2004-07-16 Branch builds

  • Fixed: 251473 - Allow extension authors to remotely bump maxVersion for a given extension version to prevent users from having to redownload an identical new version when they upgrade firefox where the only change is a newer maxVersion.
  • Fixed: 242254 - Implement nsIShellService for GNOME.
  • Since May 18: 248423 - config.trim_on_minimize no longer works.
  • Since ~June 2: 245327 - theme switch clears all tabs, disables their history, can't close these tabs.
  • Since ~March 15 or ~June 8: 246078 - URLs from other apps result in two Firefox windows or a window and an error dialog.

    Jesse, sorry to ask such a n00b-ish question…but what exactly do you mean when you say that the branch is on fire? Is that a good or a bad thing?

  2. Jesse Ruderman Says:

    “The tree is on fire” is a joking way to say “The code in CVS right now does not compile”.

    I’m seeing a few regressions in bangbang’s build: “Browse…” button in file upload controls are missing their text, and bug 251781.

    Jean-Marc: about the swedish öåä, this worked fine before the new find toolbar was introduced, so i dont think it is that bug. Somebody filed 251891 i just saw.

    That fix only went into the trunk so far. (Did the fix work on the trunk? If so, that’s pretty cool, because it was a small patch.)
