General Discussion

  • Freeze tonite: Will chase down [1] and continue as planned.
  • Schedule:
    • Concerns for B1, all features complete was the original criterial:
      • GFX is basically feature complete.
      • Leaks are currently an issue (Jonas).
      • Dbaron: We still need to do perf and memory work.
      • Schrep: Ground rules for the schedule:
        • I'd like to ship a Fx3 that is better than Fx2. We should be excited.
        • I care about fit and finish, perf, tp, ts, perf in major web apps, memory footprint, etc.
        • Innovative stuff on the front end that we are excited about.
        • The sooner we get this out the better. So, if we can meet the above criteria and still get it out there sooner rather than later, let's do so.
  • Currently working on these new features (RISK!):
    • ContentEditable - Patch was reviewed last night and will land today.
    • XSXHRequest - We need to stop.
    • Offline - There are File API changes/additions underway.
    • Malware - Just received server from Google last week. Should be done by the end of the week.
