Schedule

  • Fx18 Shipped! \o/
  • Next merge is 2013-02-18

Major Topics for This Week

Fx18 shipped
Haven't seen a lot of press feedback yet, but we did break 2M ADIs yesterday.
HTML5 context menu support
Wes landed support for HTML5 context menus into Fx20. He has a demo page to try it out.
Rolled back Share menu
We had a few bugs with our current Share menu - where we list the apps you can share stuff with - and had to rollback to the old behavior where we use the Android system "Share" picker. We'll look into a custom Share menu again when we have the glitches figured out. We'll rollback Aurora and Beta too.
Nightly crashes
We had a bump in the Nightly crash rate, mostly due to some new features landing. Let's be sure to follow-up with fixes. Bug list too.
Benchmarks and compatibility
A new effort is starting up and will focus on Firefox, Benchmarks and Compatibility. Deb has started collecting relevant info.

Scott (jwir3)

Done:

  • bug 825499 : Add caretPositionFromPoint to Document.webidl

In Progress:

  • bug 803719 : Reflow-on-zoom should zoom in and snap to a piece of text
    • Hopefully will be working by end of week. I'm using document.caretPositionFromPoint, which returns correct offset, but then trying to convert to a DOMRange so that I can use getBoundingClientRect().
    • We're probably going to have to start thinking about how to make this more smooth (e.g. animations of reflow-on-zoom).
  • bug 756518 : Modify conditional detection of mobile sites for font inflation (required above bug 821801).
  • bug 824965 : caretPositionFromPoint gets incorrect offset for textareas
  • IID and backout frustrations.
