Minutes:
- (no need to discuss, just FYI) http://people.mozilla.org/~bjacob/gfx_features_stats/
- Seeing unexpected noise in webgl results, (weekend variation?)
- 300k crashes/day; 4k using WebGL
- WebGL conformance (bjacob, dsherk)
- Test suite update finally landed last week
- dRdR has fixed 5-ish bugs
- Remainder of the bugs discovered by the new test suite are being sorted out quickly
- Test suite seems to be of much higher quality: fewer intermittent oranges, better testing
- WebGL antialiasing (jgilbert)
- Running into 2 crashers, one with ANGLE, one with WGL
- bjacob recommends we land preffed off
- SoftwareRasterizer (for mobile) (Bas, mwoodrow)
- Quick and dirty software rasterizer (faster but lower quality than pixman)
- mattwoodrow notices that there seems to be a lot of things that are blocked on content drawing speed
- Layout doesn't use layers optimally right now
- Curve flattening, data structures, etc can potentially be re-used for Emerald
- jrmuizel suggests we try Skia first, since it's fast
- D3D9 regression (BenWa)
- Reproduced the regression intermittently by using the Talos tp4.manifest file. Not sure what the best way to proceed.
- GL Layers on Android (ajuma, benwa)
- Working on getting talos numbers for turning on the feature. No change seen when landing this on however the feature was correctly turned on.
- Working on a user space profiler. So far we seem to be getting accurate numbers. Ehsan is adding a GUI and further instrumentation is required.
- Black flash on orientation change and resume. Should also fix crashes. Let us know if you're seeing crashes.
- heeen's update for GL layers on mobile
- Working on scrolling
- Awesomebar, history much faster
- Performance problem with scrollbox with the batch size attribute
- Glitches with the URL bar. Layer conflict problem?
- Out-of-place URL bar on Maemo, similar to problem we had with Android.
- Working on scrolling
- Testday last Friday, August 26 (joe)
- Testday metrics
- 15 bugs triaged
- Joe also did two videos as part of being a "guest developer" on the test day:
- Other developers who would like to be guest developers are wanted! Contact Matt Evans or Anthony Hughes about participating.
- Synthetic Bold Ownership (jpr)
- bug 674909 - there's a question about how we're using Cairo
- Bas to make helpful comments on the bug and ask if John's blocked on anything
- Demos and Talks (jpr)
- Tell JP if you have ideas for demos or lightning talks
