    • reviewed a bunch of patches

    • triaged bugs

    

  • neeti


  • gordon

      

    • reviewed miscellaneous patches

    • updated requirements and finalized design for data streams in cache block files

    • (w/Darin)

    • participated in meeting concerning cache/plugin issues (w/Darin, Patrick, others)

    • continued "priority" cache requirements/design discussions (w/Darin, Barrowman)

    

  • dougt

      

    • Landed nsIComponentRegistrar implementation.

    • Fixed XPCOM unregistration crash.

    • Found ~4% startup improvement (122523).  Data also suggests with this patch the data segment was reduced by ~10% or ~2MB.

    • Found double stat()'ing problem on windows and linux (122892)

    

  • pavlov

      

    • Checked in fix for bug 104999.  Tests by Cathleen show large drops in data size on Windows98 (should be the same or better on the rest of the Windows platforms)

    • Working with Brendan on bug 117061.  The patch he has fixes the problems on my machine and his, but we are getting reports that it doesn't fix the problems on other people's machines, so we are waiting on info from those people.

    • Bug 121673 contains a patch for idle timers.  The patch is almost ready to go, but needs a little bit more work on Linux and Mac.

    • Nivedita has a patch for bug 85595 (white backgrounds in transparent animated GIFs).  We are testing it and hope to have it ready soon.
