Platform/WRfuture

Meeting notes for any discussions pertaining to overall WebRender priorities and planning

April 6 2020

Attendees: jrmuizel, jbonisteel, gw

Blockers for future targets:

Win10

• Intel gen 7.5, 7
  • YouTube Scrolling issue
  • Once texture allocation work lands, we should be in good enough shape to at least enable in Nightly again
  • Then we can see if any other fallout bugs happen and we can also start looking at newer, lower end Intel
• Nvidia medium and large screen laptops
  • If no directcomp, partial present would be nice. Nothing else should be blocking that right now, we will double check
  • Could be a potential target for 77 or 78
• DirectComp
  • Change to not call hardware stretching api?
    • JM to confirm a bit more what to do here.

Other Platforms

• Mac - Core Animation
  • JB to confirm what plan is there
• Win 7
  • If partial present is in good shape, could enable WR in Nightly here very soon
  • Win7 Nightly users are about 16% of the population
  • This bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1574746 is a currently known blocker for Win7
