• Bug-owners: please try to find a little time (an hour?) and go through as many bugs as you can and add a few paragraphs about implementation strategy and test plan. This will be helpful for both QA and for convincing people to step up to the plate for new bugs, and the hope is that it will actually be a net win as far as time spent goes, despite requiring the time-investment up-front.
  • Please try and write at least one TestPlan this week

Status Updates

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.
• 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!

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.
