Firefox 0.9 has branched on 2004-04-12

minutes of the meeting 2004-03-29 wrote:*Firefox 0.9*
- One major piece of feature work left to do - extension manager UI
- Current plan calls for a release in 1st week of May; this may change if Mozilla schedule changes.
- Coming off the 1.7 branch, probably on the far side of the 1.7 release.
- 0.9 will be feature complete; rock-solid stability is the next target(1.0).

  3. Include the url where you have the problem (if this is the case)
  4. Include the "about mozilla firefox" information (under the help button)

Er, where's the 25 fixes you promised? ;)

Boy, those red words keep increasing! #-o :crazyeyes:

I have a good feeling overall, though.

What about that long laundry list of patches? You know, the ones on djeter's builds.

Don't worry about 1.8a, what's important now is fixing #240367 asap.

What about all the other long-term regressions?

You are correct, some bugs such as #222157 should have been fixed ages ago. Actually, everything red in the above list should count as a blocker.

Here is what says my shell when I type (without the quotes)

cvs -r FIREFOX_0_9_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk
cvs [server aborted]: no such tag FIREFOX_0_9_BRANCH

Peter(6) wrote:Good news, they were all checked into the 1.8a trunk (all 30-ish of them) :-(
For what I understood ONLY appoved patches are checked into the 0.9 branch.


Which is """"""""like"""""""" MOZILLA_1_7_BRANCH for now.

Well..... only one of those was.
I rather had seen this list above:
list of bugs patched


If I look at 1.7 branch checkins, there's only both bug 240285 and bug 225045 which had been ported from trunk.

The first one is related to pop-up blocking, the other one to ActiveX component.

But as there were a lot of SVG patches only for mozilla trunk, it would be interesting to be a mozilla + SVG enabled trunk :o)

It would be much better off at this point if the devs released weekly builds until release and focus on the bugs. That is what they did prior to 0.8 and we had a killer release.

I am sticking with 2004-04-12 build as my base build, at least until we start seeing some major fixes.

It will be a good idea. A better one will be a 0.9 branch opened very soon ;o)

I don't think I'm going to progress past 20040408 until the trunk is known to be active again.

With the number of quality builds being offered in the forum these days - I have been using your 20040411 SVG enabled build exclusively - I think we can live with one or two official builds per week until 0.9 comes.

Just to be clear on it, what exactly is a regression? Something being taken out of the build?
