I just uploaded a pre-release of Iceweasel 3.6.4 to experimental. This is an important milestone for several reasons:

• Last time I was able to push a pre-release was almost 2 years ago. This means the keeping up with upstream is mostly done. This also means I should be ready to create a 3.7alpha5 package when upstream releases it.
• It includes a new feature: Out of Process Plugins. This means plugins instances are sandboxed and if they crash, they won't take the browser down with them (finally). In this release, only the Adobe flash plugin is sandboxed, but it should be enough for the vast majority of plugin induced crashes.
• Upstream is particularly interested in feedback from Debian (experimental) users for this pre-release, as they usually don't get much feedback from their own linux pre-release builds except from the test suite.

Account created for myaddress<at>glandium.org with hg_mozilla and mg_mozsrc bits enabled.

Yes, this means I now have commit access on hg.mozilla.org. Thanks to those who vouched for me, namely Justin Wood, Christian Biesinger and Benjamin Smedberg.

And thanks to the Mozilla governance for having changed the commit access requirements just in time for me to take advantage of the new ones: under the old rules, it was required that the vouching superreviewer had never reviewed a patch from the person applying for commit access. Of the 31 superreviewers, 14 (almost half of them) already had reviewed one or more patches from me (which is not really unexpected, considering the number of patches I sent in the past).

One could wonder why I never applied for access earlier, though.

• i386用：
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• amd64用：
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

• for i386:
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• for amd64:
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

experimentalへxulrunnerの1.9.2.2バージョンをアップロードしましたが、ftp-masterが壊れていて、そして、NEWでftpmastersの賛成が必要なので,すぐにはaptでダウンロード出来ません。ですから、下記のパッケージを使ってみて下さい。

• i386用：
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• amd64用：
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

後数時間でiceweaselも出来ると思います。

As of writing, xulrunner 1.9.2.3 has been uploaded to experimental, but as ftp-master is currently offline, and as it will also need to go through NEW, it won't be available immediately. Which is why, once more, I make them available for you:

• for i386:
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• for amd64:
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

Iceweasel should follow in a few hours.

squeeze向けの3.5バージョンの準備がまだ出来ていないので、experimentalへ3.6のアップロードはまだまだです。だが今日はMozillaがセキュリティアップデートを発表しました。Iceweasel 3.6のプレビューパッケージを使ってる皆さんは安全のために下記のパッケージをダウンロードして下さい。xulrunnerのソースコードで修正されたのでxulrunnerのパッケージしかアップデートしていません。

• i386用：
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• amd64用：
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

申し訳ありませんがこのバージョンでリグレッションが導入されてしまいました：右上にある検索バーのアイコンが表示しない場合があります。
アップデート：実はこのリグレッションが存在していません。

ハ〜〜、日本語で書くのがこんなに難しかったっけ？

While the package is not ready yet for experimental, mostly because there are pending changes in the 3.5 branch, Mozilla released a security update today. So, here are the packages you need to be safe security-wise with Iceweasel 3.6. Please note only xulrunner packages have been updated, as the security fix lies in the xulrunner code.

• for i386:
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• for amd64:
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

A known regression of this version is that the icons in the search box on the top right don't show up.
Update: This regression actually doesn't exist.

Iceweasel 3.6の開発が終わりそうですが3.6も3.5もバグが残っています。experimentalへアップロードする前にはそのバグを解決したいと思います。

その間に下記のパッケージを試してみて頂けたら幸いです：

• i386用：
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• amd64用：
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

amd64のバイナリパッケージはJITコンパイラが有効にされています。（Firefoxの場合は無効。他のLinuxディストリビューションもそうだと思います）そのせいでバグが現れた場合はabout:configでjavascript.options.jit.contentを無効にして下さい。amd64のJITはテストスイートを成功しているので安定したのを期待しています。

Work on Iceweasel 3.6 is approaching an end, but there are still issues with it and with 3.5 that I want to tackle before officially pushing to experimental.

In the meanwhile, you can already try a preview package:

• for i386:
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs
• for amd64:
  • iceweasel
  • xulrunner
  • libmozjs

The amd64 binary has the JIT compiler enabled by default (contrary to upstream default, and I guess most if not all other distros), so if you have issues with it, you'll need to disable javascript.options.jit.content from about:config. It passes the testsuite, so I expect it to be fairly stable.
