Minutes from This Meeting

Overall Goals

• A specific focus performance regressions: We will define milestones and performance targets and strive to reach them. Note: Will use the graph server to see and track international page rendering.
• Begin immediately focusing on "+" bugs.
• Significantly reduce the number of blocker bugs.

Layout

• Enable new textframe (roc)
• Complete compositor (roc)
• Fix Major Regressions From the Reflow Branch Landing:
  • bug 300030 (dbaron)
  • bug 332922 (dbaron)
• Get style system tested under mochitest well enough to catch common mistakes when adding CSS properties (dbaron)
• add reftests for reflow branch work (particularly table width calculation) (dbaron)
• make progress on layout invariant assertions (dbaron)
• Accessibility Improvement: key 1.9 style system changes: media queries (bug 156716), always use my colors pref bug 348637 (dbaron)
• additional important (user-facing) patches: scroll position restoration bug 43114, link handling bug 335963 (dbaron)
• progress on top CSS bugs (dbaron)
• Implement Unicode-compatible line breaking (smontagu)
• International text issues from new textframe (smontagu) ? (Does this mean we won't have any issues with international text?)
• Initialize editors for at least single-line text controls lazily (bzbarsky)
• Get enn's popup rewrite reviewed (bzbarsky)

GFX

• Feature-complete gfx -- need to sync with Firefox plans for UI demands from gfx (mconnor); same applies to SVG (tor)
• No functional regressions in gfx rendering
• Some goal about overall performance; parity with 1.8 might be too difficult for this quarter (but would be on the list for the next), though maybe not
• Rewriting parts of CSS Rendering for performance/correctness (initially borders/outlines -- vlad)

Mac OS X

• Stabilize Cocoa widgets (have a small blocker list)
• Finish or be very close to finishing a new appshell implementation
• Finish or be very close to finishing native form controls for Mac OS X

Content

• Make style sheets know their principal and make URI/Image CSSValues know what their originating principal is (bzbarsky)
• Land the "don't block parser on stylesheets" patch (bzbarsky)
• Stop adding <br> nodes to plaintext in editor (depends on new textframe) (bzbarsky)

JS

• Convince reference implementation of JS2/ES4 to pass spidermonkey and AS3 testsuites
• Fix bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363891

Toolkit

• Develop breakpad client/server with all the features and QA reports needed for a release
• Finish the FF+XR build system to ship the resulting builds, and fix the mac UB builds (bsmedberg)
