Topics for This Week
- Favicon Work Landed
- Chris Kitching's major overhaul of the favicon system landed (see bug 914296). We found a few regressions, but keeping looking. This is a Fx27 feature. Any bugs that were fixed by the overhaul, but are also needed on Fx26 need other less risky patches.
- RTL Work
- The group of students working on RTL have been making some progress. A patch is up for changing our AndroidManifest.xml to advertise that we want to use RTL (see bug 924418). More layout and code patches are needed before we land anything though.
