• Plugins
  • Stuart has a plan
    • We should use the egl equiv of texture_from_pixmap on both sides of the plugin and continue passing a pixmap around but use a texture both with layers and with the plugin. Zero copy and cross-process!
  • Romaxa has a patches:
    • (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554270, - NPP_ImageDraw into memory buffer, first API proposal is done)
      • Also possible to implement Pepper API rendering part (no proposal yet, who should create it?)
    • (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556487, - basic layers implementation for plugins, with X/GL - stuart's plan, with ImageSurface - bug 554270) - blocked by retained layers implementation.

• Gfx
  • 16bpp Patches - (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545632 - need review)
  • Fast Scaling (552142 - works fine with patches applied + latest pixman, need testing on e10s fennec)
  • callback happens just before paint (old tiles are shown and then repainted)

• Front-end
  • add remote support to browser XBL binding (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560827)

• Other things
  • js alerts
    • (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516749, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548847) The existing nsIWindowProvider API could be used for opening new tabs. I have locally the patch for alerts/prompts/confirm etc, but need to still figure out how to handle showModalDialog since that is actually pretty different thing. If anyone wants the current patch, ping me on IRC - smaug
