For the past many months, I have been working on some major updates to the Mozillabuild package in order to make it more developer-friendly and easily-maintainable in the future. I am proud to say that at this time, it is ready for more widespread testing.
The latest test build can be downloaded from the link below: http://people.mozilla.org/~rvandermeulen/MozillaBuildSetup2.0.0pre4.exe sha1sum: 9edb5c51bdb5f9a5d86baf5046967d8940654353 Release notes are available below. A few general notes: * It is strongly advised that you *NOT* install this over a previous 1.x install. Changes have been made to the directory structure and underlying packages that could result in unexpected results should you choose to do so. * As is always the case when updating Mozillabuild, you should clobber after installing. * Bugs that you come across can be filed in the mozilla.org::MozillaBuild component. My goal is to ship the final release in two weeks, so any feedback you can provide now would be welcome! Thanks, Ryan ----------------- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES * Added support for MSVC2015 and dropped support for MSVC <2013, WinSDK <8.1, and MSVC Express Edition. - MSVC Community Edition is now the recommended free compiler option * Added minTTY 1.1.3 and enabled it as the default console. - Windows cmd.exe can be used by default by removing the 1 from |SET USE_MINTTY=1| near the top of start-shell.bat * Overhauls to the start-msvc* batch scripts that improve consistency and simplify maintenance. - To launch a plain terminal with no MSVC path setting, use start-shell.bat (was start-shell-l10n.bat in previous releases) * Updated Mercurial to version 3.3.2 and switched to the native python version. - Allows extensions like bzexport that rely on previously-unavailable python components to work correctly. - Enables faster future updates in the event of serious bugs or security issues. - Enabled extensions: blackbox, color, histedit, mq, pager, progress, purge, rebase, share, transplant - See the Known Issues section for regressions from this change. * Updated python to version 2.7.9. - Included packages: pip 6.0.8, setuptools 14.0, virtualenv 12.0.7 OTHER UPDATES/ADDITIONS/REMOVALS * Removed SVN * Updated 7-zip to version 9.20 * Updated bundled CA certs to those from NSS 3.17.4 * Updated emacs to version 24.4 * Updated MSYS to version 1.0.18 and various components to the latest available for MSYS1 * Updated wget to version 1.16.1 KNOWN ISSUES * Changes in behavior due to using minTTY instead of Windows cmd.exe * Problems with python scripts that can't find an hg executable in the path (bug 1128586, bug 1131048) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
