Chris Kitching

  • This week
    • bug 897772 – Got catapaulted into this bug. Still not entirely sure which direction it’s going to go in. Working on implementation of native encode/decode of JSON. Native decode implementation seemingly working, but causing absolutely every unit test to segfault (Some value of “working”). Unclear how to debug, since try doesn’t test debug builds and segfault doesn’t seem to occur locally. It IS somewhat faster, although the majority of the speedup is expected from the native encode anyway, which I’m yet to write.
    • bug 794981 – Dragging on longer than I’d hoped. Now essentially working, being thwarted by different types of nsString being used in different places in AndroidBridge. Generated code has no way to decide which such type to use. Seems to necessitate refactoring all callers to use a consistent flavour of string. Hopefully finishing up today.
    • bug 709230 – Still blocked on the above…
    • bug 904279 – This appeared. Initially thought to be (Yet another) regression from prior search config bug. Turns out to be a rather subtle bug that we just shipped. Whoops. Wrote an almost entirely unsuccessful patch to correct the issue (Seems my ability to reproduce this is somewhat lesser than Margaret’s). Looks like the multi-engine suggestion thing Brian N just mentioned might accidentially fix this anyway..
    • bug 892125/bug 892136 – Work continues – slowly for now – added missing JS helper script to dump needed information into Java on request, should now be straightforward to add UI to list addons and provide common configuration utilities. Remaining interesting part of this task is the addition of a system to parse the addon-defined xul files into Android preference screens. Hopefully will be less frantic to land than the last UI feature I added..
    • bug 895423 – Filed what is hopefully the final needed version of the patch for this one. Turns out Android styling was actually even more strange than I had first thought. I was presented with a Samsung Galaxy Ch@at to test on – this device is precisely as insane as its name suggests – found a bunch of weird edge cases in my patch making the icons not display correctly. Ended up essentially rewriting FaviconView. Icon display now consistent across all devices within easy reach from my desk. Pending review.
  • Next
    • Finish bug 794981, then bug 892125/bug 892136, followed by bug 709230 and bug 897772.
    • Next project – It was suggested that it’d be nice to get the Javadoc tool to work on the Fennec source code to produce something approximating documentation. Others are welcome to steal this.. Should be straightfowardish if you point it at the post-preprocessed code where applicable (Preliminary work suggested that the main problem with this was it getting confused by our preprocessed Java files. It’s also possible that bug 890586 blocks this…)

User Advocacy

We are still watching the Google Play issue, appears to be an infrastructure issue.

Now that we have fond the large issues in 23 (4.3 support and google play) we are beginning to dig into the other feedback to look for smaller issues.
