Dan Brickley
has been a superstar at whacking our RDF document tree into order.
XUL "template" documentation is online here.
An updated RDF "back end architecture document" has made it
to online.
Several amazingly useful RDF/XUL test cases have flowed in over
the past two or three weeks from dbaron@fas.harvard.edu
and smorrison@gte.com Wow!
Somebody _is_ actually using this stuff!
Not much to note. Kipp is reducing the amount of stack space
that the block/inline code uses. I'm working on optimizing table
incremental reflow
Mike McCabe has our XPConnect update:
"XPConnect - I recently checked in changes to the xpidl
compiler to verify the scriptability of methods within interfaces
marked [scriptable]. This should provide one more assurance to
people adding scriptability to their XPCOM interfaces. See my post
to .xpcom for details. Also drop in
to .xpcom for several lively debates."
Mike McCabe has our Javascript update:
""Howard" Xuhua Lin
has been helping out with tests and patches for the Rhino ImporterTopLevel
class that provides a convenient shorthand for using Java classes
from JavaScript. Roger Lawrence
has been working on changes to Solaris xptcall
to support the 5.0 Sun Workshop. Roger has also been fixing bugs
in the regular expression support for the Rhino (Java) and Spider
Monkey (C) JavaScript engines."
