Features

  • In general I think it's too late to enable new features, we are too close to the release. What about enabling SVG, Calendar, MNG etc In 1.9? We should first try to learn how to do a release without the help of the Mozilla Foundation. I suppose that alone will be much work.

If we do so we could tell the SVG and Calendar maintainers about this plan so they can concentrate on making their components ready for the end user. --Krohlas 00:17, 14 Mar 2005 (PST)

Calendar

  • I personally do not think Calendar is ready to be turned on by default yet, I have it on in my builds, and trunk needs alot of [overall] work right now. The branch would be good, however the trunk calendar uses the new "storage" mechanics (Mozilla2:Unified_Storage) with no (as of yet) existing migrator; Justin Wood (Callek) 09:53, 11 Mar 2005 (PST)
  • Indeed. We shipped all the 1.7 and 1.8 builds on OS/2 including calendar, but for 1.8b1 we had to skip it, it was just unusable. If it improves significantly until beta 2 or beta 3, we can reconsider. (But now that we have drivers or "divers" it's not our decision any more.)--Peter Weilbacher (paepse) 09:46, 15 Mar 2005 (PST)

SVG

  • I feel building this is a good idea, however it is unclear to me if we would want to enable the pref to "turn it on" once built or if we would be best served leaving the pref off to make it easier for those who would want to view a page with an SVG plugin.

  • There is lots of space in the Prefs panel under Advanced. Just add another button for SVG.
  • well you did not sign this... But I feel that would be implicit in actually including SVG at all, but the question was if we enable or disable it by default? --Justin Wood (Callek) 15:42, 14 Mar 2005 (PST)
  • (Sorry, am neither used to wikis nor to IRC...) I didn't follow too closely the SVG development, but I think tor had a reason not to enable it by default, we should honor that. A button in prefs should be easy enough to find.--Pweilbacher 09:40, 15 Mar 2005 (PST)
