I forgot to mention: * Move 'Remote Tabs' UI: We are moving the 'remote/sync tabs' from the Tabs Tray to a Home Panel. This work is happening in bug 1014994 [5]
[5] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1014994 ----- Original Message ----- > Here's a quick look at what we'll be focusing on for the Fx35 Nightly Cycle: > * Search Activity/Widget: The team spent some of the Fx34 cycle getting > milestone v0 finished and enabled the Search Activity and Widget in Nightly. > Since then we have been collecting feedback and working on bugs. For Fx35, > we intend to focus on the what's needed to start riding the trains, meaning > we intend to ship something in Fx35. Checkout the project page [1] for more > information, including milestones and bug lists. Primary tasks are: Focus on > the MUST HAVE items required for shipping, and continue to smooth the rough > edges of the core functionality. > * Tablet Refresh: Substantial work happened during the Fx34 cycle. The team > is ready to start landing some parts from the HG branch back into > mozilla-central. They are using build flags and have the new code paths > behind a preference as well. We DO NOT expect the tablet work to start > riding the trains yet. The Fx35 cycle will focus on some design iterations > as the UX team start looking back at the tablet work. You will be able to > enable some of the new tablet UI in Fx35 though, but it will likely remain > limited to Nightly. For more information, see the project page [2]. > * MLS/Stumbling: Additions to Fennec that allowed people to opt-in and post > location-data to the Mozilla Location Service (MLS) landed late in Fx34. We > are giving it time to bake and will look to ship it in Fx35. Stumbling > requires an Android Permission change so Fennec can access more detailed > WiFi information. This data is only accessed if you opt-in to stumbling, but > Android being Android, we require asking for the permission on install > regardless. This means the Fx35 will be a PERMISSION BUMP release. If any > other features are being discussed and require a permission change, consider > riding along. We like to batch permission changes because of the negative > affect it has on auto-upgrades. > * Reducing APK Size: Large APK size has been linked to failures to install > (network cutting out) and lack of desire to install (no space left on > device). We are looking at two sub-projects to help reduce APK size: > Minifying JavaScript in the Omnijar bundle and Splitting the APK based on > Device and Android API level. See the project page for more info [3] > * Reorganize the Settings Structure: We are evaluating feedback and UI > Telemetry to start a small restructuring of the Settings layout. > * Speed Dial Panel: We are considering whether to add a Home Panel that is > more "speed dial" oriented. Smaller tiles with simple logos, easy to tap and > launch. Smaller tiles mean we can show more of them. This is in the very > early UX design stages. > * Focusing on Fx34 projects: Share Handler and Lightweight Onboarding both > landed in Fx34, but still need some polish and quality fixes to be uplifted. > We will continue to improve these features so they can ship in Fx34. > Please refer to the Roadmap [4] for more details and status updates > throughout the cycle. > [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Search_activity > [2] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Tablets:_tabbed_browsing_refresh > [3] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fatfennec > [4] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Roadmap#Firefox_35_.28Nightly.29
