Topics for This Week

Friends of the Mobile Team

Give a shoutout/thanks to people for helping fix and test bugs. Make sure friends also get awarded a badge.

  • Michael Boon is working on bug 791475 – Android updater notification should provide more information like progress
  • Capella fixed bug 913756 – Text Selection Handles displayed from position in previously navigated screen and bug 912523 – Give bookmark thumbnails a context menu header
  • Augustin Trancart fixed bug 711959 which makes fling animations in Fennec stop spawning new threads, and should also reduce occasional glitching. This was a tricky bug to get right (and it took a while to do) but Augustin did a great job!

Suggested format:

  • What did you do last week?

  • Favicon madness

While trying to solve bug 895423, ended up revamping Favicon caching system to avoid horrible workaround. There was some collateral damage: (Mostly awaiting review)

    • bug 914027 – Stop the Favicon cache from trying to decode things it can’t decode.
    • bug 748100 – Add support for decoding ICO Favicons.
    • bug 914296 – Add more intelligent Favicon caching. (No more wasteful resizing)
    • bug 888326 – Clean up Favicon caching in preparation for above.
    • bug 753356 – Solve a strictMode violation in Favicon load.
    • bug 782823 – Stop about: pages from causing an exception for Favicon load.
    • bug 813810 – Don’t pixelate large Favicons (Were being downscaled and then upscaled lossily)
    • bug 759501 – Load Favicons earlier (Covered by patch to another bug)
    • bug 855911 – Fix rendering issue that was speckle-ifying the NVidia favicon.
    • bug 834536 – Key the Favicon cache with favicon URLs, not page URLs – should get many more cache hits.
    • bug 887492 – Refactor Favicon API.
    • bug 758458 – Covered by above.

    • Filed:

  • Proguard madness
    • bug 794981 – First part of generator landed. A stop closer to Proguard!
    • bug 914760 – Made the above irritate rnewman less.
