Activities last week:
Fixed bustage, beta uplifts, few release activities for TB 56 beta 4, looked for and fixed regressions, 9 reviews, misc. bug fixes, sheriffing. List below. Notable:

  1. Review activities in the field of moving mbox write from unbuffered to buffered
  2. Review activities for a complicated security bug

Obstacles and impediments:
Slow reviews as noted below, seven and four weeks delay so far.
Currently no build/release support leading to: No automatic Daily updates, no L10n Dailies, complete test failure on Linux, failed beta build.

General remarks:
C-C tree status: Deteriorating (details below), no manpower to investigate various intermittent test failures.
Current known threats from M-C: Dev tools become system add-on.

Jörg.


Tree status classification: Green, Normal (some failures), Deteriorating (many failures, opt builds still green), Critical (opt builds with failures), Blocked, Doomed.

Currently we have no test coverage on Linux due to misconfiguration of servers (picture very similar to last week). Situation on Mac has improved.

Landed:

  1. ** {{bug|1395252}} FilePicker Show regression
  2. ** {{bug|1395481}} bustage-fix (strict bustage) with Aceman
  3. ** {{bug|1396218}} Mozmill bustage (fixed by M-C backout)
  4. ** {{bug|1395620}} fix chunking in IMAP download

Prepared patches now awaiting review:

  1. ** {{bug|1380799}} Date/time formatting in chat logging to use mozIntl (since 2017-07-17)
  2. ** {{bug|1320191}} Hotmail Deleted folder (since 2017-08-09)
