Firefox 3.1 Update

• Places
  • Batch-edit of tags: landed (bug 412002)
  • Tag autocomplete: in review by Mano (bug 415960)
  • Fsync: not making it, hosed the windows unit test boxes, working w/ b&r to figure it out (bug 442967)

GFX 1.9.1 Update

• GFX blocking 1.9.1+
• GFX wanted 1.9.1+
• General bugfixing, esp. win32 corner cases
• Downloadable fonts:
  • Landing today!

Mac OS X Update

• Mac OS X nsLocalFile rewrite in review
• Stat cache removal for Linux and Windows happening
• More general 1.9.1/1.9.0 fixes on the way

Layout 1.9.1 Update

• 1.9.1 Layout Bugs
• Acid3:
  • Points
    • trunk now at 89/100
    • patches currently in bug 302775, bug 174351, bug 454325, bug 178258, and bug 216462 (with --enable-smil or equivalent modification of patch) get us to 97/100
    • missing 3 points (#77, #78, #79) for SVG fonts
    • intermittently (but quite rarely) missing points (#26, #27, #80) for bug 335998 (GC timing and nodes owning parents)
  • Layout tests:
    • white X on purple and red background in upper right is due to lack of support for downloadable TTF fonts (bug 441473, etc.; I think the current patch fixes this on Windows and Mac OS X only)
  • Smoothness:
    • Currently too slow on #26 by about a factor of 4. This is an explicit performance test of DOM. We're currently spending about 30% of the time in JS+XPConnect (JS, quick stubs) and about 70% in content+layout (content and frame creation, style resolution)
  • Favicon
    • favicon.ico is displayed as the favicon, despite being a 404 response (bug 281150)
• SMIL (dholbert):
  • Still finishing up some cleanup / refactoring after first review
  • Not going to make b1 freeze -- per discussion in meeting, pushing out to Firefox 3.2

Content 1.9.1 Update

• Content 1.9.1 Bugs
• Worker Threads:
  • DOM worker XHR-X landed, got backed out, but ready to re-land
• Cross-site XHR:
  • All but one part is done, reviewed n' all. The last part is a small change to support cookie-less requests, which is done, and waiting for reviews. Will land today (with or w/o cookie-less request support).
• Speculative <script src="..."> loading:
  • <script src="..."> part done, landed 9/29. But apparently got backed out due to random crashes (?)
  • Speculative loading of images and other resources split into separate bugs.
• JIT->DOM:
  • peterv, jorendorf, gal, and others in town this week brainstorming about possible approaches here.

Roundtable

• Looking for assistance resolving a problem with focus in tests. Please read and make suggestions in http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.platform/browse_thread/thread/18ba18fe0690621b# (Mossop)

• Plan on closing the tree tomorrow to land places fsync work. We've had issues int the past with windows unit tests hanging, so we'd like to debug in tree since we cannot reproduce locally, or with old windows test boxes. (sdwilsh/dietrich)

• Documentation: selectors API has been documented; see Firefox 3.1 for developers for links. About half the CSS changes have been documented, as has Object.getPrototypeOf.
