Hi all.

As part of work reducing screenshots' memory usage [1], I landed Gaia
rev 4427b42 [2].

This Gaia change will break screenshots and the cards view until you
have a corresponding change to Gecko [3].

The Gecko change has landed on mozilla-central and mozilla-aurora.  It
has been pulled into the git repository releases-mozilla-aurora but
has not been pulled into git releases-mozilla-central; that repository
has not been updated since Oct 30.

If you are using a nightly build of Gecko, please develop against Gaia
4427b42^ until tomorrow's nightly arrives.

If you are building B2G tip against releases-mozilla-central (I
believe this is still the default), you will also need to check out
Gaia 4427b42^ until releases-mozilla-central is updated.

Alternatively, Ehsan's mozilla-central repository is already updated
[4]. You can switch to this repository in a number of ways.  One way
follows:

~ $ git checkout git://github.com/mozilla/mozilla-central.git
~ $ cd my_b2g_checkout
my_b2g_checkout $ vim .userconfig

GECKO_PATH=/path/to/git/checkout/from/above

I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.  Please let me
know if there's something I can do in the future to land this kind of
change more gracefully (other than give advanced warning, which I will
be sure to do).

Regards,
-Justin
