Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

• New smart reply button, with new fancy icons!
• Usual load of bug fixes (save attachment dialog, etc.)
• Nice discussion going on in the Google Group.

Compose in a tab

Progress is slower than expected: hit bugs in Thunderbird (no way to use HTML5 history with chrome tabs, no way to use onbeforeunload with chrome tabs, no favicons with chrome tabs). Slow progress trying to figure out how nsMsgCompose.cpp works. Some of the bugs led to bug reports and/or patches.

Ubuntu Unity Integration

• Unity Launcher extension jsctypes update released
• Ubuntu Messaging Menu extension is almost completely ported to jsctypes - should be finished this week
• Ubuntu One Integration
  • I've updated a patch that lets the address book UI display address books in the tree without using RDF: bug 422845

Trunk (Miramar) Development

• Alpha 3 released
• Branching for mozilla-2.0
  • thread on tb-planning
  • Should be happening today (mozilla-central is likely to re-open tomorrow).
  • Expect different tinderbox trees.
  • Will get info on tb-planning today asap.
• Expect comm-central and mozilla-central to break soon.
• 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 : feedback wanted !
