Platform/2009-Q3-Goals: Difference between revisions

* Win integration work (jimm)

** Improvements to parental controls support (blocked content management, extension manager support).

*** Taskbar drop lists support for Firefox and Thunderbird.

*** Support for tablet pc pen events.

*** Touch input improvements (Prototype new gesture events for touch input rather than using mouse event simulations, smarter text selection logic, "big pointer" UI improvements?, implement smarter toggle zoom).

*** General: make sure new win7 features are covered (including tests!)

* Keep working on CSS WG duties (dbaron, fantasai)

** SVG/SMIL complete enough that we enable it by default (dholbert)  

** Implement SVG/SMIL bug fixes and features (birtles)

** Implement SVG images (roc)

** Land CSS Transitions (dbaron)

** Harfbuzz text backend prototype in tree (jfkthame) ''Possible security and performance improvements as well''

** Animation control via compositor, including JS animation API (roc) ''Performance improvement, front-end assistance''

** An implementation of SVG pointer-events for HTML (jwatt)  

** Get some of our tests into the official SVG test suite in a reftest-like format (jwatt) ''Good for SVG, should help us do better in comparisons''

** Simplify GTK2 widget code (e.g. remove mozdrawingarea) (karlt)  

** Clean up some block layout code (remove float cache, remove float continuations) (fantasai)

** Implement dead-frame exploit mitigation (zwol)

* Rapidly resolve any critical issues uncovered by the Firefox 3.5 release (doublec, kinetik, cpearce)

* Improve performance in some significant way (e.g., be able to drop frames without decoding them) (doublec, kinetik, cpearce)

** Advertise the HTML5 parser's availability to testers to get more feedback.

** Off main thread HTML5 parsing as a prerequisite for turning HTML5 parsing on by default.

** Propose a long term plan for the generated C++ in the HTML5 parser.

** Attachment, detachment, through all three binding mechanisms.

** Initial rendering of the shadow tree.

** Insertion points (<children>).

** Design and implement an way for JetPack to safely expose APIs to untrusted code.

** Propose an API to add names to the global namespace from JS extensions.

** Evaluate the feasibility of proposals such as IndexOf() redesign (per bz's proposal in mozilla.dev.tech.dom) and changing DOM node child list storage from array to linked list or maybe B-tree with backpointers from DOM-nodes to B-tree nodes.

** Profile DOM performance problems beyond the JS to C++ bridge.

** Write a test application with a child process that does plain HTTP over IPC through necko in the main process.

* vm perf issues

* tracing

** improved traced cases
