Highlights
  • darin
    • Isolated performance slowdown (bug 66516) introduced by AsyncWrite changes.

    • Triaged bugs for 0.9
  • gordon
    • Checked in fix for bug 66508 for Mozilla 0.8
    • Resolved design issues with caching objects (ImgLib)
    • Moved off of cache branch/nsCacheService works alongside nsCacheManager (for now)
    • Updated cache IDL files to reflect changes from design reviews
    • Triaged 88 cache bugs for upcoming Exec Review
  • dougt
    • Getting close to landing Necko Channel changes branch.
    • Actively participating with Protozilla. Possible merge with the mozilla source base as an extension. This project allows extending and replacing protocols.
    • Landed Necko Channel Changes
  • pavlov
    • Resolved mozilla 0.8 bugs
    • new image library:
      • worked on new image drawing code to replace the temporary code currently being used for testing
      • added temp image cache. Got multiple simultaneous image loads of the same image only loading/decoding the image once.
      • worked a bit on the JPEG decoder.. still not quite working.
      • fixed various crashes, leaks, etc in the new code.
      • converted nsImageDocument to use new APIs (and not cause two image loads from the net)
      • fixed origin offset problem when drawing images with a border around them.
      • discussed new cache with Gordon and Darin. We have a plan. We will use the new cache design once the memory cache part works.
      • Chris Saari has GIFs decoding and drawing. He is working out the kinks in it and should have it in by monday.
  • gagan
    • prepared for the exec review for cache
    • checked in the last few changes of SchemeURI
Lowlights
  • neeti
    • Sick for two days.
  • dougt
    • Two days spent trying to get proper access to ftp.mozilla.org so that I could post bits for QA. I requested rights from IS.
    • Regressions caused by landing channel changes.
  • gagan
    • nsIURI::FILE is a conflict warning with file variable of nsFileURL. I hope to clean this up this coming week.
Issues
  • gagan
    • we need a better way to upload custom builds (like Dougt's channel changes) to a public/outside the wall FTP site.
