Topics for This Week
- Startup Performance
- Last week we talked about the ongoing work to improve pageload performance. We also started looking at startup profiles and filed a meta bug for making improvements. Several bugs have been filed and are in-progress. Please take a read this mailing post to learn how you can do your own profiling or at least look over the posted profiles.
- Crashes
- Wanted to point out some crashes that could use a look. (1) NPE in LayerView.setZoomConstraints (bug 936008) (2) ConcurrentModificationException in NotificationHelper.clearAll (needs a bug).
- Welcome Eugen Sawin
- Joining the mobile platform team and will be in Mountain View this week and next, afterwards he'll be working from home in Germany.
