= Notices / Schedule =

= Blocker Report =

= Browser / Front End =

= GFX Update =
* Cairo update landed & bounced last night.

= Hardware Acceleration Update =
* Hardware-accelerated full-screen video using OpenGL (Windows only) is finally landed on m-c and working on most machines. Bas fixed some bugs last week to ensure we weren't hardware decelerating video.
* Jonathan Griffin has started finding bugs using the Grafxbot hardware acceleration testing extension. This is good news!

= Layout Update =

* Layout goals are up: [[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2010-Q2-Goals#Layout]]
** Mostly about layers integration

* Matt Woodrow has patches to add new cairo_retained_path_t API, implement the API to retain CGPath objects in the cairo-quartz backend, and retain paths in SVG
* Chris Pearce landed new nsOggDecoder. Tracking a few regressions but things are mostly good or better.
* David Baron landed fix for :visited privacy leak. Looks good. Need to track site breakage and consider whether we should have special handling for same-origin links.
* Jonathan Kew reports that his Harfbuzz text shaping backend appears to give the same performance on try-server as the current Windows backend. The former is doing kerning and ligatures on all text while the latter is not, so this is actually a significant win --- if Tinderbox agrees on landing!

* Chris Double landed new YUV code but it bounced due to build issues. Working on it.
* Robert O'Callahan's retained-layers work reached a milestone; it can now retain layer trees (but not layer contents) between paints and pass reftests on Mac.
* Daniel Holbert working on <animateMotion> to animate motion of SVG content along a path.

= Content Update =
* No updates.

= Platform-specific Support Update =

= JS =

= Electrolysis =

* [josh] If you have Flash 10.1 or JavaPlugin2 installed on Mac OS X 10.6, trunk builds will run them out-of-process by default. There are some significant known bugs, but we think the exposure will help us resolve issues quickly.

= Startup Performance =

= Security =

= Breakpad =

= Tree Management =
* unittests-on-minis:
** now running unittests on 10.5, 10.6
** will turn off old unittests-on-10.5-builders soon
