Builds

• bug 430200 Linux hourly/nightly builds
  • We have builds going, needs a little cleanup on ftp.

QA

• Big Blockers for Mochitests (unlocks a large number of mochitests)
  • bug 455891 - issues with setting Focus on elements
  • bug 454613 - showModalDialog issue

• Lesser issues, related to plugin support:
  • bug 455956 - plugin style
  • bug 455866 - pluginNotFound event not firing

• started running mochitests on Nokia - working on retooling Heather's script to run directory by directory since we're still hitting resource issues with running the full suite of mochitests on the N810. Right now we have 80% of the tests running on the N810 and working on the rest.

• running the global500 tests on linux desktop

• working on getting --enable-tests to work in the build environment (should be fixed by bug 459699)

• initial start on [Test Plan]

Other

• Start working on "unified" panning
  • Single panning layer, not content panning and UI panning mixed together
  • Panning would be removed from deckbrowser
  • Browser (deckbrowser) would always be sized to the extents of the actual web content
  • Panning happens in the UI layer - sidebars, browser and anything else all move together
  • deckbrowser/canvas only needs to paint the current viewport
• Non-canvas based ideas for deckbrowser
  • Canvas method is not without issues
  • How bad is the "just browser" method
  • Should we add panning into the platform (we need it for more the deckbrowser)

Embedding

Initial tasklist. No changes.
