Friends of the Tree

Seth Spitzer wants us all to recognize the contributions of Dietrich Ayala and Edward Lee. Dietrich took over the global frecency patch (for url bar autocomplete), finished it, and landed it last week! Taking over an incomplete patch is neither fun nor easy. In addition to better quality of results, we now search bookmark titles (as well as the page titles), and we can find bookmark matches even if there are no visits to that bookmark in your history. And Edward Lee, for resuming his url bar autocomplete improvements (after being bit rotted by global frecency), and for addressing fall out issues from the global frecency landing.

Schrep highlights the big performance optimizations coming from Michael Moy and Alfred Kaiser: Bug 411379 - "Add SSE2 processing for JPEG color, use static instead of dynamic arrays" (SSE2 Intrinsics Support and Static Tables) and Bug 411718 – "Speed up JPEG decoding by 30% by skipping buffer"
