Agenda
- Alpha 1 Status
- Firefox 2 Feature Status Roundtable
- Any other business
Alpha 1 Status
Features
- Places infrastructure (performance, stability, toolbar drag & drop)
- now on trunk, ready for branch?
- estimated time remaining for A1 readiness
- Undo Close Tab
- pushed to A2?
- Tab Overflow
- pushed to A2?
- Extension Blacklisting
- patch reviewed and landed?
- Extension Dependencies
- landed, no regressions
- Search Plugin Format Changeover (with sherlock import)
- patch reviewed?
- Spell-As-You-Type (english only)
- we are clear to ship en-US with the product
- all other dictionaries must be downloaded explicitly as XPIs, mscott maintains a list of these extensions; these are the same dictionaries/problems that OpenOffice has.
- enable this on branch by default? where do we package the dictionary file?
- (cbeard: we can do better, perhaps we can license or buy dictionaries and release under a compatible license? rebron is going to dive into this. we should continue on the current path regardless.)
- Instrumentation Infrastructure
- landed on trunk?
- RSS parser
- SAX parser bug 315826 and dependencies finally got reviewed. Documented and almost ready to land. bug 325080 contains working RSS2/RSS1 parser w/ some Atom support. Need to cover more pathological cases and finish Atom. [-RS]
- RSS content detection (?)
- has this landed for branch?
Release Issues & Timing
- version number for A1 will be 2.0a1, trunk will be 3.0a1 (see MZ forums post by mscott)
- still have to make the patch to rename trunk/branch
- trunk will become browser/3.0a1, 1.8_BRANCH will become Bon Echo/2.0a1
- plan is to promote this as developer only release, low-key announce
- any updates from QA/Software Update questions raised last week?

Inline Spell Check
- we are clear to ship en-US with the product
