There is a Branch landing plan on the mozilla.org wiki. Regressions from the Aviary landing should have the aviary-landing keyword.

This build has a lot of regressions. I recommend waiting at least until the end of the landing before downloading a new trunk build.

• Since Aviary landing: Toolbar items (back button, address bar) are usually not updated.
• Since Aviary landing: 272495 - Find toolbar is broken.
• Since Aviary landing: Installing extensions does not work.
• Since Aviary landing: 272504 - Live bookmarks icon, secure icon and hostname not displayed in status bar.

I'm comparing this build to 1.0 from the Aviary branch, so I'm not listing fixes and regressions. See the previous Burning Edge post for a comparison between the branch and trunk.

Trunk fixes and new features: Almost all of what's new on the trunk is in Gecko rather than in the Firefox UI, so it's mostly interesting to web developers, but these fixes seemed like they would be of general interest:

• 217527 - Left column on Slashdot is sometimes too narrow or too wide for its contents.
• 238493 - (Re)implement widget change caching. (Fixed problems where ads in pages would flicker into other parts of the page during page load, e.g. on Gamespot.)
• 97283 - Mouse wheel scrolling does not work for elements such as div using overflow - auto or scroll.
• 251986 - Keyboard scrolling does not work for elements such as div using overflow - auto or scroll.

Missing features: The plugin finder, the find toolbar, and the new tab/window options are branch-only for now. Merging will probably begin over the weekend or next week.

Regressions: I'm seeing many minor regressions, but none of them annoy me enough to keep me from using trunk builds. Partial list of trunk-only regressions. I'll keep an eye on vote counts and comments to see if any regressions should be red items in Burning Edge posts.

Stability: I backed up my profile to be safe, but I haven't hit any crashes or dataloss bugs in several hours of using today's trunk build.

Performance: I haven't tried to measure performance differences.

Extensions: The 7 extensions I use all work on the trunk. I had to manually enable some extensions that didn't advertise themselves as working in Firefox 0.9 (the trunk thinks it is 0.9), but that was easy: I just right-clicked the extensions and selected "Enable". It also made the Thumbs button disappear from both my toolbar and the Customize Toolbars window, but disabling and re-enabling the Thumbs extension fixed it.

From the roadmap:

Shortly after 1.0 is released we will resync the branch with the Gecko trunk fully and there will be a period of bug fixing and little feature work leading up to a release tentatively called "1.1" which will be our first release off the trunk.

Firefox 1.1 is targeted for March 2005.
