Minutes

  • Azure
    • Have Canvas2d/Azure working
    • Azure has D2D, Cairo, Quartz backends in the works. OpenGL and D3D not yet started.
    • D2D is main focus for Firefox 7; Cairo&Quartz less important for now.
    • Gives nice performance improvements in FishIE and FishBowl over current situation (canvas2d/cairo/d2d).
    • Finishing the FishBowl port involves transcoding video from h264 to vp8.
      • Should be easy (Joe, Jeff)
    • Let's turn Canvas2d/Azure/d2d on by default in nightlies soon.
      • But we must be prepared to keep it turned off in Aurora as long as needed.
    • Should there be separate blocklist entries for Azure/D2D as opposed to D2D, etc?
      • Answer: no. If we need to block Azure/D2D on a given machine, let's just block D2D altogether.
  • Fennec accelerated layers
    • Who's going to work on that?
      • Benoit; Jeff can once he's done with Cairo
    • We don't even know how much work is left to do
      • On my nexus S it starts, doesn't crash, but red and blue are interchanged, and there's lots of flickering.
  • Prioritization / feature pages
  • New Bugzilla flags
