<Read Only>

Sprints

Firefox OS Productivity (doliver)

Firefox OS Radio/WiFi/GPS (kenhkchang)

Firefox OS Systems - Front End (gwagner)

Firefox OS Systems - Platform (timdream)

GFX (milan)

  • OMTC
    • Stuck on Windows, asked for some help on a timing related issue (bug 1005317)
    • Moving well on basic compositor (with non-graphics team helping). We anticipate the removal of Xrender messing with performance on Linux, but we'll find out what things look like. Not blocking the Windows landing.
  • Skia
    • Continuing sifting through the reftest failures.
  • APZ
    • Awaiting feedback from UX on the flywheel scrolling
    • Getting closer to the definition for the first pass at overscroll effect
  • Quality
    • B2G/E10S debug test shutdown issues are being worked on. It's a bit of a mess.

Identity (jedp)

<Read Only>

The new Sync in Fx29 is a success

  • 530k accounts created
  • Over 400k accounts since Fx29 GA
  • Currently 300k active users

Congratulations to ckarlof, the sync team, and everyone who helped make this happen

JS (naveed)

Layout (jet/dbaron)

Media (mreavy)

<Read Only>

  • bug 881512: MSE/VP9 video plays on YouTube but not ready to pref on yet
  • MediaStreamGraph refactor continues soon; next phase nearing reviews
    • final result should cut delay and eliminate sources of underruns/delay buildups for some webrtc and Web audio uses
  • webrtc.org 3.50 update should be ready this week we hope
  • Media oranges are a major focus. Many WebRTC ones are tied to the test_ipc or e10-s tests (especially some ICE failures).
    • suspect TYPE_REPEATING_PRECISE timers used in fake audio streams are causing some of the other test-didn't-finish failures

Necko (dougt/jduell)

Performance (vladan)

<Read Only>

Performance fixes:

  • bug 785487: Search service was falling back to synchronous initialization
  • bug 988292: Avoid main-thread IO for {profile}\addons.json

Performance measurement & regression tests:

  • bug 936630: Added new test measuring time to restore a session
  • bug 1006551: Working on new Talos test to measure smoothness of scrolling using the more realistic TP5 pages
  • bug 1006531: Modifying Talos tests to measure OMTC performance
  • bug 982598: Helping out with HTTP cache2 regressions

Other:

Seceng (mmc)

  • bug 744204: Public Key Pinning (built-in) has landed in nightly (default off). To enable it change the preference "security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level" to 1 (allow MITM) or 2 (strict enforcement). This will enable pinning for addons.mozilla.org and the mozilla cdn.

Shumway (tschneidereit)

<Read Only>

  • getting close to landing the nat branch, containing huge refactorings, on master. That'll bring fundamentally better compatibility and, almost more importantly, test coverage for the ActionScript virtual machine and our native bindings
  • timeline event handling is much improved on the nat branch. Passing extensive test suite
  • prototype implementation of Shumway as a jsplugin, based on the work in bug 558184
  • ShumwayWorker now WebIDL-based. Should land (on Nightly only, preffed-off) soon-ish
  • good progress on GL rendering backend

WebAPI (overholt)

  • No update this week. Work continues on PBackground-ification, Web sockets in workers, Broadcast Channel API, Manifest implementation, Service Workers, ...
