→0.7 Release - Feb 29, 2008
'''GOAL''': Continuing on the goal of 0.6 which is to get patch checked in
* After a couple more back and forth conversations about the finer points of the patch, '''it was r+ and then approved/checked in on February 26, 2008 ''' time: 8 hours
* Following this, testing is needed to make sure that it now works on the user end
* To be able to test, the tinderboxen and/or the ref platform needs to have the Windbg installed so that the binary can be accessed through an environment variable which will be set using tinder:config
* I have filed a bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419904 bug 419904] asking for this installation to be done
* Other Mozilla involvement for this period included being trained to be an AMO editor, as well I have started working on an extension that will display the current profile you are using in the statusbar - something that I would really like to have now that I am running an incredible amount of Fx instances on both Mac and WinXP at the same time doing a million things at once.
Now that this goal is met, the goal for my 0.8 release is twofold:
1. To have successful testing information on the nightly debug builds and (fingers crossed) to have the patch working completely
2. To learn anything significant about the pdbstr.exe replacement and how to begin writing it. This could be anything from an actual conversation with Timeless to more reading up in the Windows 2000 secrets book that Ted sent me a pdf link to.
