Layout Update

• Blocker report

    • Need triage, but nothing scary on the list

• Discuss changing CSS gradient syntax for 1.9.2

Content Update

• (josh) We have an accepted spec for Linux plugin accessibility and Novell is working on a patch for 1.9.3. Works with out-of-process plugins.
  • https://wiki.mozilla.org/Plugins:NativeAccessibility

Platform-specific Support Update

• (josh) Still waiting on sqlite library conflict resolution (bug 513747) so we can produce 64-bit Mac OS X builds without patches and set up a tinderbox. This also blocks running mochitests on 10.6.
• (smichaud) 1.9.2/JEP update -- old bugs fixed, new bugs found:
  • bug 513979: (Disable Java setting not preserved when switching from FF 3.5 to 3.6) fixed and landed, in beta1.
  • bug 521818: fixed and landed, not in beta1.
  • bug 522962: needs to be fixed in JEP, probably not a blocker.
  • bug 523129: patch available.

JS

• Continuing allocation performance improvements
• recursive function changes
• identified major source of browser/shell perf delta: wrappers / security checks. About 15% on SunSpider.

Tree Management

• Cold Ts on Mac and Linux turned on last week
• Turned on 'make check' tests on optimized and debug builds on trunk and project branches.
• Turned on valgrind tests on debug builds on linux tracemonkey
• 8 new mac slaves added to build/test pool today, 2 xserves coming soon
• Proposing to land split-mochitests on Thursday morning.

Roundtable

• Plan for Websockets patch? [roc]
