<p><tt>We are very committed to keeping the Mac platform going. We
are fixing regressions. That entails a painful mix of compiling
things on the try server and then letting Mac owners try them.
Richard bought an old Mac out of his own pocket for his theme
work and he can try things for us. This will hopefully improve
soon since the Council decided on a hardware grant so developers
can buy the hardware they need. We will also have it in the back
of our minds when hiring developers (which is on the cards) to
cover the Mac platform better.</tt></p>
<p><tt>Recent bugs fixed for Mac:</tt></p>
<ul>
<li><tt>Aceman fixed integration with Mac contacts, especially
contact groups: bug 1356881</tt></li>
<li><tt>Discontinued universal builds and got Daily Mac builds
going again: bug 1322402 (real pain to fix via try and error
on the servers)</tt></li>
<li><tt>Crash related to the address book: Bug 1332246 - there we
got onto our knees and begged for help from Mozilla core
people and got it. Markus Stange fixed that bug for us.<br>
</tt></li>
<li><tt>Crashes in Sierra due to memory management fixed by
Mozilla staff and backported to a TB release branch (again, a
lot of pain in that since we had to back-port five bugs)</tt><br>
</li>
<li><tt>The sound bug fixed by our new contributor Javi.<br>
</tt></li>
</ul>
<p><tt>So we're really stretching the existing resources to the
limit.</tt></p>
