(Sylvestre) 38.2.1 ESR - patches landed in the thunderbird relbranch (GECKO3820_2015081310_RELBRANCH).

this specific instance was we pushed updaters live on a Friday Aug 14, in #releng I got flagged that the 'install' links still showed 41a2 at - iirc everyone checked the updates before leaving, no one checked the installer.

With increasing complexities of coordinating multiple artifacts, maybe time to add a 'are we really shipped yet' checklist?

(hwine - developer edition) some issues when 42a2 went live with download page links not updating.

(bhearsum) tiny reminder: 'snippets' don't exist anymore!.

(bhearsum) should we hold off publishing security advisories until after we unthrottle? Not all users are offered updates when we first ship (because of the 25% rate), and if we have an immediate point release it can sometimes be a week before many users get an update even though we've posted advisories.

Verification for ESR didn't happen until Tuesday morning, and it delayed ship (we had an issue on Mac) Related, verification of WNP (what's new page).

(bhearsum) How to know if we're doing a what's new page? We were told no in, then yes, but it turned out we were just doing a firstrun (no RelEng work needed).

Having a schedule before or right after a release starts may help set expectations more clearly.

(sylvestre) Release management should communicate more when the situation is complex.

(hwine) might have a new request for moc notification of actual release.

Todo: document how to publish the sec advisories.

(lizzard) Yes - that was partly that dan and al were traveling, partly that I overestimated how much time we would take to qualify the release - we finished earlier than I predicted, and the sec advisories weren't ready.

Eg: we sat on 39.0.3/38.1.1 chemspills for 2-3h before shipping (waiting on advisories, I think).

If we're burning the midnight oil to get releases built, we shouldn't be sitting on them.

(bhearsum) Consistency in release urgency.

(sylvestre) Thanks again! (lizzard) Yes thanks!!.

Should have better relman coverage once Ritu is fully up-to-speed.

(lmandel) Difficult to manage the release as Sylvestre was on PTO and Liz was out sick.

(sylvestre) I will have some releng permissions to retrigger jobs.

(sylvestre) Do we know what happened? Our update gets queued in their review process and their standard turn around time is ~24 hrs.

(ritu) This may happen from time to time.

(lmandel) beta4 mobile failed to update on the Play store, required poking Google for help.

(lmandel) beta6 build was hung, cpearce noticed.

(lmandel) beta5 build failed and we failed to ship this beta.

It has a built-in ad blocker like the desktop app, but no longer includes a free VPN.В« previous release | index | next release В» Firefox 40 Post-mortem If you want to sync bookmarks and tabs with your iPhone or iPad, thereвЂ™s Opera Touch, which like all iOS browsers, uses AppleвЂ™s own WebKit rendering engine. The M1 version of Opera launched in April 2021 and Opera claims it вЂњruns 2 times faster compared to the previous version of our browser.вЂќ You can also set custom shortcuts for OperaвЂ™s вЂњFlowвЂќ feature, which is essentially end-to-end encrypted chat with Opera on your other devices for quickly sending pictures, links, and files. Opera also has a respectable list of extensions, but since itвЂ™s based on Chromium, many of the Chrome extensions work just fine, too. ThereвЂ™s a nice battery saver feature that reduces background tab activity and pauses some plug-ins and animations, too. It can pop out videos from webpages, has a built-in ad blocker, and there are integrated messaging clients that can connect to Facebook Messenger, VKontakte, and WhatsApp. ThatвЂ™s not the only trick up OperaвЂ™s sleeve, though. Among OperaвЂ™s unique features is a built-in messaging sidebar.
