Firefox 2/Gecko 1.8.1 approvals
We getting very near to the Firefox 2 Beta final release. Gecko1.8.1/Firefox2 includes a large number of fixes for long standing bugs (some 6 years old!). As of this writing we have taken ~3300 bug fixes.Now that we are bearing down on the final release the time has come to concentrate on the issues that truly block the release. This means that the release triage team will not be accepting bugs unless they meet one of the following criteria:
- Regression/Bug in a planned 1.8.1 feature
- Regression from 1.8
- Security Issue
- TopCrash
- Memory leaks or other major performance issues
Reminder that the following rules still apply for all bugs:
- Has been on the trunk with no regressions reported in 2 days
- Must have a clear explanation in the bug of:
- Summary of the changes in the fix
- Risk assessment
- A reproducible testcase
- l10n impact
- Does not change any API
- Does not change website compatibility or rendering
This means if you nominate a bug or patch that does not meet this criteria it will be rejected/minused. Please keep in mind if your bug doesn’t make it there will be plenty of opportunity to get the fix in a later Firefox release.
As always we can discuss in dev.planning or at a daily 10AM PDT triage call.
