The priorities for Q4 (October/November/December) 2019  
The priorities for Q4 (October/November/December) 2019  


=== Correctness ===
* Ship our WebRender targets for  70 and 71
** The target for 70 is Windows 10 desktop Intel, with low res screens
** The target for 71 is Windows 10 laptop Nvidia, with low res screens
* Work on performance improvements that will help unblock our ability to ship on more Intel
* Keep on top of important correctness bugs
* Make progress on Android


General correctness bugs are currently tracked the following queries. These are not considered blockers for releases and will be re-triaged to assess importance on a regular basis:
== Perf Infrastructure ==


<ul>
We’d like to be in a position to start shipping WebRender to Windows 10 Intel Laptops in early 2020. We know that battery performance is an issue and we need some infrastructure in place to help resolve that. We need some Our current plan is to re-measure battery performance after landing the following bugs and then determine what else we might need to do to improve this.
<li>WR-69: https://mzl.la/2Ngn4en</li>
<li>WR-70: https://mzl.la/2YR4Abk</li>
<li>WR-71: https://mzl.la/2MiOEHZ</li>
</ul>


=== Continued roll-out of WR ===

One of our main objectives throughout 2019 is to bring WebRender to market on core platforms. For Q3, our main deliverables (in addition to the Android work referenced above) are:
<bugzilla>
{
  "f3": "status_whiteboard",
  "o3": "anywordssubstr",
  "v3": "[wr-q41]",


* Identify target for initial WebRender  release on Android
  "resolution": "---",
* Identify further Android releases/devices to target
  "include_fields": "id,summary,assigned_to",
  "order": "resolution,assigned_to,id"
}
</bugzilla>


WebRender on Desktop
== Correctness ==


* Ship WebRender to more platforms each release for the remainder of 2019
General correctness bugs are currently tracked the following queries. These are being re-triaged to assess importance on a regular basis:
* Intel Windows 10 with low-res (less than 4K) screens - ride the trains for 69
** Update (08/19) we are moving this target to 70 due to this issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556634


Other
<ul>
 
<li>WR-71: https://mzl.la/2MiOEHZ</li>
* V1 plan for non-WebRender code path options
<li>WR-72: https://mzl.la/2pUB7wl</li>
** Notes about software backend options: https://github.com/servo/webrender/wiki/Software-backend
<li>WR-73: https://mzl.la/2JvXrmT</li>
* Determine how to measure battery impact of WebRender
</ul>
 
The work documented there will help with these specific goals for Q3, as well as our plans throughout the year.
