Soft Freeze / Merge Date: 2024-05-09 / 2024-05-13 (from the Release train page)
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- [x] outdated backward compatibility code removed (doc, searchfox)
- [x] outdated telemetry probes removed (bz query)
- [x] in devtools-qa bugs, needinfo the triage owner (or the assignee if they are a team member) to test the bug in beta channel (bz query)
Close to the end of the release (eg 1 week before code freeze)
- [x] Update MDN data for the Compatibility panel follow devtools/shared/compatibility/README.md
- [x] Check the browser information in the Compatibility Panel is up to date (example: version number for Firefox Nightly should be 127):
- Steps: Open the Inspector, then select the Compatibility side panel, and click on Settings to see the list of all browsers
- [x] smoke test for remote debugging against version 126 (doc)
- [x] smoke test for remote debugging against the same version (version 127) (same doc)
- [x] check xpcshell debugging (doc)
Marionette and BiDi:
- [x] close to the end of release (~1 week), based on the list of bugs fixed during the release, update Marionette release notes on MDN for 126: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/126#webdriver_conformance_marionette.
- [x] right after the release of Firefox 126, send a mail to the dev-webdriver mailing list.
For reference: full list of Marionette and BiDi bugs fixed during the release.
Template suggestion for the Marionette email (adjust wording if relevant):
Firefox 126 has just been released, containing updates for our WebDriver (BiDi, Marionette) support.
You can find all the details in the change log for web developers:
