The Rumbling Edge

We’ve come a long way from the start of bugdays last year. There is still much more work to be done, though past credit must be given to the great work and past effort given by Thunderbird triagers. I will leave everyone with a graph to ponder for a second, then move on.

Changelog for previous release (Thunderbird 2.0.0.19) | Changelogs for other Thunderbird releases

Released on 18 Mar 09, and this changelog was last updated on 19 Mar 09.

Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 over 2.0.0.19. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release. Do check out the known issues as well.

The Gecko 1.8.1.x branch (Thunderbird 2.0.0.x series) will not include any groundbreaking features that Gecko 1.9.x will bring, since it is based on Gecko 1.8.

Impact key for security issues listed on the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories webpage:

• Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
• High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
• Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
• Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have “High” impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)

Changes in 2.0.0.21: (6)

Security issues: (3)

• Fixed: MFSA 2009-07 – Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.7) (Critical)
• Fixed: MFSA 2009-10 – Upgrade PNG library to fix memory safety hazards (Critical)
• Fixed: MFSA 2009-09 – XML data theft via RDFXMLDataSource and cross-domain redirect (Moderate)

Other fixes: (3)

• Fixed: 382349 - Unable to shift focus to the Message Body Pane with keyboard (F-6), a problem for blind Users.
• Fixed: 470185 - Update mail/ copyright dates to 2009
• Fixed: 473924 - thunderbird crashes when trying to open a base64 encode vcard [@ fakeCString]

[I wanted to post this on my Wordpress.com blog, but they seem to strip out <video> tags (i.e. I don't see them being shown when I click Preview, but it does on self-hosted Rumbling Edge). Oh well.]

CS3108 is now midway through, the students (in no particular order), Yuen Hoe (moofang on IRC), Tony Vu (tonyvu), Yaoquan (yq) and Hendrik (Hendrik) have presented on their projects, each wonderful in their own right (sure, some negative demonstrations, but we all learn from them, don’t we? ). I am very happy that they are able to make such wonderful progress after only a few weeks (less than 2 months, in fact) on the course, and I hope they will each continue to reach greater heights.

And now presenting…. drumroll please…

Yuen Hoe (moofang) – Thunderbird, application code (Blog):

Yuen Hoe’s ogg theora (23MB) or unprocessed mov (794MB) versions are available for download.

Tony Vu (tonyvu) – Firefox, Ubiquity extension (Blog):

Tony’s ogg theora (18MB) or unprocessed mov (762MB) versions are available for download.

Yaoquan (yq) – Thunderbird, Personas extension (Blog):

Hendrik (Hendrik) – Firefox, application code (Blog):

Hendrik’s ogg theora (9.1MB) or unprocessed mov (597MB) versions are available for download.

Please do contact them directly if you are interested to know more about what they have been doing or will be doing in the future. Also, be sure to catch their updates at the new Mozilla Education Planet!

(Recorded on a MBP’s webcam, onto iMovie, and immediately saved as .mov, then later converted to ogg theora)
