IMozilla Imemezela iFirefox Moving to Shorter Release Cycle

Abathuthukisi beFirefox bamemezele ukwehliswa komjikelezo we ukulungiswa kwe izinhlobo ezintsha zesiphequluli kungakapheli amasonto amane (izinhlobo zangaphambilini bezilungiselelwe amaviki angu-6-8). IFirefox 70 izokwethula ngokwesheduli engenhla ngo-Okthoba 22bese kuba amasonto ayisithupha kamuva NgoDisemba 3, inguqulo yeFirefox 71 izolungiswa, ngemuva kwalokho bazokwakha ukukhishwa okulandelayo njalo emavikini amane (Januwari 7, Februwari 11, Mashi 10, njll.).

Lapho inguqulo yesikhathi eside yokusekelwa (ESR) izokhishwa kanye ngonyaka njengakuqala futhi lizohlala ezinye izinyanga ezintathu ngemuva kokwakhiwa kwenguqulo elandelayo ye-ESR. Ukuvuselelwa kokulungisa kwegatsha le-ESR kuzovumelaniswa nokukhishwa okujwayelekile futhi kuzokhishwa njalo emavikini amane.

Uhlobo olulandelayo lwe-ESR luzoba yiFirefox 78, ehlelelwe uJuni 2020. ISpiderMonkey neTor Browser bazophinde bathuthele kumjikelezo wokwakha ukukhishwa kweviki eli-4.

Isizathu ukunciphisa umjikelezo wentuthuko kuyisifiso sokuletha imisebenzi emisha kubasebenzisi ngokushesha okukhulu. Ukukhishwa kaningi kulindeleke ukuthi kukhulise ukuguquguquka kokuhlelwa komkhiqizo nokuqaliswa kwezinguquko ezibalulekile ezihlangabezana nezidingo zezinkampani kanye nemakethe.

Ngokusho konjiniyela, umjikelezo wokuthuthukiswa kwamasonto amane uvumela ibhalansi efanelekile phakathi kwejubane lokuletha ama-API amasha wewebhu nokuqinisekisa ikhwalithi nokuzinza.

Kusukela kwikota yokuqala yonyaka we-2020, sihlela ukuthumela inguqulo enkulu yeFirefox njalo emavikini amane. Isikhathi sokukhishwa kweFirefox ESR (Extended Support Release for Enterprise) sizohlala sinjalo.

Eminyakeni ezayo, silindele ukukhishwa okukhulu kwe-ESR njalo ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ngokuhlangana kwezinyanga ezintathu phakathi kwe-ESR entsha nokuphela kwempilo ewusizo ye-ESR endala. Ukukhishwa okubili okulandelayo kwe-ESR kuzoba ngu- ~ Juni 3 no ~ June 2020.

Imijikelezo emifushane yokukhipha inikeza ukuguquguquka okukhulu kokusekela ukuhlelwa komkhiqizo nezinguquko ezibalulekile ngenxa yezidingo zebhizinisi noma zemakethe.

Ngemijikelezo yamaviki amane, singaba beshesha kakhudlwana futhi sithumele izici ngokushesha, ngenkathi sisebenzisa ukuqina okufanayo nokuzikhandla okufanelekile ekukhishweni kwekhwalithi ephezulu, okuzinzile.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, sibeka izici ezintsha nokuqaliswa kwama-API amasha wewebhu ezandleni zonjiniyela ngokushesha okukhulu. (Lokhu yilokhu ebesikwenza muva nje ngokusetshenziswa kwe-CSS nokuvuselelwa, isibonelo.)

Ukuncishiswa kwesikhathi kuyadingeka ukulungiselela ukwethulwa kuzoholela ekwehlisweni kwesikhathi sokuhlola ukukhishwa kwe-beta, izinguqulo zasebusuku nezinhlelo zonjiniyela, okuhlelelwe ukuthi kunxeshezelwe ngokuvuselelwa okuvamile kwezinguqulo zezilingo.

Esikhundleni sokulungiselela izinhlobo ezimbili ezintsha ze-beta ngesonto, kuhlelwe ukuguqula uhlelo lokukhishwa njalo lwe-beta lwegatsha le-beta, ebikade isetshenziselwa izinhlobo zobusuku.

Ukugcina ikhwalithi nokunciphisa ubungozi kumjikelezo ofinyeziwe, kufanele:

• Qiniseka ukuthi umkhiqizo wobunjiniyela weFirefox awuthinteki kabi.
• Sheshisa ijubane lempendulo yokuhlehla kusuka ekuthunyelweni kuye ekutholeni nasekuxazululeni.
• Ukwazi ukulawula ukuthunyelwa kwemisebenzi ngokuya ngokutholakala kwenguqulo.
• Qinisekisa ukuhlolwa okufanele kwezici ezinkulu ezithatha imijikelezo eminingi yokukhishwa.
• Yiba nezinqubo zokunciphisa nokucaca ezicacile nezingaguquguquki.

Ukunciphisa ubungozi bezinkinga kungalindeleki ngokungeza okusha okusha, izinguquko ezihambisana nayos izoyiswa kubasebenzisi benguqulo hhayi kanye, kepha kancane kancane; Ekuqaleni, leli thuba lizovulelwa amaphesenti amancane wabasebenzisi bese lizombozwa ngokugcwele noma linqanyulwe ngamandla lapho kutholakala ukukhubazeka.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlola okusha nokwenza izinqumo ngokufakwa kwabo eqenjini elikhulu lohlelo lweTest Pilot, abasebenzisi bazomenywa ukuthi babambe iqhaza kuzilingo ezingaxhunyanisiwe nomjikelezo wokulungiselela ukwethulwa.
