Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements
We are hoping to make 3 major improvements to the Mac OS X plugin architecture in Gecko 1.9:
- 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
- 344427 Support 64-bit Mac OS X NPAPI, as proposed on the plugin-futures mailing list. Significant changes include the option to render via CoreGraphics (QuickDraw will no longer be the only option) and updated native event structures.
64-bit Mac OS X NPAPI Spec
Mac:64-bit NPAPI contains the spec for the 64-bit Mac OS X NPAPI. It is kept up to date as the spec is modified.
