Mac OS X NPAPI Event Models Spec

Mac:NPAPI_Event_Models contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Event Models. This spec adds support for the Cocoa event model, which replaces the aging and 64-bit incompatible Carbon event model. The spec is close to final but more changes may be made.

Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models Spec

Mac:NPAPI_Drawing_Models contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models. This spec allows plugins to render using CoreGraphics and also solves the problem of 64-bit plugins on Mac OS X. The spec is close to final, however last-minute changes may occur.

Gecko 2.0 Plugin Improvements

  • NP_GetEntryPoints will become the only way to get function pointers, we will not call "main()".
  • Remove Quickdraw drawing model and Carbon drawing model support even for 32-bit plugins.

Gecko 1.9.1 Plugin Improvements

Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements

  • 344427 Support Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, as proposed below. This will allow plugins to draw using CoreGraphics instead of Quickdraw.
  • 344425 - support NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()"
  • 336060 - use a slower idleEvent timer for plugins that are not in a foreground tab on the key window
