Notices / Schedule

Firefox 3.6.4 beta build 1 went out late Friday, April 16th
Schedule is at risk due to newly found issues (see blocker section)
Firefox 3.5.10 is getting final submissions this week
Will likely want a build of 3.5.10 and 3.6.4 on Monday April 26th (after RelEng Toronto work week)

Timothy Nikkel landed lazy frame construction --- significant performance improvements for certain kinds of scripts and benchmarks, mainly those that add and remove lots of DOM elements
Daniel Holbert has mostly finished <animateMotion>, moving on to adding support for SVG images
Matthew Gregan blogged about playing Ogg Theora using DSP decoding and GL on the N900: full-screen (800x480) 26 FPS with CPU 80% idle
- Needs some work to integrate into Gecko, but currently lower priority than other work
All but one of the reproducible sg:critical bugs have patches

Matt Woodrow's retained path patches are being reviewed; small win on path-heavy benchmark on Mac, hopefully much larger wins on Windows/D2D (working on that now)
Michael Ventnor landed major performance improvements for box-shadows with blur
Last week, Ehsan landed lazy editor initialization; speeds up loading of pages with lots of text controls
