Release 0.7
=Project Details=
This is where the status of the project. Mainly, releases will go here.
 
==Project Roadmap==
Based off a [http://www.kaply.com/weblog/2008/01/24/firefox-group-policy-and-active-directory blog post] and work done, the following [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pqlMBxIY5x3iXbdDY8qlfJg roadmap table] shows what is done and what still needs to be done.
 
==Release 0.7==
* Added a page to explain [[new policy|how to create a new policy]]
* Update policy done
* Refactored some code to work with JS registry component done (customizeToolbars, and others).
 
==Release 0.6==
* XPCShell Unit tests working. Can access components, interfaces.
* Refactored browser.xul code
 
Todo for next release :
* Still add policy for disabling updates
* Update code to use new Javascript components
 
==Release 0.5==
* Been trying to get test cases running for the extension, which is turning out to be much more difficult than expected. XPCShell unit tests are still not working. In talks with developers to resolve this for next release.
* Test cases should really be done before code cleanup starts, because the code cleanup will use the js registry wrappers. But it depends on how much XPCShell wants to struggle with me.
 
Todo for next release :
* Finish the test cases.
* I want to add a policy that disables automatic updates. (need to figure out how to test this in Firefox 3).
* Comment code that is difficult to read.
 
 
==Release 0.4==
* The code was updated to include proxy support and locking home page
* There is initial support for registry javascript wrappers, but hasen't been throughly tested. (Maybe something that fuel can use)
* Posted in bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267888#c73 267888]
* Published a [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pqlMBxIY5x3i2yeezToYGfg list] of working/broken policies
 
Todo for next release :
* Mostly outlind in the [[http://cesar-oss.blogspot.com/2008/03/release.html blog]]
* Email contacts for comments on bug
 
==Release 0.2==
 
Moved mkaply's grouppolicy extension into the tree. The extension is available [http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~cdolivei/files/grouppolicy.zip here]. It will also be available under the subversion repository
svn://cdot.senecac.on.ca/ff-ad
The documentation to add the grouppolicy extension into the tree, and test out a group policy is also [[Build Active Directory support|available]].
==Release 0.1==
** Some obvious problems. Firefox has some options that IE does, and IE has preferences that Firefox does not.
