We will be porting some of these features over from the Test Pilot version over the next week or two. Our goal is to get a Search / Top Sites / Pocket version of Activity Stream available for a 10% opt-out Sheild roll-out to the 56 release channel. This will allow us to collect performance and engagement telemetry to ensure the best possible user experience as we get closer to the 57 general roll-out.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The entire Activity Stream team has been working extremely hard on fixing a <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/projects/15" class="">crazy number of intermittents, races, crashes, Talos regressions, leaks and perma-oranges</a>. Those of you who have tried to land big Firefox features know how time consuming and sometimes frustrating it can be to fix these kinds of issues. I would like to thank the entire team for their hard work. I would especially like to thank Ed Lee for his persistence and leadership over the past couple of months in making sure we hit this significant milestone.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tim</div></body></html>
