CCK

• Last week
• Worked on CCK installer nszip issue, working on adding feedback button on to wizard and not just the page.
• This week
• Focus on nszip on win95/win98 issue (must have for beta2)
  

Highlights:

• The team is focused on feature work for FCS (M16)

Thanks to L. David Baron who tracked down and fixed *6* memory leaks in editor and selection code
• Akkana resolved a triple-click selection bug (beta2 bug)
• Kathy wrapped up the wording issues for the prefs panel (beta2 bug)
• Charley resolved several table editing bugs
• Joe resolved several list item bugs, you should improved list item functionality
• Kin is on top of the several spell check problems and has resolved several issues already
• Mike is still working on revamping the infrastructure to provide an "ender lite" which will reduce the size of the app and resolve several fundamental editing issues.
• Simon also resolved some selection issues this week
• 25 editor bugs were resolved this past week
• 104 open M16 bugs, 42 of those are feature work bugs

Lowlights:

• Tree closures are hampering our ability to make timely checkins and testing
• There are 28 open P1 beta 2 bugs still open
• There are currently 128 open M16 bugs, triaging begins this week
• Bug 14768: disable animated gifs, will not be resolved in M16, dependency bug is set to M17

Priorities for M16:

• Kin:
• 6802: language selection interface for spellcheck
• 23682: wrapping for spellcheck
• Kathy:
• 23593: implement Composer prefs
• 6255: drag-n-drop
• tooltips
• Joe:
• 14753: list transformation (changing list type)
• 29843: nsHTMLEditRules::AfterEdit needs to ensure that the caret is always made visible again
• IME support
• Simon:
• 14662: implement context menus
• 24686: need to hook up copy in context menus
• 25161: disable form elements
• 34503: editor menu items should use command nodes
• 34504: editor controller for text widgets should not contain composer commands
• Get the command/controller stuff checked in, with fixes for mail and AIM. There is still much work to do to get all the commands implemented, and      updating at the correct time. Owners for each area will have to fix this themselves. I'll file bugs where necessary.
• Mike:
• 4302: pg up/down not consistent across platforms
• 6270: implement mouse event handling
• 15282: selection code should respect style context settings
• 22751: can't select table data
• 29785: up/down arrows not functional within tables
• Charley:
• 14342: Composer menu work
• 17502: Implement "Recent Files" submenu under "File"
• 19565: skinnable Composer
• 20973: implement missing table editing behavior
• 26286: hook up advanced edit dialog for all tags
• 26833: implement row/column selection
• 26871: implement default table cell width
• 28483: numbered list conversion to roman numerals starts new sublist
• 28498: implement show all tags editing mode
• 34519: implement property dialog
• Akkana:
• 16352: heuristics used for dbl-click are primitive
• 32807 triple-clicking doesn't select all of the line/paragraph

Accomplishments:

• Kin
• Tracked down cause of several crashes while using the spellchecker. Turns out that setting the value of TextFields that have not been clicked in via JavaScript can cause the TextFields Frame data to be out of sync with it's actual content.
• Wrote some JavaScript code that detects if a spellchecker is installed or not. If it isn't, it will remove the spellchecker button from the composer toolbar. This will prevent users from filing bugs against us when using the mozilla builds that contain no spellchecker.
• Started implementing spellchecker support for different languages. After speaking to some of the international guys, it was decided that the spellcheckers we support will have to describe their dictionaries in the terms specified by RFC 1766 which uses ISO 639 and ISO 3166.
• Helped triage and do some preliminary debugging of editor and message compose bugs.
• Started a Spellchecker test document that will keep in mind some of the edge conditions the Spellchecker and TextServices module should handle.
• Kathy
• fixed beta bug: 33293: Composer prefs wording
• fixed drag-n-drop into location bar problem
• update on drag and drop:  worked on dropping files into Composer, dragging content from browser
• Preferences:  added pref for Akkana; redid my work which was lost in a merge
• Tooltips:  checked in global overlay stuff so everyone will be able to do simple tooltips pretty easily
• checked in changes submitted for image map editor.
• helped triage team buglists
• Joe
• fixed beta bugs:
• 28456: removing bullets from a list deletes content
• 28716: multiple bullets on same line
• 32733: changing list style terminates list
• 26163: finalize typing rules
• 22331: block transformation
• implemented list spec - more on this under issues
• created nsIHTMLEditRules interface so I could add the following to the

rules api without cluttering the base nsIEditRules:
1. a method for getting the state for the list buttons
2. a method for getting the state for the indent buttons
3. a method for getting the state for the paragraph format popup
• RemoveAllStyles() now works on collapsed selections.
• Simon
• fixed beta bug: 32897: need a way to get user selected text in browser window from JS
• Lots more work on bugs 34503 and 34504, the command/controller bugs. This is almost ready to land, hopefully today.
• Implemented a Perl module for the Mac to allow xpintall people to make jar and xpi files using MacPerl.
• Managed some updates to the Mac build system, updating internal servers, the build instructions, sending out notification mails, and doing support
• Fixed a Mac timer bug 36134
• Various Mac project fixes
• Mike
• Made massive changes with scott to accomplish the great string landing of '00
• Helped anthonyd get acclimated to seamonkey by giving him some of my bugs.
• Worked with jst on the document.selection problem
• Ender Lite Progress:
• Made huge changes to the editor/layout to force people to use nsISelectionController to get the selection.
• Made big changes to remove SetDisplaySelection from nsIDocument. again adding it to nsISelecionController.
• Removed all references that were unnecessary to nsIPresShell from editor.
• Removed all unnecessary references to nsIDocument from the editor.
• Changed editor to add a nsISelectionController as a passed in parameter that it will use exclusively for manipulating the selection. the presshell will be used now simply for style information.
• Charley
• resolved several table editing bugs
• Finished the Page Properties dialog: 37029, 36681
• Caret location after Delete table row: 36937 Caret after tabbing to next cell: 28475
• Lots of UI changes for skins (19565). Main windows and all dialogs are skinable except for Image map editing windows and Advanced Edit dialog. Converted to new toolbar widgets and restored color picker on toolbar in Composer, Message Composer, and AIM windows.
• Work done but waiting to land until Simon checks in  new command work:
1. Table editing: Optimized "GetCellContext()" to get only data needed. Worked on "Join Cells" (unfortunately, a table layout bug blocks this from appearing to work correctly.)
2. Trying to get colorpicker working again and add "Color" editbox and "Last-picked color" UI. This doesn't work on the toolbar because of blocker bug.
3. Major dogfood fix: Finally figured out how to automatically set focus and display caret after loading a new or existing page!
• Akkana
• fixed beta bugs:
• 16311: trpl-click selection blocked
• fixed a keypress event problem, a paste issue and a text selection issue

Issues:

• Event handling is essentially unowned, and getting help in this area is hard. Someone needs to take active ownership of this issue. It's blocking development within Composer. We need to coordinate with layout team and get a primary contact for Event Handling.
• Possible candidate interview resulted in the person preferring to look more into embedding

People:

• Kin on vacation May 8

Lowlights

• we really need to get people to start thinking about documentation as well. I (gagan) am working on a plan that will help us wrap our API's for generating XML based docs from javadoc style comments. This is besides and over the high level doc that people are encouraged to write.
• M17 bug list is growing!
• (gagan) status writing is painful :| learning it the hard way... maybe we should have templates!

Highlights

• Gordon spent the week on vacation! and he's back!
• Warren, Jud are back from mini vacations too :)
• Jud wrote some excellent documentation on stream convertors. (Um... again :))

Accomplishments
 

Mike Pinkerton added support for dragging files into mozilla from the desktop.  Dragging into the content area will load the file as a page.  (pinkerton)

 

Daniel Matejka (danm):

33675 Added support for hooking up context menus for XUL text inputs.

31867 Added support for using a pref to determine which xul file to use when opening a new window.

Eric Vaughan (evaughan):

Worked out the basic the math for span.  Thanks to Waldemar and Beard for much help!

Fixed a nasty box bug that made dialogs with margins (which is almost all of them) layout wrong. So that should  make the XUL developers happy.

Stuart Parmenter (pavlov):

Got patches from some people this week:

    - toolbars not drawing right (bug 20496) from puetzk@iastate.edu
    - some unix File Picker fixes Dimi Shahbaz <dshahbaz@ucla.edu>

Fixed problem with clipboard pasting japanese text when it should be pasting ascii.

Sped up mailnews tree scrolling by about 20%.

Helped SCC with string changes on linux.

Fix excessive region creation bug #37352 on linux.

David Hyatt  (hyatt):

Got dynamic skin switching in.

Sped up menus by 30-40%.

The XPToolkit team resolved 48 bugs in the last week, fixing 23 of  these, including 4 new features and 3 PDT+.  For details, see our resolved bug list.

In Image Library, we added full 8 bit alpha channel support a week or so ago, thanks to Tim Rowley <tor@cs.brown.edu> and Simon Fraser <sfraser@netscape.com> and support from Pav <pavlov@netscape.com>.

In the event we run across a platform that really really can't handle 8bit alpha channel, we also have a nice 8bit to 1bit dithering algorithm from Glenn Randers-Pehrson <randeg@alum.rpi.edu>.

Currently the only image decoder component that generates 8 bit alpha channel mask is PNG, but 8 bit masks would be supported on any future components that generate 8 bit masks.

XML-RPC is in Mozilla!

I have checked into the Mozilla trunk an XPCOM XML-RPC client component written in JS. It'll allow any other Mozilla component or script to make XML-RPC calls, thus allowing ZopeStudio to become much more interactive.

The component is part of the default build and should be in the next batch of Mozilla nightlies.

Summary

• Package installation support is in chrome registry.
• Spans on grids much more difficult to implement than we can probably afford for this release.

Highlights
 

Chris Saari (saari)

Adding the ability for popups to not install the keyboard navigation listener. Needed for auto complete.

Fixed space bar scrolling page when in text fields.

 

Daniel Matejka (danm):

Helped hyatt and pavlov with windows and unix versions of the chrome package installation work.

Eric Vaughan (evaughan):

Got scrolling menus basically working, but not checked in yet.

Fixed visibility collapsed bugs.

Stuart Parmenter (pavlov):

Completed package installation work in the chrome registry with David Hyatt (34399 ).

Fixed misc. bugs other bugs such as file picker not working in mailnews on linux (37121), and some work on getting image tiling working.

Reduced the amount of memory allocated by the charset menu by 600k!

David Hyatt  (hyatt):

Worked with danm on chrome registry.

Worked with pavlov on package installation.

Worked with evaughan on menus.

Worked with waterson on the XBL leak.

The XPToolkit team resolved 51 bugs in the last week, fixing 21 of  these, including 4 new features and 4 PDT+.  For details, see our resolved bug list.

 

 

Lowlights

• Spans on grids have  turned out to be mathematically difficult. Despite long, hard work from EVaughan, and valuable assistance from Waldemar and two physicists, we have been unable to come up with an algorithm for the difficult cases.  See the issues section below.
• We failed to update our remaining few feature bugs for current estimated durations and target landing dates.  Will update 5/8.

Priorities
 

pinkerton:

Finish 37410: create internet shortcut on win32 when dragging link to desktop.

Fix regressions in popups caused by tooltips being turned on.

saari:

 35100 can't type after using <popup>, e.g.,  the color picker
 33735 [Mac] Keyboard shortcuts broken when  no browser windows open

 36470 On a multiple monitor Mac, all window colors are VERY wrong.

hyatt:

24767 [feature] make chrome registry point into jar by default.

Keep helping people.

evaughan:

35393 Implement spans in grids or agree with UI developers to work around them for this release

11586  XP Menus need to be scrollable.

pavlov:

Work with hyatt on package uninstallation

( 36414 )

danm:

Help hyatt and pavlov finish Mac version of chrome package installation.

 35921 event notification outlives its event

Issues

Spans on grids turned out to be mathematically difficult (see Lowlights).  EVaughan will  discuss the need for them with application UI  developers to reevaluate their importance in skinnability.  If possible, we will come up with a workaround that will allow us to postpone them until a future release.

People

The team interviewed two outstanding candidates this week, and we are trying to hire them both.  I'm not going to mention their names here yet, because this report gets posted publicly and I don't want anyone to steal them! Details will follow  when they have accepted offers...

Accomplishments:

• Kin
• spent quite a bit of time this week helping fix daily build/runtime block= er problems.
• did small code review for buster.
• tried to help brade test out some of her makefile changes on linux.
• spent some time talking to external contributors over IRC trying to help them out with various editor related problems they were having.
• finally got language/dictionary support implemented and checked in. If anyone wants to try out the different languages, they will have to manual= ly copy the ns/modules/spellchk/data/*.dat files into their bin/components/s= pellchecker directory.
• triaged and did some preliminary debugging on various bugs.
• Kathy
• checked in a first pass on tooltips; expect to get an actual spec from Simone in the next day or two
• picked up some additional bugs from Simon and Charley; haven't investigat= ed them yet
• worked on bug #34416 to be able to pass it off to the next person; patch seems to be giving me some problems.  :-(
• checked in some changes for image map editor submitted by Brian King.&nbs= p; People should start looking at the image map editor and file bugs as appr= opriate.
• hopefully made the last few changes to editor preferences for a while.
• Joe
• polished the list spec implementation
• fixed a few bugs, emphasis on mail usability:
• undo could add extra breaks
• style feedback was wrong after you typed a return
• repeatedly deleting all text in the plaintext editor would leave behind empty textnodes (37845)
• typing after a mailquote would end up in the quote (30763)
• typing return in a mailquote now gives the correct amount of whitespace, puts the caret in the right place; and lets you type in the right place
• pasted text incorrectly picked up style from adjacent text (19361)
• deleting inside table cell could put caret in preceding cell (29320)
=
• got feedback on tab-in-list behavior; and how sublisting works
• Simon
• checked in the editor and composer command handling work (bugs 34503, 345= 04), separated the editor and composer controllers, made a way to implement commands in JavaScript, and implemented commands for much composer functi= onality. Fixed the few fallout bugs.
• changed the Find API to replace nsIWebShell with nsIDOMWindow, for better= scriptability.
• made Find beep when the search term was not found.
• fixed Find and Find Again in msg compose
• fixed 29594 -- implemented nsUserInfo on Mac, using the Internet Config API
• fixed 37318 -- a tricky problem with library linkage that broke us on Mac= OS 8.5.
• worked with kin to fix tree blocker 37898 -- editor not loading pages cor= rectly
• fixed 37303 -- fix selection API on text widgets, and make them understan= d "-1" to mean "the end"
• fixed 36112 -- check for QuickTime before calling it.
• helped Ben with some widget CSS issues, tweaked perls scripts that drive MacCVS
• implemented Perl function to install skin files from mozilla/themes, as part of the skin switching effort.
• helped an external developer get XML-RPC building on Mac.
• Mike
• resolved URL selection issues
• worked on the ender lite code
• sheriff on Thursday
• Charley
• images for "All Tags" edit mode, including "_moz-userdefined" icon and CSS to use them (bugs 35646, 22262 )
• fixed Spell Check dialog layout and lots of tweaks with other dialogs (pa= rt of skinability work 19565).
• remaining XUL conversion/skins work is for Image Map dialogs (Kathy?) and= Advanced Edit dialog.
• HTML Source editor (bug 14526 )
• menu work for "Revert to Last Saved" (36998) and "Recent Pages" (17502 ). Implementation of submenu transferred to Kathy.
• checking in:
• Advanced Properties (aka "Advanced Edit") dialog hooked up to right mouse= and double clicking. (26286, 34519)
• Code work for "All Tags" edit mode finished (28498)
• Dialog to let user pick version after editing in external editor (37089)<= /li>
• Composer menu work (14342)
• Bonus feature: Added images for Edit Mode buttons in toolbar at bottom of content window with a button to switch between "Text" buttons and "Ima= ge" buttons.
• Akkana
• sheriffed parts of Wednesday and Thursday
• triaged bugs
• filed bugs
• helped people test bugs and verify tree blocker fixes
• went to meetings
• actually checked in a few lines of code:
• 37560 (convert platform to dom newlines in InsertHTML)
• 38194 (screen out br type=3D_moz in the plaintext output sink)
• Fixed some warnings that I was tired of seeing
• Stared at word/line/paragraph selection code, got hints from Mike, tried several options, found several pitfalls and approaches that didn't work, have some ideas about what might work.

Issues:

• CVS is still very slow
• tree bustage was rampant this week, kept folks from doing checkins
• It seems counterproductive to have team members so focused on triaging the M16 list instead of resolving the more critical feature work. Couldn'= t the triage be accomplished after the tree is closed? It seems to me, that= the more critical issue is to ensure that features, blockers and dogfood bugs are marked appropriately and worry about the other bugs in the list until after the tree is closed. Team members have probably lost a day of work because of this task.

People:

Summary

• XPToolkit team has all but wrapped up PR2 feature work, has been fixing lots of bugs. We are available to fix blockers & help with other team's features.

Highlights
 

Mike Pinkerton fixed tons of bugs involving tooltips and xpPopups, including the nastier ones such as menus not ever going away. (pinkerton)

 

Chris Saari Added support for hiding menus in a top level menubar (38619), and fixed many  other bugs. (saari)

 

Daniel Matejka (danm):

Has been whacking the chrome registry pretty hard, restructuring the directories, and dealing with the repercussions.

Eric Vaughan (evaughan):

Had to completely rework menus so they could scroll and  completely removed style resolution from the picture

Got scrolling menus working on linux .

Stuart Parmenter (pavlov):

Fixed problems with events getting fired while X async

clipboard code was waiting for a response (38723, 35711).

Finished feature work for linux filepicker filtering by extensions (9671).

Helped Brian Ryner (bryner) with unix image tiling code... major speed improvement for pages with small background images.

David Hyatt  (hyatt):

Helped Eric with scrolling menus. Have breakdown for the

remaining work to make them scroll without scrollbars.

Worked with Mike Judge on Ender lite, helping him debug reflow &  anonymous content, and get it up and running.

Worked with Jean-Francois debugging the auto-complete widget.

Fixed a bug in XBL event handlers.

Worked with Brendan and Waterson to fix a JS GC problem in  XBL.

Made XBL work with  HTML and XML.

Worked with Simon to use XBL to alter form elements in

Composer.

Working with Dan on chrome directory restructuring.

Added blankrow capability to trees.

The XPToolkit team resolved 96 bugs in the last week, fixing 43 of  these, including 2 new features and 4 PDT+.  For details, see our resolved bug list.

Lowlights

• It looks like we will have to postpone being able to drag files to the Win32 desktop, since we haven't been able to figure out how to do it without using MFC.  If any wizard out there knows how to perform this particular miracle, we'd sure love to hear about it.

Priorities
 

pinkerton:

Helping ducarroz with his "blockers" for the autocomplete widget.

saari:

Help on features where needed.

24525, 33735, 35553, 36470, 37277 and maybe 35087.

hyatt:

Finish chrome directory restructuring & troubleshoot bugs in

chrome reg.

Continue helping to troubleshoot problems anyone is having with XBL.

Keep helping people.

evaughan:

Test scrolling menus on Mac OS & check them in.

pavlov:

Work with hyatt on package uninstallation

( 36414 )

danm:

Help hyatt and pavlov finish Mac version of chrome package installation.

 35921 event notification outlives its event

Issues
 

Our current cut at scrollable menus requires scrollbars, even in cascading menus, so it is not good enough  for final ship.  We think it will do for PR2 though, so we're proposing to delay the work required for auto-scrolling after PR2, since it will take 5-7 days.

People

Gary Frattarola and Dan Rosen have accepted our offers and will join the team 5/30 and 7/24, respectively!

Brian Ryner starts his internship here 5/22!

We are all *very* excited to be growing such a kick-ass team.
