Camino 2008 Week 32/33

Posted in Camino at 4:54 pm by Smokey

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me, so once again I’ve fallen behind on weekly updates; here’s a quick catch-up on the first half of August.

• First up, we released Camino 1.6.3 on August 7. Due to scheduling (European summer vacations!), I ended up building the multilingual version of Camino 1.6.3 myself, so if there are any problems or the disk image looks out-of-the-ordinary, it’s my fault. Mark Mentovai again handled our build and staging processes, Stuart Morgan readied the software update bits, and I handled website changes.
• Stuart again attacked the review queue, putting the anti-phishing patch through its paces as well as tackling a couple of smaller reviews. He also produced a patch to support the new certificate exceptions model in Gecko 1.9, which is the last major item blocking Camino 2.0 Alpha 1.
• Sean Murphy continued his work on fixing the main window key loop, focusing on a patch to add the tab bar to the key loop patch, and slipped in a small review as well.
• Chris Lawson spent time working on several bugs relating to “cleaning” pastes of undesirable characters. He also made a pass through our list of unconfirmed bugs.
• Christopher Henderson put together a version of his patch for content zoom that contained all of our changes, and he was also pressed into service reviewing some of Chris Lawson’s aforementioned patches.
• Peter Jaros dug into an toolbar script-related bug that I had filed recently, developed a hypothesis, and suggested a course of action that might resolve the bug.
• In addition to my work on releases and the usual triage, I (belatedly) organized the discussion on the content zoom UI and spent a good chunk of time doing a review of the UI in Stuart’s certificate exception patch.

Next up for us: Camino 1.6.4 and polishing off the last patches blocking Camino 2.0 Alpha 1.
