    Thanks, Jesee. Great work!

    > Since Feb 24: 284664 – Mouseout events lost moving mouse out of iframe.
    This bug is fixed, isn’t it?

    And IMHO, Bug 273466 has enough value to be listed in regression list.

  4. David Naylor Says:

    Mee too is being very happy to see another post from thee.

  5. Nick Fagerlund Says:

    Yah, and not only that, but the post itself is a sight for sore eyes. (*click* *upgrade*)

  6. Nick Thomas Says:

    The “Aviary branch landing (again? more?) on 2005-03-23” entry can be removed, bonsai got confused when some files were moved in the CVS repository. See bug 222157 for details.

  7. Neil T. Says:

    Has https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288688 been fixed on the trunk? I can’t get Secunia’s vunerability test to do anything in 20050402.

  8. giandrea Says:

    This build crashes constantly on Mac OS X. It is unusable. Just for the sake of information… :)
    Waiting for the next one, and I hope it won’t take as long as this time. :)

  9. Jesse Ruderman Says:

    Comment 11 from in the bug, on April 1, says “fixed on trunk” in addition to several branches.

  10. Jesse Ruderman Says:

    Sorry for all the errors and omissions. That’s what happens when I try to do an entire 3-week Burning Edge post in only two hours.

    [Bug 284664] is fixed, isn’t it?

    Thanks. Changed.

    And IMHO, Bug 273466 has enough value to be listed in regression list.

    I agree. Added. I missed it because it had the aviary-landing keyword instead of the regression keyword.

    The “Aviary branch landing (again? more?) on 2005-03-23″ entry can be removed, bonsai got confused when some files were moved in the CVS repository. See bug 222157 for details.

    Thanks. Removed. What comments in that bug should I read to understand what happened?

    Has https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288688 been fixed on the trunk? I can’t get Secunia’s vunerability test to do anything in 20050402.

    Added.

    I also added 289211 to the regressions list.

  11. P Says:

    Wow. 3247 is fascinating to read through. Well, okay, I have an unhealthy fascination with this kind of stuff.

  12. teedoff087 Says:

    This build crashes for me when trying to access the Tools>>Options menu. Anyone else experiencing this?

  13. alanjstr Says:

    Glad to see this site going again! Now I might consider using the trunk builds.

  14. berkut Says:

    Is anyone else getting no scrollbars? tried clean profile too..

  15. Jan! Says:

    Berkut, the scrollbar issue has been fixed in the latest nightlies.

  16. Kroc Camen Says:

    Wow, what a choka release, Cursor URL’s *and* CSS-content attribute! I’m hoping that 1.1 will also support embedded fonts, I have a genuine use for such functionality and it annoys me that despite standards-compliance, a website I’ve been working on still won’t work right in Firefox :*(

  17. Steffen Says:

    Bug 222157 was about fixing Save As in View Source. It was already working after the aviary landing happened, because that introduced a band-aid, which was only intended for the branch, on the trunk.

    That band-aid made toolkit’s view source depend on browser’s contentAreaUtils.js. But that’s evil since toolkit shouldn’t depend on browser. The real fix was to move contentAreaUtils.js to toolkit. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222157#c108.

    What happened to the cvs log (bonsai) is this: Chase moved the file in the cvs repository, but he adjusted the times the earlier revisions of that file were created. See http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla/toolkit/content/contentAreaUtils.js. Most of the checkins happened around 2005-03-23 13:36. So if you check out a tree by date, you don’t recieve the file twice, once in the old and once in the new location.

  18. Defenestration Says:

    After 2005-03-31 nightly, a couple of bugs related to TBE appeared, which are still present in the latest nightly:

    1) Clicking on the Options button on the Extensions dialog, when the TBE entry is highlighted sometimes causes FF to crash, and sometimes it hangs. Accessing the TBE options/prefs dialog from the TBE Tabs menu works OK.

    2) Clicking on a link in Outlook Express/Thunderbird when FF is already open causes a new tab to be opened (with “Loading…” in the tab), but nothing happens. FF is effectively hung, and you have to restart FF to get functionality back.

  19. Grador Says:

    Problem with download manager. I have set it to ask me for every file where to download, but it still downloads everything to desktop without asking

  20. Hank Roberts Says:

    This one’s working fine under OSX 10.3.9, Powerbook G3:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050416 Firefox/1.0.4

    (from today’s Tinderbox Aviary 1.0.1 folder)

  21. Frank Says:

    Is anyone using this site anymore?

    It seems terribly out of date

  22. Jean-Marc Gillet Says:

    Things change over time … Jesse’s studies take him much more time. He cannot update a site of this quality as regularly as before, unfortunately for us.

  23. Kevin Says:

    Is there a similar site to this where we can see the updated bugs and download updated builds? One that updates more frequently?

    -Kevin

  24. Victor Antolini Says:

    AFAIK, This site is the only one. You can check out the links in the Sources part on the left, you’ll see a lot of interesting stuff.

  25. jm.one Says:

    once upon a time this site was updated frequently. Daily I`d say. MAybe the real life including work has demanded more time? Anyway yoou can alllways check the tinderboxen (that?S what I`Ve done back in those Moz-App.Suite days, (even in those 0.X times of the suite) There wasn`t a burning edge or similar in those days.

  26. Jean-Marc Gillet Says:

    There’s also the “Forum for official builds” link at the left. Posters of “The Official Win32 yyyymmdd [Trunk] build is not yet out.” topic are well informed and quick at detecting the new bugs. Peter(6) (Peter Van der Woude) does a great job of keeping an up-to-date bug list and maintaining and moderating the topic.

  27. Defenestration Says:

    Hooray! I can finally go back to using the nightly builds since all previous problems I was having have now been fixed with the latest BEAST trunk build. Changes will make it into 2005-04-29 nightly. Definitely time for an update to The Burning Edge

  28. Max Thrane's Cyberspace Says:

    Updating Firefox to 1.0.4

    Whoa dude… This update took me like +1 hour or so…

    First of all I went to “The Burning Edge” (which wasn’t updated for quite a while now, pretty sad) and got my hands on latest bangbang’s release. Firefox wouldn&#82…

  29. arash Says:

    There seems to be an issue in the latest build in handling marquees:

    http://www.bv229.k12.ks.us/bvnwss/

    Note the huge horizontal scroll that appears on this site. This site displays perfectly in firefox 1.0.3 and IE 6.

  30. arash Says:

    It is kind of fixed now… except until the page fully loads it’s still horizontally scrollable, then it corrects itself. Firefox 1.0.3 or IE don’t have this problem on http://www.bv229.k12.ks.us/bvnwss/
