  • [mcomella via cpeterson on yammer] Americans’ attitude on privacy: http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/05/20/americans-attitudes-about-privacy-security-and-surveillance/
    • Disclaimer: It’s long and I did not read it
  • [mcomella] Can I get some help compiling a list of our dashboards & tests to put on wiki.mozilla.org? I’d like to know what automated metrics we test & check for on mobile. For example, eideticker, areweslimyet, etc.
    • I feel I’m losing track of what areas we focus on and try to prevent regressions. e.g. in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1217415 the user mentioned we’re slower than chrome to show content, making it feel like we’re slower in general, but then I found out we don’t run eideticker anymore and only seem to test first-run perf on autophone. Seems lacking – am I missing something?

  • Platform Meeting Notes
  • I’m still working on iOS stuff. Have an embeddable Framework and example appnow, just trying to get some stuff reviewed. Also got accelerated H264 video going.
  • Jim is finishing the native-ization of IME calls. Working on headless mode next.
  • Randall got past the major blocker that was preventing APZ tests from passing. Things looking really good now, just a couple remaining test failures which he hopes to address this week. APZpocalypse next week?
  • Eugen is tweaking some JS stuff to improve performance. We seem to be over-optimizing things, which ends up taking more time than if we just ran the interpreter (!). He’s also figuring out why video is busted in Nightly.
  • Dylan still banging his head against the reftest harness mess. Making progress, though.

Team Updates

Android platform

snorp, jchen, rbarker, esawin, droeh

  • Notes
  • I landed my gfx patches — got some good checkerboarding improvements according to talos (73%). I regressed Mac, though, so….probably need to look at that.
  • Did a bunch of work on Gecko for iOS. Fixed up WebGL, now looking to get the Gecko thread split out from the iOS main thread.
  • Landed a fix for the battery rounding thing (bug 1191918)
  • Eugen is fixing up test failures from the VP9 stuff, and also doing more investigation into JS slowness. Found that things are actually faster if we disable the JIT.
  • Dylan still looking into reftest whackiness, closing in on a solution
  • Randall is still fighting coordinate system badness with synthetic mouse events (used in mochitest). We probably need a fairly major change to the widget event stuff to fix this. He’s discussing with DOM/layout/widget folks.
  • Jim landed some stuff to move prefs code over to native calls. He’s now working on doing the same with IME. He also fixed some fallout from earlier patches regarding viewport event coalescing. Looking at headless stuff Soon.

margaret, ally, liuche, mcomella, mhaigh, sebastian

  • [mcomella] In bug 1201206, I will have our app inherit from the “AppCompat” base styles from the support library.
    • I’ll send out an email when this lands, but look-out for styles that have changed and don’t look right! Particularly on lesser used API levels (e.g. Gingerbread)
    • This is to allow use of some support library features which require the styles (e.g. DialogFragment)
    • Will also eventually move towards a unified UI across API levels (bug 1202076).
  • [mcomella] Material 3-dot menu icon (i.e. round 3-dot icon) fallout is fixed – let me know if you see further issues
  • [sebastian] Project “KidFox”: Everything’s fixed in Nightly and Aurora. bug 1203011 has not been uplifted in time (Merge Day). Requested uplift for Beta.
