Based on the useful article from Ehsan Akhgari and the comments to that article (especially the nice suggestion from Daniel Holbert) and in the need for easier ways to backout stuff from mozilla-inbound, I've put together a couple scripts I use to easily (and more safely) backout, I'm going to share these with you, in the hope they may be useful and hopefully improved!
Listening to feedback I got from some user on my blog, I've put together a couple experimental restartless add-ons to solve some specific needs.
Microsummaries were suggested as a new Web feature many years ago, and have been supported since Firefox 2.0. In case you were wondering, they are an auto-updating short summary of a page stored as a bookmark (the page itself provides some basic additional information to power this).
A lot of Mozilla developers and volunteers these days are using checkin-needed keyword to find a checkin-buddy that can help them pushing their amazing stuff on mozilla-central (or other release branches), and maybe you're among them.
This is really cool and everybody is more than happy to help you completing your work, because we all benefit from it. But, there is something you can do to help people pushing your patch.
Recently we have made some refactoring to Places source files in Minefield, the final scope is to have a smaller browser-only part and share more code in Toolkit for various Places implementers. Some of these changes are relevant for Add-on authors, thus i will try to drive you through them.
Note: this does not cover all of recent changes, just the more "breaking" ones.
Yesterday i've pushed the last parts of my small improvements to browser chrome tests harness.
Last week, on Friday, i've pushed the last pieces of the new Places Expiration component. This was one of the Firefox Projects intended for 1.9.3 branch, you can find more background on the start of this project in its wiki page.
