Core Priorities
Shipping WebRender
We want to keep shipping WebRender to as many targets as possible each quarter. Below is a list of releases in Q1 and what we are aiming to ship per release:
- 72 (Jan 7)
- WR on Android for Pixels 2, 3, 2XL and 3XL
- WR for Nvidia laptops with small screen
- 73 (Feb 11)
- WR on Adreno 5xx and 6xx families https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1602597
- 74 (March 10)
- WR on a specific slice of Intel Laptions (TBD based on compositor work)
As part of this effort, we will need to monitor and fix any critical correctness or perf bugs that appear that could potentially block shipping those targets. Here is a list of metabugs where we will track any key bugs we will be monitoring for this effort:
