Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: General, task)

Description

[Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]]

Soft Freeze / Merge Date: 2022-04-28 / 2022-05-02 (from the Release Management Calendar)
More details about any of those tasks can be found at: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools/release.html

Anytime during the release:

• [x] outdated backward compatibility code removed (doc, searchfox)
• [x] outdated telemetry probes removed (bz query)

Close to the end of the release

• [x] smoke test for remote debugging against version 100 (doc)
• [x] smoke test for remote debugging against the same version (version 101) (same doc)
• [x] check xpcshell debugging (doc)

Marionette:

• [x] close to the end of release, based on the list of bugs fixed during the release, update Marionette release notes on MDN for 100: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/100#webdriver_conformance_marionette
• [x] right after the release of Firefox 100, send a mail to the dev-webdriver mailing list.

Template suggestion for the Marionette email (adjust wording if relevant):

Firefox 100 has just been released, containing updates for the WebDriver conformance component (meaning Marionette).

You can find all the details in the change log for web developers:

Nice to have:

• [x] Update MDN data for the Compatibility panel (follow devtools/shared/compatibility/README.md)
• [x] Generate webidl-pure-allowlist.js and webidl-deprecated-list.js (doc)
