; Beta Status: We are not releasing a beta this week. We made the decision that rendering performance (panning and checkerboarding) was not good enough for a beta release. Patrick and BenWa started work on using GL-layers in Gecko/Android to improve rendering performance. Work has also started on off-main thread compositing (OMTC) to make panning more responsive. Erin and Alex are working on schedule impact and planning. We should have more details sometime today or tomorrow. Other work continues to drive down crashes, improve stability and improve UI responsiveness.
