[webkit-dev] What's up with the CHECK_CONSISTENCY macro?
Hello Webkittens, I'm trying to add some line boxes sanity checks and I've noticed there's a CHECK_CONSISTENCY macro guarding some consistency validation code (go figure!) but that's never defined in WebKit/Source. Anybody has an idea how that macro is used? Andrei. ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

GStreamer's license isn't a problem, but I'm not sure how legally safe the plugins are. That's right. If you need support for those problematic codecs there are some companies that can provide them. They certainly don't have an indemnification clause in their licenses. The dlls are still large compared to WebKit, and I've had trouble compiling them from source and debugging them on Windows. The distributed versions from freedesktop.org also use a version of libsoup that is too old to use as the network backend for WebKit. I'd also like to remove the requirement of installing GStreamer to build and run the unmodified WinCairo port to make it easier for people who don't know much about WebKit to build and run it. Those issues can likely be fixed. A lot of effort was invested in easing the build of GStreamer for windows and Mac OSX. There are still some bugs to iron out though. I'm not saying that GStreamer is out of the question in the future, but I think there are more reasons to switch than to stay right now. That's alright I understand your concerns.

You'd be surprised to know the actual number and variety of products that use GStreamer nowadays. and the ~100MB of GStreamer dlls which need to be installed in a certain directory. MediaFoundation is included since Windows Vista. Those dlls can certainly be reduced. I'm no Windows expert but there are ways to reduce the size of the gst shared libs in Linux (disabling debug is one). I'm pretty sure I'm the only one working on or using WinCairo video, but I hope to make the switch later this week unless someone wants to maintain GStreamer on Windows.

[webkit-dev] Enabling CSS Grid Layout runtime flag by default
Hi, As we discussed in the last WebKit Contributors Meeting, I think it would be useful to have the runtime feature enabled by default. We already have a compilation flag since r164659 [1], so enabling the runtime flag by default would make easier for developers to try out and test the new feature. Of course, in release builds the compilation flag is kept to false as expected. If everybody agrees, we have a patch ready to do this change: http://webkit.org/b/132189 FWIW, in WebKit nightly builds the runtime feature is set to true or false depending on the compilation flag since r166614 [2]. However, this is only affects the Mac port. -- Javi [1] http://webkit.org/b/129153 [2] http://webkit.org/b/130013 ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

It would be nice if you could email webkit-dev from time to time about your progress on completeness, testing, performance, etc. I like Zoltan's emails about CSS Shapes status, it is something we should do more in the project.

Anybody has an idea how that macro is used? The consistency checks in WebCore and WTF are for Debug code that is useful for debugging, but too slow to be enabled by default in debug builds. You just add #define FOOBAR_CONSISTENCY 1 when needed. From a quick check at CHECK_CONSISTENCY, it looks like they were disabled a long time ago (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14981). Maybe it is dead code now...? Cheers, Benjamin ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

It seems like the update script is not running for the aggregator for a while. Also, can we drop some subscriptions from its list, which are not active anymore?
