Igor Nekrestyanov has implemented support for DOM Events based
on the current DOM Level 2 working draft.
Highlights

improvements help a lot
- Newsgroup names in folder list are abbreviated nicely (e.g.
n.p.m.mail-news)
- 57
bugs fixed!
- UI decision meeting covered behavior of attachments menu
in message display pane, strategies to save space in folder pane
but still show unread message counts.

Issues
- Public enemy #1 is bug
16709 which is causing the compose window to lose recipients
- 68
bugs marked for M11 (which is Tuesday, so this is too many)
- Next week, we need to work on the UI for biff notifications
since the Alerts panel is cut. We also need to get better about
posting the results of mail/news UI meetings.
- Need to look closely at memory usage (besides leaks). Our
memory footprint is 4-5x larger than 4.7
Tinderbox is reporting leak status now, it runs a small test
and keeps track of stuff allocated and leaks. (me, warren, slamm)
Highlights
- David Hyatt and Chris Waterson have been making great strides
on Brutal Sharing, with several huge performance wins.
It seems like every few minutes they are shaving another 100
ms off of the time it takes to load second and subsequent windows,
and have even reduced the loading time for the first window,
an unexpected bonus! (hyatt, waterson)
- Mike Pinkerton hosted a Mozilla developer chat on MozillaZine
today, focussing on Mac issues.
Lowlights
Accomplishments
- The XPToolkit team resolved 23 bugs in the last week, fixing
15 of them. See our resolved
bug list for details. (all)
- Daniel Matejka helped John Marshall get a Mozilla app usable
for an upcoming demo. (danm)
- Eric Vaughan fixed visibility tab control bugs as well as
making a style so people can see the selected tab. (evaughan)
- Mike Pinkerton resurrected drag & drop on toolbars, and
made it so you can drag items from personal toolbar in 5.0 into
4.0 and they will be loaded. (pinkerton)
- Chris Saari made good progress on Focus, resolving the last
remaining issue of getting a blur event to fire when you click
outside the app. This exposed a bunch of other bugs though,
so he'll have to retest on the three major platforms before landing
all of these changes early next week. (saari)
- Chris also checked in the fix to make Mac popups not steal
activation. (saari)
- Chris also Helped everyone come to a consensus on the Way
and the Light of the key event spec. (saari)
- David Hyatt, assisted by Stuart Parmenter, rearchitected
the chrome registry to use fragments instead of loading a big
table, a performance win. (hyatt, pavlov)
- Dave and Pav also taught the chrome registry how to handle
dynamic overlays. (hyatt, pavlov)
- Dave also worked with Chris Waterson to implement a global
style sheet cache. (hyatt, waterson)
- Dave also worked with Paul Hangas and German Bauer on CSS
and XUL structure for the new UI. (hyatt, hangas, german)

Priorities

(all)

- Keep hammering away on Brutal Sharing with Waterson as long
as they see wins to be had. (hyatt)
- Keep working with Hangas on the XUL and CSS for the UI. (hyatt)
Decisions
Issues
- What with all of the notifications for the forest of dependency
bugs, Bugzilla is now accounting for about 90% of all the SPAM
some of us get. We have already proposed limiting these
notifications, and have asked Jar to help reduce them, but if
anyone can help with this we'd be much obliged. Thank ya
kindly.
- As you can see by the list of accomplishments above, Dave
Hyatt found plenty of collaborators this week. Heartfelt thanks
to all involved, you are really saving our butts, as well as
Dave's hands, which btw are finally starting to feel a little
better!
