In the near future I'm planning to make a change so that WebRender will be built (but not enabled) by default in most Nightly/local builds [1]. This will allow anybody running a stock nightly to turn on The QuantumRender Experience™ by flipping a pref [2] and restarting the browser [3]. Because this change will build more rust code into libxul, compilation/linking time may be negatively impacted. Developers will still be able to explicitly disable building webrender by putting `ac_add_options --disable-webrender` in their mozconfig. Furthermore, explicitly putting `ac_add_options --enable-webrender` into your mozconfig will enable the pref for you by default, so that if you have been doing builds with this flag already and expecting QR to be on by default, it will continue to do so. Patches are in bug 1342450 and dependencies if you want to follow along. If you run into problems with this, please file a bug and cc me, or reply to this email. Cheers, kats [1] Not yet on Android, or OS X automation builds on Buildbot [2] The pref is gfx.webrender.enabled [3] There are more conditions in play than just the pref, see gfxPlatform::InitWebRenderConfig(). _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
