submitted on 2001-10-08

Summary
  • gagan
    • http://status/bugs/ is back online. Please file bugs for it under any component you like :-P but make sure they are assigned to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    • darin and pavlov fixing away bugs.
    • dougt has been helping out with MAPI issues. Thanks Doug!
    • triaging continues for the group (lots of bugs targeted for 0.9.6)
    • untargeted bugs are still high-- we may need a group bug-triage session to weed them out.
Highlights
  • darin
    • fixed bug 94004 "Offline: redirects not cached"
    • fixed bug 102332 "9K leaks on tinderbox: cycle relating to HTTP handler"
    • landed initial framework for http/1.1 pipelining (bug 93504)
    • checked in "iDNS support" patch, bug 42898
    • triaged a bunch of bugs
    • worked on the mach-o OSX port
  • neeti
    • Worked on bug 96461, ComponentManager could PLHash or PLDHash. Have a patch ready, waiting for reviews.
    • Triaged bugs.
  • gordon
    • Bugs closed (WFM, INVALID, DUP) 91120, 91198, 95851, 96032, 103328
    • Triaged 0.9.5 and untargeted bugs.
  • dougt
    • Completed first swing at freezing the nsIServiceManager. Waiting of some inital reviews and then I will post a patch. The changes include redefining the interface in IDL, factoring out the helper classes and functionality into a seperate file, removing the nsIShutdown listener, and preserving the old functionality as nsIServiceManagerObsolete. Still some things to think about such as removing (Un)RegisterService*. Details will be posted to the newsgroup.
    • There wasn't a test case to enumberate the registered ClassID's, so I wrote a protocol handler that enumerates all of the components printing out information about each of them (about:components).
    • Spent most of Friday looking at component unloading. I have proof of concept that modifies the nsISupport and the factory macros to Lock and Unlock the objects' factories. The Modules can query on the status of the factory as a necessary condition of unloading. The one thing that I do not like about nsIFactory's is that in order for them be part of the unloading story, the need to stay resident in memory. Maybe it is a small price to pay?
