Hi all, With Firefox 79 RC shipping soon, we are nearing the end of the Nightly 80 cycle.
In order to avoid invalidating the testing we get out of late Nightly and to ensure that we can roll out Beta 80 to a wider audience with confidence, we'd like to ask that any risky changes be avoided from Thursday July 23 until after the version bump to 81 on July 27. 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 & the Release Management team -- Pascal Chevrel Firefox Release Manager + Firefox Nightly community management https://fx-trains.herokuapp.com _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
