The Burning Edge » Other http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge Developments in nightly builds of Mozilla Firefox Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:26:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 en Thread about trunk alphas http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2006/04/17/thread-about-trunk-alphas/ http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2006/04/17/thread-about-trunk-alphas/#comments Mon, 17 Apr 2006 18:14:05 +0000 Jesse Ruderman http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2006/04/17/thread-about-trunk-alphas/ There's an interesting thread on mozilla.dev.planning titled Scheduling a trunk alpha. With all the large changes for Gecko 1.9 and lack of alphas so far, there is concern that there aren't enough people testing trunk builds to find regressions quickly. Issues discussed in the thread include the frequency and naming of trunk alphas, milestones, or "known-good nightlies". If you're interested but don't want to read the entire thread, start with fantasai's summary. I'm curious what Burning Edge readers think of the various proposals.

Please point out errors, suggest better wordings for bug summaries, point out bugs I should have included but didn't (or vice versa), etc.

Firefox 1.5 beta, Firefox 1.5, and Thunderbird 1.5 will all be released from the Gecko 1.8 branch.

There were a lot of last-minute checkins before the tree closed to branch at midnight Thursday night. A last-minute checkin related to split windows went in, and the Mozilla Quality Blog is asking for help testing for regressions related to this checkin. My last-minute checkin caused at least one regression.

Now that the tree has branched, the trunk is open for exciting changes such as using Cairo for all graphics, unified storage of profile data, and other big Gecko 1.9 changes. To learn about other things that might happen on the trunk between now and when Firefox 2.0 branches, see "Mozilla 2" and "Firefox" in the Mozilla Wiki.

I have not decided whether The Burning Edge will primarily follow the branch or the trunk.

Boris helped by suggesting core changes to include.

I also added classes for builds on each OS, so people with personal Planets and similar aggregators can hide information about builds for platforms they don't use. Sample CSS files for aggregators: make fix/regression lists look like they do on The Burning Edge, hide non-Windows builds, hide non-Mac builds, hide non-Linux builds.]]> http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2004/09/09/new-classes-for-aggregator-stylesheets/feed/ The Burning Edge will return on Sunday http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2004/08/04/the-burning-edge-will-return-on-sunday/ http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2004/08/04/the-burning-edge-will-return-on-sunday/#comments Wed, 04 Aug 2004 22:34:07 +0000 Jesse Ruderman http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/?p=371 I look forward to seeing some of you at Mozilla Developer Day :)
