* Cairo merge is getting close but it's hard to know how close because Try server hasn't been able to run linux talos runs for the last couple of days. | |||

* Direct2D landed on trunk! Preffed off by default, and there are a lot of bugs being discovered. See more information on how to test in [[Platform/GFX/Direct2DDemo|the Direct2D demo wiki page]]. | |||
* Landed first round of layer patches on trunk. One or two minor visual-glitch regressions, no observed performance regressions. | |||
* Need to get an OpenGL layers backend up this month for Fennec to experiment with, but spending the next couple of weeks polishing D2D is probably a slightly higher priority for tactical reasons | |||

* Robert Longson has been fixing lots of SVG bugs, currently bugs related to clipPath | |||
* "transparent" attribute on IFRAMEs is working pretty well for Jetpack; should land on 1.9.2 | |||
* Down to just one mochitest failure with {{bug|130078}} patches applied (in test_hover); still major problems with zoomed documents and print preview | |||
** Removing child widgets will interact with Electrolysis content-window processes; see post to dev.platform | |||
* Working on having layout retain layer trees between paints; this will also rework scrolling to not blit pixels on the screen. Instead for speed we'll be relying on copies from retained layer buffers. See post to dev.platform. Should speed up scrolling in many situations. | |||
