Hello,
With Firefox 88 RC out of the door, we are nearing the end of the
Nightly 89 cycle.
In order to avoid invalidating the testing we get out of late
Nightly and to ensure that we can roll out Beta 89 to a wider
audience with confidence next week, we'd like to ask that any
risky changes be avoided from Thursday April 15 until after the
version bump to 90 on April 19.
Some reminders for the soft code freeze period:
Do:
- Be ready to back out patches that cause crash spikes, new
crashes, severe regressions
- Monitor new regressions and escalate merge blockers
- Support release management by prioritizing fixing of merge
blockers
Do Not:
- Land a risky patch or a large patch
- Land new features (that affect the current Nightly version) — be
mindful that code behind NIGHTLY_BUILD or RELEASE_OR_BETA ifdefs
can lead to unexpected CI results
- Flip prefs that enable new Features that were untested in the
Nightly cycle
- Plan to kick off new experiments that might impact a feature's
merge readiness
Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.
Thanks,
Pascal
