-== Mac OS X NPAPI Event Models Spec ==
+== Changes Made After Gecko 2.0.0 ==
-[[Mac:NPAPI_Event_Models]] contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Event Models. This spec adds support for the Cocoa event model, which replaces the aging and 64-bit incompatible Carbon event model. The spec is close to final but more changes may be made.
+* Dropped support for the Carbon NPAPI event model.
+* Dropped support for the Quickdraw NPAPI drawing model.
+* Removed support for gathering plugin meta data from old-school resource files.
-== Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models Spec ==
+== Gecko 2.0.0 Plugin Changes ==
-[[Mac:NPAPI_Drawing_Models]] contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models. This spec allows plugins to render using CoreGraphics and also solves the problem of 64-bit plugins on Mac OS X. The spec is close to final, however last-minute changes may occur.
+* {{nbug|435041}} - Added support for the Cocoa event model.
+* {{nbug|497225}} - Added support for the Core Animation drawing model.
+* Added support for out-of-process plugins. Requires that plugins use the Cocoa event model along with either Core Graphics or Core Animation drawing.
-== Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements ==
+== Gecko 1.9.2 Plugin Changes ==
-* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344427 344427] Support Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, as proposed below. This will allow plugins to draw using CoreGraphics instead of Quickdraw.
+* {{nbug|467429}} - "NP_GetEntryPoints" is now the only way to get function pointers, Gecko will not call "main".
-* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344425 344425] - support NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()"
+* {{nbug|467417}} - Removed support for CFM binary plugins.
-* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336060 336060] - use a slower idleEvent timer for plugins that are not in a foreground tab on the key window
+* {{nbug|386676}} - Plugin testing system added to the Mozilla tree.
+* NPAPI header and SDK improvements.
+* General bug fixes.
-== Gecko 2.0 Plugin Improvements ==
+== Gecko 1.9.1 Plugin Changes ==
-* New event model, negotiated in 32-bit mode and the only choice in 64-bit mode. The proposal for the new event model is under development.
-* NP_GetEntryPoints will become the only way to get function pointers in 64-bit, we will not call "main()".
-* Remove Quickdraw plugin model support for 32-bit plugins? There will never be Quickdraw plugin model support for 64-bit plugins.
-== Future Plugin Improvements (Post Gecko 2.0) ==
+* {{nbug|350109}} - Added support for reading plugin meta data from bundle plist file.
+* Improved NPAPI headers and SDK.
+* General bug fixes.
-* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347511 347511] - support .webplugin plugins
+== Gecko 1.9.0 Plugin Changes ==
+* {{nbug|344427}} - Added support for Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models. This allows plugins to draw using CoreGraphics instead of Quickdraw.
+* {{nbug|344425}} - Added support for NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()".
