Camino 2008 Week 46
Look, two weeks in a row!
- Mark Mentovai put back on the build engineer’s cap and built the Camino 1.6.5 release candidate last week.
- Stuart Morgan again kept his eye on the review queue, handing out both r- and r+ during the week. In addition, he developed a fix that tweaks the Quarantine code.
- Newcomer Ilya Sherman found himself knee-deep in our download code this past week while working to update the old Growl downloads patch.
- Philippe Wittenbergh spent time creating a toolbar icon for the Tab Overview feature and produced a number of versions based on early feedback.
- Christopher Henderson’s focus on the location bar continued, with a brief diversion into the land of the bookmark bar. Early in the week, I landed his patch to bring our location bar into the twenty-first century by displaying non-ASCII characters in URLs in their full unescaped UTF-8 glory. Christopher’s patch to enable middle-click in the bookmark bar is now awaiting super-review, and he has patches awaiting review that choose the most appropriately-sized site icon for display and that provide a keyboard shortcut to open search field menus.
- Marcello Testi, our hardworking caminol10n coordinator, built the Camino 1.6.5 Multilingual disk image last week, and he also posted about his experiences starting to update the Italian translation for Camino 2.
- Early last week I made a pass over our 2.0-targeted bug list, re-triaging a few of the bugs. I also continued working on the patch to allow localization of Gecko strings, producing a second version this weekend. I also prepared the website for the 1.6.5 release, wrote an AppleScript to automate updating the update description files, and spent some time improving our development documentation on the wiki, thanks in part to questions from Ilya.
Next up, Camino 1.6.5.
