Re: [webkit-dev] Disallowing modal dialogs during unload events

I'm not sure I have ever seen a regular alert, prompt, confirm, or showModalDialog when leaving the page. This is part of why I'd like to see data. Would we be solving a real problem with this change, or just a theoretical one? In addition to the theoretical user benefit, I've been such a strong proponent of this change because it would greatly simplify some of Chromium's cross-process communication during tab/browser close. So, as long as it doesn't hurt existing, legitimate sites, I'd still like to see this happen. I'm happy with the resolution of trying this out in Chromium and getting some statistics about how often we hit this in the real world.

[webkit-dev] Dropping support for WML?
Greetings all, We have been discussing the possibility of dropping WML support in WebKit on IRC for a while now because 1. None of core ports (Mac, Windows, GTK, Qt, Chromium) use it by default 2. Maintenance cost is high I know Samsung is using the feature but they're not sure if they'll be supporting it in the future. Are there are other folks who are actively using WML? Best regards.

As far as I checked, much of changes in WML are due to changes in Core DOM and other parts of WebCore. See http://trac.webkit.org/log/trunk/Source/WebCore/wml But it seems it is not the case for WML yet. Also, I am unsure if None of the core ports use it by defautl is a strong argument here. Do you use WML? I'm simply interested in statistics not arguments for or against the idea of dropping the feature because we're most likely going to talk about this at the contributor's meeting. - Ryosuke ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
[webkit-dev] Why I won’t be reviewing patches as much the next two weeks

[webkit-dev] mac-ews and cr-mac-ews
Unfortunately the project's patch submission rate has grown such that the mac-ews and cr-mac-ews are currently over capacity. I'm working on ordering more hardware. But until then, it may take a while (hours instead of minutes) for patches to show green/red on the mac-ews and cr-mac-ews bubbles. As I mentioned previously, if anyone has spare hardware lying around, and wants to run their own EWS, it's as simple as: webkit-patch mac-ews from any checkout. It will prompt you to make sure your'e OK with throwing away all changes in that checkout. We have a nice wrapper script if you plan to leave it long running: ./Tools/EWSTools/start-queue.sh cr-mac-ews eseidel-mac2 (but if you're going to do that, you need to set up your paths in a specific way, which is slightly annoying.) I'll update webkit-dev when I've gotten the mac/cr-mac EWSes back under capacity. That may be a few weeks, sorry. -eric ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
