Major Topics for This Week

Application

Native Front-end

  • Basic philosophy:
    • Keep more logic and behavior in JS and less in the native UI.
    • Keep the UI dumb
    • If we do need to port, we can reuse the non-native code more easily

Android Platform

Stand ups

Suggested format:

  • What did you do last week?
  • What are working on this week?
  • Anything blocking you?

Snorp

Last week:

  • Made Flash draw to a layer, which should reduce one copy. It also matches the way Flash draws a little better.
  • Fix some graphics invalidation issues
  • Worked on making RGBA work, but found that we really need the gfx team to do some work there. Jeff is investigating.
  • Work around some deadlock issues found with native UI

This week:

  • Debugged why video doesn’t work, but still don’t really know why
  • Worked on filling in some gaps in the ANPCanvas API. Drawing text is hard.
  • Out thurs/fri/mon for a wedding

Next week:

  • More of the same, but also need to figure out click-to-play and HC/ICS support

Kats

Last week:

  • scroll window as needed with soft keyboard up (696319)
  • attempt a fix for the java stack traces not showing up in logs (692185)
  • fixed an NPE in the awesome bar (when history is cleared), also some tweaks (removed incorrect entries from panes) (697528)
  • fixed an NPE that caused fennec to crash on rotation (697183)
  • fixed makefile problem where strings.xml wasn’t getting rebuilt properly (697433)
  • implemented the “forward” feature (695165), discovered a bug where gecko and java can get out of sync, fixed that too (697732)
  • fixed awesome screen history results showing only page url (697803)
  • added scroll indicators (695569)
  • fixed race conditions in tab code (697987)
  • had the about:crashes bug (694563) but kbrosnan closed that as wfm since he couldn’t repro

This week:

  • looking at find-on-page (695172)
  • some residual issues left over from last week
    • scroll indicators need to be less opaque?
    • threading warning for nsAndroidHistory

Blockers:

  • right now need to figure out what’s the best UI for find-on-page. exploring how well overlays on top of the gecko surface work, as that will determine if we need to use a screen-width find bar or can get away with a partial-width bar

GBrown

Last week:

  • startup cache: js/xul not updated — resolved (bug 695145)
  • startup cache: can build at package time…but then how/when do we unpack it? thoughts/comments appreciated (bug 696095)
  • bug 602611: 2-level cache (memory -> disk) — discussing with Bjarne

Next week:

  • finish startup cache
  • concentrate on disk cache

AlexP

  • Last week:
    • Investigated and fixed IME bugs:
      • Bug 632542 – Text entered with SlideIT VKB sometimes disappears
      • Bug 640025 – Clear text function using ezKeyboard does not work
      • Bug 618921 – the chat capability of etherpad application doesn’t work with fennec
    • Coordinated the efforts on testing the IME with Naoki Hirata, tested some older bugs to confirm they are fixed.
  • This week:

  • If I get displayport working, integrate it with pcwalton’s pan-zoom queue

    • Work on refining panning/zooming in pcwalton’s pan-zoom queue
