Rocketeers!
The SDK source tree is now frozen in preparation for the 0.9
release. We plan to take about a week to do this work, building and
testing one or more release candidates until we have something we're
happy to release as Jetpack SDK 0.9.
Tentative Timeline
- 0.9rc1: Wednesday, October 13 (that's today!)
- 0.10 thaw: Monday, October 18
- 0.9 final: Wednesday, October 20
Blockers and Low-Risk Patches
During the freeze, only blocker fixes and driver-approved low-risk
patches can land. The blocker nomination and approval process is
informal: just ask me (myk) or Dietrich (dietrich)
on IRC, email us
(
m...@mozilla.org,
diet...@mozilla.com), or comment in
code
blocker tracking bug 604173. When checking in an approved
patch, add "a=[driver name]" to the commit comment.
Help Wanted
Your assistance is invaluable! Please test release candidates as
they become available, and let us know how they work for you. You
can comment in this group,
file
bugs, or
talk
to us on IRC.
We could also use help writing the
release
notes, especially filling out the sections on notable
enhancements, notable bug fixes, and known issues. That's especially
true for the breaking changes we made for E10S compatibility and to
adopt the EventEmitter event model. Please contribute release notes
for those changes!
