Subject: Important: Update to latest central before running |mach try|

If you don't have any |mach try| presets for the syntax selector, feel
free to ignore. Otherwise, make sure you update to the latest central
before running |mach try| or you might lose your presets.
If you see a message like this in your |mach try| output:
warning: unknown section 'syntax', the following presets were not migrated
Then you're too late and it means the presets listed underneath will be
lost if you don't manually re-create them. To re-create them:
Create ~/.mozbuild/autotry.ini
Create a [try] heading and copy + paste the unmigrated presets
underneath. For example, the file should look like this:
[try]
foo = -b o -p all -u mochitest
bar = -b d -p none
...
Run: mv ~/.mozbuild/try_presets.yml temp.yml
Trigger the migration again: mach try --no-push
Copy + paste the contents of temp.yml into ~/.mozbuild/try_presets.yml
To re-iterate, these steps are only necessary if you see the bolded
warning above.
In short, I recently changed the |mach try| preset format and included
an automatic migration script. But due to a bug in the migration, only
the first preset in the list was successfully migrated. This bug only
affects presets that were saved with try syntax. Unfortunately the
associated test for the migration only tested a single preset so didn't
detect the bug. The bug is fixed on the latest mozilla-central
Very sorry for the inconvenience and let me know if you need help,
Andrew
