Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

• Bugfixes, released a3, then a4 and a5 because of last-minute issues that hadn't been spotted so far. Feedback seems positive on the mozilla-labs Google Group.
• Wrote a chapter of the Thunderbird FLOSS about Thunderbird Conversations, translated it to French, once it's released and integrated in the public version of the FLOSS Manual, will point AMO, the wiki and everything to that page as the official reference for documentation.
• Still the usual polish and minor improvements.

Trunk (Miramar) Development

• Alpha 3 - releasing today or tomorrow.
  • First release where we've run unit tests on the release builds on all supported platforms (only two failures, both known intermittent, reported)
• Trunk version bumped to 3.3a4pre - the next preview release is expected to be a beta release, but using alpha for now in case we slip in another alpha release.
• Branching for mozilla-2.0
  • thread on tb-planning, feedback wanted.
  • Probably going ahead with it this week.
• Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.

Thunderbird Stability & Security Releases

• Schedule for 3.1.10 is now up.
• Updater fixes now landed which will hopefully resolve the update issues we've been seeing (with mis-matched versions).
• SQLite upgraded to 3.7.4 which should fix a topcrash we've been seeing.
• Bug Lists: 3.1

QA Updates

• tester's mailing list is low traffic you should subscribe to be warned when testing is going on.
• The QA page is going under a lot of rewrite : feedbakc wanted !

Kitsune KB migration: [Project Plan], All English content and images move over were delayed a wee bit by missing permissions Localizers have been notified via email and tb-support-crew of a wiki page with complete instructions on how to localize their data on SuMoMo Kitsune with pre-converted files.
