sd

• Lots of bug triaging, JS assertions in mail.

Standard8

• Reviews & Triage
• Few days holiday.
• Attended the test day. Fixed crash bug 489779 that was found during the day (send in background/later combination).
• Activity Manager
  • bug 489588 Hooked up activity manager events and processes to the status bar.
• Send in background bug 440794
  • Did a couple of patches reworking the notification system, so that hopefully will have something sane to be able to hook up automatic retry etc. Still needs some work to refine it.
  • Almost have shutdown protection working for the case where we don't get quit-application-requested.
• Content Policy
  • bug 480674 Formulate content policy for Audio/Video tags
    • Existing policy is adequate, except need to reword "Remote Images" to "Remote Content" - supplied patch for the rewording.
  • What's new page/non-message pane content display: bug 374578/bug 466527 Revised the patch for review.
• Leaks
  • We're still not (quite) in a position to tidy up our leak output in mailnews (due to bug 384339, then bug 438922 can be checked in).
  • However, took a brief look at leaks in xpcshell unit tests - Fixed some leaks due to the tests themselves bug 490468, and fixed one in address book import bug 490602.
  • Remaining leaks look minor or possible problems with how the tests tidy themselves up (or don't). Probably will schedule 1 day post b3 to take another look at resolving these.
• Old patch submission (these had been sitting in my mq for a while):
  • bug 490972 Change "string" attributes to "ACString" in nsIImapUrl which should save on copies/allocations (hence help perf).
  • bug 490969 Some random header include tidy up to reduce size of rebuilds when idl/headers change.

Next week

• Beta 3 blockers!

rkent

I return from my trip to Azerbaijan on Thursday night, but with 12 hours of jet lag and life to catch up with, it may be awhile before I return to normal. I've been working on adding a post-bayes filter context under bug 198100, which will allow filtering on junk characteristics. At the same time I'm hoping to provide a body filter capability to locally-stored IMAP in the same patch. This is the last major feature that I hope to land before b3. As I look at my assign list, I still have a number of minor non-blocking bugs in areas that I work in that I want to try to land in TB3. But I will also want to mix in some b3 blockers. Anyone who is familiar with my capabilities should feel free to suggest specific blockers for me to investigate.
