Layout

• Jonathan Kew's font inspector API landed. You can now write extensions that will tell you exactly what font(s) are being used to render any given DOM range --- including the entire document, or a single character. For downloaded fonts you can get metadata including the license.

Plugins

• [josh] Bug 90268: Content ownership of plugin instances is mostly working on all platforms. Patch is on the holly branch. Need to fix remaining test failures and some to-do items before reviews can start. Can probably have that done and reviews started by the end of the week.

Network

• [hurley] NeckoNet now available. Standalone test suite for networking. Can record and replay test pages with different builds against custom-configured networking conditions. Will be adding features and improving usability quickly.

Tree Management

• Tree closure Wednesday June 22nd, 8-11am PDT
  • bug 662071 - improve network link between datacentres
  • bug 652191 - clobberer fixes
