Project Updates

Australis

  • Notable bugs fixed within the past week:
    • bug 881905 - Can't drag Facebook button to main customization palette
    • bug 881905 - Make Downloads Panel anchor to the chevron if it is overflowed

    • bug 919541 - Consider not animating the opacity for Australis tabs
      • [from mconley] This seemed to cut our total regression by over 37.9% on XP. We started with a total TART regression in the neighbourhood of 6.35%, and ended up with a total TART regression of 3.94%
      • Check out our perf regression now
    • bug 885579 - Narrow widgets dropped on a wide widget should place the narrow widget above the wide widget

    • bug 875479 - Australis toolbar buttons for Linux
    • bug 916953 - Bookmarks button in overflow panel looks broken
  • Net bug changes
    • P1: -4 (was 10, now 6)
    • P2: -2 (was 17, now 15)
  • Performance
    • Vladan is investigating whether our ts_paint regression even exists anymore, or if we're just seeing measurement noise.
    • avih is trying to get us more accurate TART measurements for OS X
    • mconley is trying to find out why the URL bar merge slowed us down, and trying various experiments to speed us back up.
    • Current investigations:
      • bug 917795 - Find out why UX branch got better on TART between 1cbed63f3eea and 401c71c3732d
      • bug 916859 - Find out why UX branch regressed on TART at merge changeset c375e7bc34b3
