Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements
We are hoping to make 4 major improvements to the Mac OS X plugin architecture in Gecko 1.9:
- 344425 - support NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()"
- (DONE) 336060 - use a slower idleEvent timer for plugins that are not in a foreground tab on the key window
- 344427 Support Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, as proposed below. Significant changes include support for 64-bit plugins and allowing 32-bit plugins to use CoreGraphics.
- 347511 - support .webplugin plugins
This is pretty ambitious, but we can start cutting if we need to when we get close to the deadline.
Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models Spec
Mac:NPAPI_Drawing_Models contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, which happens to solve the problem of 64-bit plugins on Mac OS X. The spec is not final and will be updated as changes are made.
