Mobile 1.9.1 Update
- Now have WinCE builds mobile tinderbox is here, YouTube Video review of it on an HTC touch is here ;)
- bug 481566 We're seeing big responsiveness wins from this patch to the content sink. Patch isn't quite what we want, but need to find what we need.
- bug 67752 Interruptible reflow -- we're also seeing big wins here, would like to trunk as soon as possible and would like to get it landed on 1.9.1 at some point if possible
- We're seeing performance wins from turning on the chrome JIT. Having trouble coming up with good tools to measure as our current ones use JSD which disables the JIT.
- Seeing a small backlog of 1.9.1 approval requests piling up, none super urgent, but need to continue to get in.
- bug 422540 Asked Mike Kristoffersen to take a look at getting the gstreamer backend working for video since it is hardware accelerated on our devices. Unable to get more than 2-3 FPS with OGG.
Security
Security Reviews
Still outstanding / to be scheduled
- native JSON
- DNS prefetching
Booked but not yet completed
Tree Management
- Crash stacks for tests:
- on talos and unittests - yay!
- Needs to happen on try server still bug 483111
- Run unit tests on packaged builds bug 421611, bug 383136
- Got hung up on some xpcshell test issues bug 483202, should have updated patch today with good enough workaround, basically done modulo reviews at that point
- Should have this wrapped up in the next day or two. This should satisfy requirements for mobile.
Roundtable
- Turn off the SQL logging by default (file bugs on performance problems)
- These warnings won't solve the problem, since you can't know whether you've fixed a performance problem if you don't measure it. Real bug: need performance tests for storage users, and storage itself.
- Going to take the patch currently in bug 481261, and disable existing warning queries and file bugs on them.
- Consider localStorage feature land on 1.9.1, bug 422526
- Did we have the security review?
- still needs to land on trunk (needs review bz)?
- see dev.planning thread on the topic
- Nick Nethercote will be doing a Valgrind brown bag presentation next week. All devs are encouraged to join. Nick is a core contributor to Valgrind. I'll send out a note to dev-planning with instructions on how the public can join.
- Quicktime/DirectShow prioritization
- roc & co want to deprioritize
- unscoped work to get it on 191
- maintenance headache
- disagreement about how well this aligns with our goals for supporting open video
- supporting these backends means supporting non-open video formats such as WMP, QT, etc
- however it does promote use of the <video>
