App Update and Windows Installer status update

August 28th, 2009 by rstrong

Progress:

  • Bug 512564 [Toolkit:Application Update] FIXED (landed on trunk and 1.9.2 branch) – Support for the WinCE environment implementation
  • Bug 470979 [Toolkit:Application Update] FIXED (landed on trunk) – Keep a copy of the last-update.log renamed when the partial fails for troubleshooting
  • Bug 512994 [Toolkit:Application Update] FIXED (landed on trunk) – Deleting / recreating the updates/0 directory puts the filesystem into a weird state on Windows CE / Windows Mobile
  • Discussed UI for Bug 508684 and started on a patch
  • The crash on Firefox launch after an update seems to have disappeared at least on 1.9.2 (not sure about trunk). I’ve asked QA to keep an eye on it and let me know if they crash on Firefox launch after an update.

Loose threads:

  • The MS Shell Dlg font on the nv devices (this works properly on Windows Mobile) doesn’t appear to support Unicode ellipsis properly in that it aligns it in the middle of the text. Filed Bug 512819 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Unicode ellipsis is not properly displayed in the updater dialog when using the MS Shell Dlg font [Windows CE]. I am not working on this and have no plans to do so.
  • The update wizard is too large on Windows Mobile. This is the last thing to get app update working reasonably on Windows Mobile though there are other pre-existing bugs that are more painful on Windows Mobile. Filed Bug 513321 [Toolkit:Application Update] – [Fennec] Update wizard ui for Windows Mobile [Windows Mobile 6 Professional].

Next targets:

  • Bug 508684 [Firefox:Installer] – Add Ability to Change “Firefox as your default browser” and inform of upgrade on Summary step
  • Bug 512651 [Toolkit:Application Update] – lessen the deletions / recreations of the updates and updates/0 directories during startup
  • Bug 496207 [Firefox:Installer] – Workaround zombie firefox.exe process during install
  • Bug 315278 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Update process produces a broken application when disk space is low

Other possible targets as time permits

  • Bug 504911 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Failed partial doesn’t show ui for complete update for Firefox 3.0/3.5 partner builds from Yandex
  • Bug 407875 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Unprivileged users are not notified of security updates
