Places

What's Changed

• Added metrics for the run_maintenance() method. This can be used by consumers to decide when to schedule the next run_maintenance() call and to check if calls are taking too much time.

What's new

• Exposed a function in Swift migrateHistoryFromBrowserDb to migrate history from browser.db to places.db, the function will migrate all the local visits in one go. (#5077).
  • The migration might take some time if a user had a lot of history, so make sure it is not run on a thread that shouldn't wait.
  • The migration runs on a writer connection. This means that other writes to the places.db will be delayed until the migration is done.

Nimbus

What's Changed

• Added applyLocalExperiments() method as short hand for setLocalExperiments and applyPendingExperiments. (#5131)
  • applyLocalExperiments and applyPendingExperiments now returns a cancellable job which can be used in a timeout.
  • initialize function takes a raw resource file id, and returns a cancellable Job.
