Changelog for previous release (Thunderbird 2.0.0.21) | Changelogs for other Thunderbird releases

Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 Released

2009-06-23T14:09:29Z

Released on 22 Jun 09, and this changelog was last updated on 23 Jun 09.

Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 over 2.0.0.21. 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 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 2.0.0.22: (11)

Security issues: (7)

Fixed: MFSA 2009-33 – Crash viewing multipart/alternative message with text/enhanced part (High)
Fixed: MFSA 2009-14 – Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.9) (Moderate)
Fixed: MFSA 2009-24 – Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.11) (Moderate)

Fixed: MFSA 2009-32 – JavaScript chrome privilege escalation (Moderate)
Fixed: MFSA 2009-17 – Same-origin violations when Adobe Flash loaded via view-source: scheme (Low)
Fixed: MFSA 2009-27 – SSL tampering via non-200 responses to proxy CONNECT requests (Low)

Other fixes: (4)

Fixed: 249754 - Unable to open all mail folders when there are large number of mail folders, after compact
Fixed: 412434 - opening a window with -chrome does not work anymore

Talk at Outblaze, Hong Kong

2009-06-19T09:07:03Z

Two days ago, I was invited by Outblaze Limited to give a talk about the Mozilla development / test process at Cyberport, Hong Kong. (Preliminary thanks especially go out to Yusuf.)

I primarily covered the following topics through live demonstration:

What’s new in the upcoming releases Firefox 3.5 and Thunderbird 3
QA process in Bugzilla – triage through review and checkin. Bug lifecycle.
Test infrastructure – mochitests, xpcshell tests, crash tests, reftests, Mozmill tests

Because I had an hour slot, I didn’t have time to cover the Tinderbox waterfall, Litmus, and some other things I wanted to cover (perf tests, Talos, etc.).

It was my first time speaking to seasoned engineers (some IBM folks as well, I think) and I was glad I could share my experience with them. I had given talks (so far numbering four in total) to undergraduates, graduates, and professors (spanning from schools in Singapore / Hong Kong and now a company) but it was really special conversing with engineers because they knew what they wanted to know, and I also had quite a fair share of interesting / challenging questions. They seemed particularly interested in Mozmill testing (Mozmill folks, reading this?) especially with regards to testing web applications. In hindsight, I really should have demonstrated my Bugzilla Mozmill test. Anyone remembered “Gristmill in Action“?

In particular, I was told that my HOWTO find a manual regression window blogpost was particularly useful. (Drop me a quick email if any of my posts are interesting, OK? My email is nth10sd at gmail d0t com )

I hope to be able to share more of my experiences in the future, as it both enables my audience to learn more and myself to give better speeches in the future. Having made some great friends (Yusuf, Sultan, Milan, and some others I forgot to mention), I am glad I was able to share my knowledge with you guys – I learnt a lot too, I’m sure this help me improve over the next two years before I graduate (I’m still an undergraduate, and [im]patiently waiting for time to fly by).

Thank you, Outblaze! I’m sure we’ll meet again.
