  • bug 483980 - Allow history/bookmark observer components to register with a startup category has landed!

• mak
  • Just back from vacation, catching up with mails, some Tsnappiness bug and dynamic containers to unbitrot, would like to clean up existing patches by end of the week.
  • Need to publish proposal on m.d.a.f. for livemarks conversion sprint once dynamic containers are available.
  • Would like to start with some Migration components sprint (JS porting and removing of obsolete migrators).

• adw
  • Async query containers bug 490714
    • Working on pushing sorting down to SQL: bug 499990 - Adding locale-aware collation to storage: ran into little hitch with platform-dependent thread-safety, so it's not done yet. Need sr on a new patch addressing sdwilsh's r+ comments. Will turn attention to bug 499985, the Places portion, when I'm not working on the Ts sprint.
  • Jetpack stuff, we released 0.3 last week, was busy on that: bug 503466 - simple storage, demos, and bug 503116 - Twitter library improvements.

• ddahl
  • Unbitrotted and added macros to bug 480735 builds, but needs ac_add_option, as well as a better JS timer.
  • posted startup timeline viz code to related bug 503605
  • tweaks to a storage test used by async locationbar
  • Small testing tweaks to bug 501259 Jetpack PageMods
  • Changed the date updater in bug 480430 places db generation to handle updating at arbitrary times - like every week or month instead of every day.
