Stand ups

Suggested format:

• What did you do last week?
• What are working on this week?
• Anything blocking you?

Snorp

Last week:

• Made Flash draw to a layer, which should reduce one copy. It also matches the way Flash draws a little better.
• Fix some graphics invalidation issues
• Worked on making RGBA work, but found that we really need the gfx team to do some work there. Jeff is investigating.
• Work around some deadlock issues found with native UI

This week:

• Debugged why video doesn't work, but still don't really know why
• Worked on filling in some gaps in the ANPCanvas API. Drawing text is hard.

Next week:

• More of the same, but also need to figure out click-to-play and HC/ICS support

Kats

Last week:

• scroll window as needed with soft keyboard up (696319)
• attempt a fix for the java stack traces not showing up in logs (692185)
• fixed an NPE in the awesome bar (when history is cleared), also some tweaks (removed incorrect entries from panes) (697528)
• fixed an NPE that caused fennec to crash on rotation (697183)
• fixed makefile problem where strings.xml wasn't getting rebuilt properly (697433)
• implemented the "forward" feature (695165), discovered a bug where gecko and java can get out of sync, fixed that too (697732)
• fixed awesome screen history results showing only page url (697803)
• added scroll indicators (695569)
• fixed race conditions in tab code (697987)
• had the about:crashes bug (694563) but kbrosnan closed that as wfm since he couldn't repro

This week:

• looking at find-on-page (695172)
• some residual issues left over from last week
  • scroll indicators need to be less opaque?
  • threading warning for nsAndroidHistory

Blockers:

• right now need to figure out what's the best UI for find-on-page. exploring how well overlays on top of the gecko surface work, as that will determine if we need to use a screen-width find bar or can get away with a partial-width bar

GCP

• Fix doorhanger bugs. Fight with Android Configuration change and trying keep Gecko in Sync. (Took the easy way out as we no longer restart anyway now)
• Popup blocker doorhangers if nothing more urgent comes up. Maybe need to do some UrlClassifier stuff.
• Nothing now, prolly again JS plumbing later on.
