* Bas landed the new Azure Canvas backend using Direct2D on mozilla-central. Nightly is much faster on a lot of benchmarks! | |||
** [http://www.basschouten.com/blog1.php/comparing-performance-azure-vs-cairo Preliminary results were published a while ago.] | |||
** Please test sites that use Canvas, and report bugs! | |||

* We got a break on an EnterMethodJIT crash! | |||
** Users had been reporting crashes on Yahoo Mail Beta ({{bug|655660}}) and others. | |||
** David Anderson was able to reproduce the crash and fix it. | |||
** The bug was a too-small bitfield holding patch locations for ICs that could grow very large. | |||
** This bug might be a good fraction of the EnterMethodJIT crashes we get. | |||
* We're starting work on GC topcrashes | |||
** Bill McCloskey is finishing a new Breakpad feature to snapshot stack traces at desired points (e.g., when GC runs) and put them in minidumps: {{bug|662646}}. | |||
** Figuring out these crashes will take a while--we'll need to experiment with different measurements and analyze data over time. | |||
