Urgent Bug Triage
Bugs tracked for upcoming Firefox releases, in decreasing order of urgency:
Agenda
- Backfilling OMTC work
- Turning LayerManagerOGL into a Compositor
- ajuma + nrc lately
- Working well for OpenGL
- Cross-platform texture representation being worked on by nrc
- nrc to take up point from ajuma, with Bas to support as necessary
- http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/graphics
- Bug 716859 has some work on a general approach to shared textures (SharedSurfaces)
- Probably a little too different to use directly, but maybe useful to look at?
- Will be talked about below.
- Azure project update (nrc, kentuckyfriedtakahe)
- Azure-Cairo canvas work - possibly done? Turned on everywhere except Linux and B2G (Android, non-D2D Windows; Mac uses Quartz canvas via Azure).
- Linux Azure canvas has perf issues - Anthony has fixed one issue that hasn't landed yet (memory leak)
- Shadow blurring is even slower on Azure; 2X faster on Thebes. Seems to be spending time shifting between X and main memory.
- Blur code may also be leaking Cairo surfaces.
- Content seems to be OK, but the priority has been canvas.
- Hopefully be ready by the next uplift, at which point we'll be able to remove Thebes canvas.
- SIGGRAPH recap? - deferred to next week
- SharedSurface for accelerated WebGL production/publishing to layers. (esp. OMTC/OMPC) (jgilbert)
- bug 716859
- SharedSurfaces for backing-surface-inspecific WebGL rendering pass through to layers compositing.
