Status Updates

• 30-second update on what you've worked on in the past week and what you're planning on working on this week; more detail should go here in the wiki
  • also anything that you're blocked on

• Vlad
  • Landing DirectFB code for Mobile this week (really)
  • More Cairo fun:
    • image scaling optimizations, need to evaluate perf
    • SSE2 on win32

• Joe
  • Summit!
  • Didn't get review on caching patch from Stuart, what else is new
    • Going to briefly enhance patch to use nsExpirationTimer so we release stuff that hasn't been used recently
  • Spent time figuring out what parts of nsThebesImage to keep and which to ditch. Fought the Linux build system for a bit, since it linked against system cairo by default, it seems.

• Jeff
  • Finally have an n810
  • ARM assembler optimization for pixman (looks like over8888x8888 is about 2.5x faster)
  • more work on image scaling
  • Trender crashes
  • haven't figured out a good way to run other talos tests on n810 yet
  • Built a demo app that shows the n810 can do smooth scrolling and zooming
    • Going to add mouse input to help the UX guys prototype

• Bobby
  • Updated a bunch of infrastructural issues with the precache patch. Flagged for review by joe again.
  • Working on what will hopefully be the main optimization attempt for the floating point path
  • Investigated forcing O2 on all platforms, not too much of a win but probably worth it anyway. Up for review by vlad
  • talking with eric about testing framework (canvas needs to be CMed)

• Rob
  • Aero Glass patch apparently does *not* regress transparent window behavior
  • Tracking down a crasher caused by a seemingly harmless reorg of the widget code (XP only)
  • Plan to resume work on cairo-dx9 backend

• Eric
  • New canvas tests ready, waiting to be landed by Vlad
  • wrote generic 8-bit alpha box blur for thebes for use with canavs shadows
  • Canvas Shadows
    • Working patch exists, but still needs improvements before review
    • Adds shadow support to canvas as per spec, plus a few enhancements
    • Corrects a lot of the platform parity bugs, especially with composite operators
