Major Topics for This Week

Release Planning
We have been keeping an eye on the blocking bug counts, stability and performance metrics. The current plan was to uplift all required code to Aurora (Fx13) and ship a Beta to the marketplace 4/16+baketime. The adjusted plan (proposed) is to wait for Fx14 to merge to Aurora and ship a Beta to the marketplace 4/24+baketime. The only date adjustment is 4/16 to 4/24. Given the longer than usual beta period, we are not expecting to adjust the final release date at this time.
Aurora Uplift
Pushed a non-graphics uplift to Aurora so we can get more testing on changes to the Java UI and Sync.
Video-based Performance Testing
William Lachance has been working on the EideTicker Dashboard and has checkerboarding tests for scrolling and zooming.

  • Last week
    • gathered test data to see which strategy works best when (velocity bias and fixed margins are the best, depending on which device)
    • bug 737553 - perform minor tuning/fixups needed for the strategies
    • bug 740569 - add a pref for the strategies
    • dived into the nsAppShell event queue to see where time is being spent/wasted, came up with some ways to reduce latency and/or coalesce events better:
    • bug 740539 - fix possibility of incorrect page size being stored in java
    • bug 730899 - remove scroll event with zero displacement
    • bug 737577 - trigger draw earlier during double-tap zooms to reduce checkerboarding
    • bug 740718 - (waiting review) null pointer dereference in the event coalescing code
    • bug 740883 - reduce latency between user flinging and us drawing
    • bug 741565 - (waiting review) kill latency in double-tap responsiveness
  • This week
    • bug 741228 - reduce time spent in Gesture:ShowPress. this seems to be a big cause of checkerboarding at the start of a pan/fling
    • once the latency problem is solved, tune the velocity bias strategy a little more and make it the default
    • work on bug 737510 (align display port to tiles) when BenWa/gbrown finish the tiling stuff
  • Other
    • will be visiting my sister in Dallas for part of next week; will be working remotely, maybe taking a day off to fly back

  • Last Week
    • bug 739418 - If a rethrown exception is uncaught, report the stack trace of the original exception, not the rethrowing exception

  • This Week
    • Backporting to XUL Fennec ESR10: bug 701002 - Put Java stacks into a separate field (not AppNotes) (and maybe bug 739418 - If a rethrown exception is uncaught, report the stack trace of the original exception, not the rethrowing exception)
    • Investigating bug 630576 - Fennec should send key events to content even without input focus (such as gmail keyboard shortcuts)
    • Waiting for review: bug 742036 - Convert DOM key codes to Android key codes when passing key events to Flash plugin
