Hot on the heels of last month's Firefox 4 beta 8 release comes word from Damon Sicore, senior director of platform engineering at Mozilla, that both a Firefox 4 release candidate and final version are due in February.In a post to the mozilla.dev.planning Google group, Sicore says there are about 160 hard blockers (serious bugs that could render a product unshippable) left to fix and notes that "historically it has taken us six weeks to reach RC once we have 100 blockers left." He does note that the number of remaining hard blockers does call for at least two more beta releases ("We'll drive the beta bugs to zero and ship another beta. If we can't get them to zero in reasonable time, we'll repeat, deliberately") before the product moves to the release candidate stage.
