Tree Closure for Gecko 1.9 Alpha Release
The tree will be closing right now for the Gecko 1.9 alpha; only bugs that have been marked as blocking1.9a1+ (in the status whiteboard) should be landing. This is the first of many Gecko 1.9 alphas, so if something does not make it in, don’t panic — there will be another alpha in another 6-8 weeks (and every 1-1.5 months after that). If you have a small important fix that you feel needs to be in this alpha, please talk to vlad, bz, schrep, or stuart.
The tree will remain closed until we have builds done at some point tomorrow, at which point it will be reopened. The builds will be announced via a Developer News blog post. This is an alpha release of the core Gecko rendering engine only, intended to both provide some early testing of Gecko, and also for web developers to be able to test their sites against a known build. There will be no front-end changes in this release from Firefox 2.
