* Big, invasive, destabilizing changes. These are the sort of tasks that don't respond well to compression (e.g. throwing more people at it) and touch large pieces of the code and/or can destabilize other parts of the development. These are the sort of changes that once landed into the mainline development tree can become the long-pole for release and are difficult to unwind. From the Moz2 meetings it appears the following are in this category: | |||
** mmGC (including XPCOMGC) *already underway* | |||
** Exception support *already underway for tooling at least* | |||
** deCOM | |||
** Taramin JIT replacing SM *already underway* | |||
** Better threading support in the core layout engine | |||
** Centralized security checks | |||
** Removal of XPConnect | |||
** Major GFX pipeline changes | |||
** Protected mode | |||
* Medium sized, significant in impact changes. These are non-trival, but better isolated. Easier to turn off or backout. Things such as: | |||
** XBL2 | |||
** Frame construction cleanup | |||
** Inline re-flow | |||
** XUL box Model | |||
** Treaded parsing | |||
** Threaded image decoding | |||
** Fewer restarts (e.g. protected extension installs, etc) | |||
** Features needed for UE | |||
** UE improvements | |||
* Smaller, isolated changes. These are smaller, easy to turn off, or don't impact other critical paths: | |||
** Worker threads | |||
** Video | |||
** Minor CSS improvements | |||
** Jail tag | |||
** SVG animation | |||
** SVG fonts | |||
** Tabs between windows | |||
** UE improvements | |||
