Sylvestre's blog

In order to improve the feedback and the beta releases of Firefox, we are going to start publishing some information on beta releases.
For this, we are using the mercurial repository and using these two tags/revisions: --rev "ancestor(FIREFOX_29_0b2_RELEASE,FIREFOX_29_0b3_RELEASE)::FIREFOX_29_0b3_RELEASE" (See bsmedberg's blog post for more information on this syntax).

We are ignoring the commit from the ffxbld robot.
