* Electrolysis {(E10s)
** Windowed plugins mostly working (Windows and Linux)
** Windowless plugins working on Linux, to work on Windows soon. May have slow performance until work on asynchronous painting is done.
** Have very hacky demos of multi-process browsing
** Working on getting Fennec working with multi-process browsing.
* Joe GFX** Robert O'Callahan, Jeff Muizelaar and Bas Schouten have been iterating on an API and requirements for a [[Gecko:Layers|Layers API]], akin to Core Animation, that will enable easy hardware acceleration and certain types of animation. We welcome everyone's input.** Windows 7 support ({{bug|474052}}) has been coming along well. Aero Peek has landed in 3.6, but Jump Lists and GFX?download status in the Windows 7 task bar will have to wait for 3.7.** Bas Schouten has been tearing stuff up. In addition to contributing to the Layers API mentioned above, he came up with a proof-of-concept full-screen video implementation using OpenGL ({{bug|510057}}) and has been working on making our font rendering in Windows 7 significantly better by using DirectWrite ({{bug|517642}}).
