Project Updates
Australis
- Lessened the WinXP tpaint regression by about 2.5ms, which puts us still around an 11% regression. mconley was able to see a great improvement when switching from a for-of loop to a vanilla for loop.
- Additionally, there’s a nice win coming for Windows from the work mstange, MattN and Gijs have been doing in bug 894099
- Bookmarks widget functionality patch complete, pending r=mconley, working on styling

SessionStore
- Close to landing Promise.jsm patches.
- Working on a prototype and discussing e10s approaches.
- Session Data Cache for tabs should land soon.
- Working on moving more I/O logic to the worker.
Places API asyncification
- Some good progress on the new transactions API (Bug 891303). Pending initial review now.
- Now working on switching the transactions to use GUIDs so that we don’t need to break the API once again later.
- Bug 894331 and Bug 890203 are major blockers for landing this feature, and in fact, for most further work on asyncifiying places client code.
