** 9 are FIXED, several have patches. | |||
** GFX team will be triaging these to see which absolutely need to block. | |||
** Looks good for a November 18 freeze date. | |||
* 3.5.4 crashes | |||
** We discovered once 3.5.4 had been released that we had caused two topcrashes: {{bug|524462}} and {{bug|525326}}. These were fallout from security bug fixes. | |||
** More testcases helps, and we're adding more. But the nature of graphics code (handling user-provided data) implies that it's very difficult to have fully complete test suites. | |||
** It's very likely that these could have been caught in a beta period for 3.5.4. Since we already look at crash-stats, should we just extend beta periods? Should we make it part of the "new release" signoff that we haven't introduced new topcrashes? | |||
* GFX team focusing on blockers, Electrolysis, crashes, and performance. | |||

** 18 blockers, but mostly (9) fixed on trunk and need 1.9.2 landing, or have patches, or we're not sure there's a bug | |||
** Silverlight issue fixed after conversation with Microsoft --- we're doing a trivial workaround for them calling NPN_Invalidate for a windowed plugin | |||

* CSS gradient syntax change ({{bug|513395}}) landed on m-c yesterday; backport to 1.9.2 is posted to the bug, the a1.9.2 queue, and the try server; would like to land it tonight or Wednesday morning assuming all is well | |||
* Layers API developed: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Layers. Implementation to proceed shortly. Send feedback. | |||
** Framework for hardware acceleration, 3D transforms, retained buffers for elements, cross-process rendering, off-main-thread compositing, animation and video playback | |||

* Almost done with a tool that shows numbers for all Talos tests across all branches for all platforms, summarizing median and mean per platform, including weekly difference, and difference from Firefox 3.5. | |||
* Found a scenario for stable cold startup numbers on Windows. Next step is to get a Talos patch up, and work with Rel/Eng to get it deployed into testing so we can see numbers on real Talos boxes. | |||
* Rob Strong split up the update service in bug 311965, has most reviews (affects all toolkit apps) and is about ready to land. This showed a significant win on WinCE startup. | |||
* Taras and Joel are working on {{bug|524202}}, tracking down exactly how and when dynamic library code is loaded. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524202#c3 this comment] for a good summary of the issue. | |||
