My apologies. We will need to move this out a week to accommodate the
new Firefox release on April 26th. We do not want our migration to
interrupt the release process so better to do it after.

More time for quality testing and feedback! :)

Thanks

Subject: BMO Version Upgrade Testing and Feedback Needed by April 25th, 2016

Greetings,

The Mozilla Bugzilla Team (B-Team) is happy to announce the test release
of the next version of bugzilla.mozilla.org (BMO) based on the upstream
Bugzilla code base. Although we have backported a lot of cool stuff over
the years from upstream, it is still beneficial for Mozilla to run a
more modern version of Bugzilla. This will allow for easier porting of
new features to the BMO code base, as well as allowing upstream to use
some BMO customizations.

We are hoping to have the upgrade completed by April 25, 2016. Please
let us know if that date will have any negative impact on development
schedules.

Please test drive at https://bugzilla-merge.allizom.org.

The main areas of focus for our test releases are stability,
performance, and reliability. Functionality that currently works in our
code base installed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org should continue to
work as expected in the new version. Please let us know of any
customizations that may be missing as well. There are also numerous new
features/fixes that are part of the upstream code base, such as Markdown
support in comments and better HTML5 support, to name a couple.

Also, please test your various scripts and third-party applications,
such as dashboards, that use the XMLRPC/JSON/REST APIs with the test
server to make sure they continue to function properly.

The database is a sanitized snapshot of the live database so should be
useful for testing to make sure the information is displayed properly
and changeable. Please ping someone in #bteam IRC channel to set your
password as passwords have been removed.

Also note, email has been disabled so that unnecessary spam is not sent
out. So feel free to make changes to bugs to verify proper working order.

We are asking for anyone who has a few spare minutes to get involved and
provide testing and feedback.

Please file bug reports in the production BMO system at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=mozilla.org&version=development

Thanks,
The Mozilla Bugzilla Team
