Changes

This roadmap describes the technology planned capabilities of the Mozilla platform, often known as "Gecko", in the 1.9 release. The product delivery vehicle for this technology platform will be explored, discussed, and refined in another roadmap process, to which this document will link in the very near future. This is the "platform" roadmap. The other document is the "product" roadmap.

The work described in this document will be performed -- in several cases it is already <i>being</i> performed -- on the trunk of Mozilla CVS, with the 1.8 branch preserved largely intact. Some of the features listed below may be pulled forward into that 1.8 branch if needed for product releases off that branch, but you shouldn't count on it. We will preserve all API (frozen or not) compatibility on the 1.8 branch, so only selected additional APIs are thinkable.
