https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548941
- Landed a HiDPI patch for pdfs in -central. Can anyone with hardware
double check it works and I'll request backport? (pospeselr: tjr is
there a linux build available with the patch applied? If not I can spin
up a build locally but will take longer ;) ) (tjr:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2019/08/2019-08-02-09-48-35-mozilla-central/
) (pospeselr: looks good to me:
https://share.riseup.net/#fb7XRE1cWIfh-Xns08EDGQ latest stable on the
left, alpha build on the right) (\o/)
- For future reference:
a) From the bug, look for a comment with a mozilla-central
link like https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/85385b4957e3
b) From there, there are lines containing 'first release
with' and 'first release without'
c) The 'files' link on that will take you to the Nightly
build directory

pili:
Last week:
- Meeting to divide up browser tasks
- S27 Reporting (work completion and monthly report)
- Helping with OTF Browser proposal
- Tried to do some triage but failed - what's the best way to
get a second opinion on a ticket without interrupting and forcing a
context switch?
This week:
- Sponsor 44 admin
- OTF Browser proposal
- Started Sponsor 30 triage - marking things as sponsor30-can
for now mainly, when I'm done I would like to review with the team to
make sure they make sense under sponsor

sisbell:
Last Week:
- Orbot project made a lot of commits over the last week. Went through
July/Aug commit and made updates to tor-android-service (branch 0801a)
- Changes also include updates to include x86_64 and armv8 support for
new version of tor browser.
- Prepared (will submit shortly, needs a little more testing) PR to
Orbot. These includes changes to keep project in sync
- Updated tor-browser-build for new commit of tor-android-service
This Week
- Create gradle flavors to further isolate Orbot VPN code from the
code we need (this deals with some firing of intents we don’t need for
VPN). This will mean we shouldn’t require any patches in the future.
- Start applying previous esr60 patches to esr68
