  • We've gathered feedback and will be turning it back off for now.
  • paul, robcee and shorlander did some UI planning last week. Slides

Performance

GFX

  • Quartz backend for the new 2D API (Azure) landed, on by default, for canvas.
    • Tracked in bug 692879.
    • OS X only, canvas only (for now).
    • Please test canvas demos, etc!
      • When testing, you can disable this implementation by toggling the pref gfx.canvas.azure.enabled to ensure it's actually a regression.

JS

Layout

Video

DOM

WebAPI

  • WebSMS nearly ready, might even land today (Fennec and linux).

Network

  • We need a test server for SPDY, we've decided to go with node-spdy. We're planning to require a local installation of node 0.7 or higher in order to test SPDY. We'll be requesting that node be deployed to our testing infrastructure for this.
  • Once SPDY testing is possible we'll be requesting that SPDY be turned on by default on mozilla-central, at least for a week. This should happen soon after the start of Firefox 13 development.

Plugins

Mobile

Accessibility

  • Work progressing on mobile and OSX a11y.
    • Team will follow up with a post to dev-platform or dev-planning regarding when and how to ship FF on OSX with a11y built in.

Tree Management

  • 10.5 leak builds happening for try on 10.6 machines
  • can we disable Mobile Desktop builds for m-c, project branches and aurora?

Stability Report

Socorro

  • Release on Friday - switch all timezones to UTC. Some dip in stats Friday but all looks normal now.

Trunk

  • bug 716289 Was the top crash but now should be fixed.
  • bug 717171 Crash @ js::ContextStack::currentScript. Currently #3 overall crash on trunk
  • bug 718284 Cycle collector crash when using the default Wikipedia(en) search plugin with HTTPS-Everywhere

Aurora

Roundtable

  • (bsmedberg) - bug 712032 is a rather new orange which appears to be related to cache incorrectness; it doesn't have an owner but I don't think we should ship a release with it.
