* OpenGL composited layers turned on by default on OS X.
* Still doing perf work, getting progressively lower risk
** Couple of regressions we know about:
* ES5
*** Some QuickDraw plugins don't draw. {{bug|583499}} This means Quicktime on 10.5. 10.6 is pretty much unaffected because most 10.6 machines will run Firefox in 64-bit mode, and we don't support QuickDraw in 64-bit mode.
** Landings
*** Subpixel AA doesn't work on certain pages - {{bug|582223}}.
*** Compartments work
* We need to install resistor dongles on all our Snow Leopard boxes. {{bug|600899}}
*** Fixed {{bug|600128|some errors adding properties to non-extensible objects}}  
** Otherwise, when we ask CGL for an accelerated pixel format, it returns NULL.
** Almost ready to land
*** {{bug|514570|Strict mode <code>this</code>}} nearly done, although one notable followup (but has a patch) will remain after it
** Current work
*** {{bug|514568|Give some <code>eval</code> code its own variable environment}} (no tainting calling context when code contains top-level var declarations); partial patch written, more work to do yet (one of the biggest remaining bits of strict mode to implement)

*** disable failing tests and merge GC Compartments to TM and m-c today or tomorrow, block on re-enabling failing tests
* Please have your teams complete their [[Security/Reviews/Firefox4|security reviews]]
*** gets us 40,000 nightly testers earlier, but scope of outstanding changes may negate that testing
*** builds would not be until next Wednesday or Thursday
*** would likely want to tag & branch for beta7 so tree could re-open
*** Note: no nightlies on the beta7 RELBRANCH - only nightly testing would be on m-c
** Proposal B: Ship B7 Without GC Compartments
*** not sure how tied to JM correctness the work is
**** Firebug and some other extensions would break, so we'd have to push out "extension-targeting freeze".
*** would it invalidate feature/API freeze?
*** could move to builds as early as this Wednesday
*** means that GC Compartments lands with the other backlog of changes
* [Tomcat|away during the meeting] Help testing OpenGL on Mac Trunk Nightly's and give us feedback
** [http://blog.mozilla.com/tomcat/2010/10/04/help-testing-opengl-on-trunk-nighty-builds/ Tomcat's blog post on the topic]
** also sign up to the [https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/nightly-testers nightly testers list]
* (bsmedberg) Java signature dialog kicks in the hang detector - {{bug|555699}} - We currently can't fix this because the Java dialog occurs in yet another process. The options are
*# ignore the problem, probably screw some corporate environments
*# blacklist Java so it always runs in-process (stability and potential exploit surfaces get worse)
*# wait for Oracle to respond
