Hi All,

This week we'll be rolling FxA train-44 intro production, with the
following highlights:


* The sign-up form now sports a password strength checker, thanks to
  summer intern Sai.  It will be deployed in metrics-gathering mode
  this train, and we'll use that feedback to inform our UI choices for
  dealing with weak passwords.

* The content-server has preliminary support for cache-busting,
  on-demand loading of client javascript modules, initially in use
  to demand-load the password strength checker code.

* There's a new, simpler method for asking the user's age at signup,
  which we'll be A/B testing against the existing widget.

* There's a new `context=fx_fennec_v1` mode to support use of the
  web-based login flow on Firefox for Android.

* en-GB is now an officially-supported locale.

* We have backend support infrastructure for logging in to FxA via an
  OpenID provider; this is currently only for partner demos and we've no
  concrete plans to enable it in production.

* OAuth implicit grants can now request an empty scope, for consistency
  with other grant modes.

* We now store user-agent metadata and last access time for each session
  token, to help users identify their active sessions in a future
  management dashboard.

* Some server-side events are now logged to DataDog for easier
  visualisation and analysis.

* We have a new script to report aggregate metrics on multi-device
  versus single-device accounts.

* All our database backend code now lives in the fxa-auth-db-mysql
  repository, which should eliminate the development pains of having
  to coordinate PRs across multiple fxa-auth-db-* repos.

* The profile server will now delete avatar pictures and other user
  data when the user deletes their account.

* Control characters and other definitely-not-text symbols are now
  disallowed in the display_name profile field.

* Our credentials input fields are no longer subjected to spellcheck
  of auto-capitalization by the browser.

* Authentication failures when displaying profile data on the website
  are now handled more cleanly.

* A tremendous number of bugfixes and metrics-gathering enhancements.


On top of all that, in a separate patch release, we'll be shipping:

* A redesigned, substantially-more-beautiful-and-useable settings page!


As always, you can dig into the details through the CHANGELOG files in
each individual repo:
