Hi All,

This week we'll be rolling FxA train-64 to production.  The major new
feature in this train is "sign-in confirmation emails", which I wrote
about in a separate email:

  https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/dev-fxacct/2016-June/001940.html

But there's lots of other goodness in there as well!  Here are some of
the highlights:

* There's been a lot of re-working of the visual style of the site in
order to more closely match the overall Mozilla style guide.

* We can now send reminder emails to users who have failed to verify
their Firefox Account.  We'll be rolling this out gradually and
experimenting with the details of timing and messaging to try to improve
the verification rate.

* We no longer rate-limit the resending of emails by silently ignoring
repeated requests; instead we rely on customs-server and its explicit
"attempt limit exceeded" error message.

* The account-routes tests in fxa-auth-server have been substantially
refactored to reduce duplication and  boilerplate (I don't usually call
out test changes in these release emails, but trust me, this one was
noteworthy!)

* Accounts with a large number of device records should no longer cause
us to block the nodejs event loop while sending push notifications.
We've also added metrics-gather to detect such accounts.

* The first-run flow can now use certain special values of the
utm_campaign query parameter to trigger subscriptions to custom
marketing flows in basket.

* We're deploying an experiment to test whether the "show password"
button provides value to users.

* There have been further improvements to RTL text handling.

* We're now able to use .woff2 fonts, which should reduce the initial
download size.

* We will no longer send a post-verification email to users signing up
through OAuth reliers like AMO or TestPilot; previously we would send an
email that's very sync-specific and potentially confusing.

As always, you can dig into the details in the changelogs for each
individual repo:
