Platform/2010-Q1-Goals: Difference between revisions

** {{risk|Implement the Gecko Layers API in software (Thebes) and at least one hardware implementation.}}

** {{risk|Implement full-screen, accelerated (YUV->RGB) video on top of the Gecko Layers API.}}

** {{ok|Implement shared memory tile browsing, using Electrolysis, for Fennec.}}

** {{ok|Improve out-of-process plugin performance.}}

** {{ok|Continue to support the Electrolysis and startup time projects.}}

** Add CSS parser support for additional OpenType-related font-variant properties

* {{ontrack|Improve the Web platform by contributing to tests and specifications by publishing the CSS2.1 test suite RC and/or identifying advanced layout specs for the future of the web.}}

* {{atrisk|Improve the Web platform by implementing key features and correctness fixes to enable the use of SVG animation and more CSS3 features (Backgrounds, borders, or calc(), text-overflow, etc.) in the next release.}}

* {{ontrack|Improve perceived and measured performance in SVG, bidi, reflow, and CSS.}}

* {{ontrack|Complete general product improvements like Layers to enable more hardware acceleration.}} See Gfx for concrete layers work items.

* {{ontrack|Complete removing dependencies on unnecessary third-party libraries.}}

* {{missed|Hardware-accelerated video rendering in Gecko on all platforms with suitable graphics hardware (20+fps full-screen on N900).}} ''We won't get accelerated full-screen video on N900 mainly because an OpenGL layers backend won't be ready in time to support this. However, we do have 25fps full-screen video working in our test player, with ~50% CPU utilization.''

* {{risk|Move the web forward by landing WebSockets, enabling the HTML 5 parser by default, and/or finishing more File spec API improvements (i.e., File.url).}}

** {{risk|WebSockets has r+, but needs another review. Reviews may happen, but testing infrastructure for it is unlikely to be ready}}

** {{risk|HTML 5 parser code is likely to be done, and reviewed, but testing infrastructure is lagging behind and is unlikely to be ready by the end of the quarter.}}

* {{ok|Ship out of process plugins betas for windows and continue forward progress on full Electrolysis plans by getting basic HTTP working across processes and implementing multi-proc event handling.}}

** {{ok|OOPP}}

** {{ok|HTTP across processes}}

* {{ok|Improve performance by eliminating more cycles between JIT generated code and our DOM code, and by speeding up our DOM implementation as well.}}

* {{risk|Investigate (and fix as needed) the impact of Firebug on Firefox performance and memory usage}}

* {{ok|Continue to improve responsiveness: GC}}

** {{risk|reduce performance uniformity issues (slow on some kinds of code)}}

** {{risk|SunSpider / v8 perf improvements, another 30%.}}

** {{ok|jsval 64-bit representation - this allows better perf on win64 and snow leopard.}}

* {{ok|Basic inline threading system. This should be able to run almost all programs with inline threading, be at least a little faster with the tracing jit on, and be no slower with the tracing jit off.}}

* {{ok|Drive web accessibility with HTML5 (+ARIA)}}

** {{ok|address changes to WAI-ARIA specification}}

** {{ok|resolve known WAI-ARIA and HTML5 conflicts}}

** {{ok|participate in canvas accessibility}}

* {{risk|Drive accessible editing on the web}}

** {{risk|Get agreement on editor keyboard behavior.}}

* {{risk|Make Fennec + Multi-Process fully functional (ready to measure and tune performance)}}

* {{ok|Integrate Multi-Process/Thread architecture into JetPack}}
