Trunk to close on December 4th for Firefox 3 Beta 2
At this week’s Firefox 3 / Gecko 1.9 meeting, endgame scheduling was set for the upcoming Beta 2 release. The plan is to hold the tree closed and let nightly builds “bake” for a few days with minimal changes as a way to identify and fix regressions or major bugs before handing off to QA. If all goes well, the code will be handed off to the Build and QA teams for Beta 2 release in late December.
Notable dates for all developers working on trunk are:
- December 4th, 11:59 PST: the tree will be closed to checkins
- December 5-7th: endgame drivers will twice daily triage approval1.9? requests, accepting only minimal changes
- December 7th: trunk freeze, endgame drivers will re-evaluate scheduling for Beta 2 release
