Thanks to Conrad for testing and providing instant reviewes for mac regression fixes.
Issues:
-
Root cause of activation bugs are yet to be determined. These bugs either
belong to activation serverside folks or the layout/event hadling depts in
CPD. Pursuing both parties to identify the cause and resolve the bugs.

Profile Manager:
- Tracking down activation problems.
CCK:
- Lots of bug work for CCK this week (again.)
- Need the installer and jar packaging stuff to settle down so we can finish this work.
Summary
-
The XPToolkit team resolved 42 bugs in the last week, fixing 15 of these. For details,
see our
resolved
bug list.
- We started planning for post-Seamonkey, generating a rough list of
the things we'd *like* to do. We'll be posting this ASAP, and refining it
as we get a better idea of requirements, specs, schedule. Your input is
welcome, and will be more helpful earlier than later.
- Had a phone meeting with some Mac embedding customers, to get their input on requirements for widgets.
- Still have 9 bugs on our rtm radar, need to reduce these to zero ASAP, by any means necessary.
Highlights
- Brian Ryner (bryner)
- hooked up unix makefiles for Vixen
- started trying to help embedding team with psm issues
- 54789Crash saving all attachments - GetFolder mode handled incorr
- 56570Cookie Manager crashes when cookie clicked with <Shift> key
- David Hyatt (hyatt)
- Bullet proofed several top crashers (in XBL and in the tree widget).
- Bug #56599 - Image cache not used when validate_always set. Patch
still being tweaked.
- Designed a scheme in conjunction with jband and brendan that will enable
XBL methods and properties to be transparently accessed from C++. Have
most of the code in place; just need to make some test cases now to try
out my new code and jband's new XPConnect code together.
- Updated the XBL spec further and worked on it some more.
Lowlights
Priorities
ALL:
- Fix RTM bugs, or help others fix 'em.
- Triage incoming bugs.
- Turn topcrashers into actionable bug reports.
- Test and verify branch bugfixes.
- Use the branch builds and report bugs.
- Planning for post-Seamonkey - requirements, tasks, swags, bug triage.
RTM
Bugs fixed
Bugs in progress (need to reduce these to zero by any means necessary):

XP yet (AIX and Solaris had problems)
- darin
- Fixed bugs 32335, 49168, 54081 (pending s/r)
- Got CVS access :-)
- Triaging bugs...

whentrying to use search"

set"
- Investigate Bugscape bug 2362 "Opening Security Advisor locks up
Mac"

Lowlights
- darin
- Not sure how to deal with localization hotspots in nsHTTPChannel.cpp
(bug 55738)
- Not sure of the cause of bug 52089 (crasher)
- Waiting for new machine
- gagan
- sick on Tuesday-- missed the "Managing Meetings" training. :-(
- gordon
- Mac Security bug requires optimized build that is difficult to build.
Several projects must be built by hand because they failwhen building under
automation.
- pnunn
- Load Attribute Issue: refer to bugs 56599 & 57015.
I need input as to how tobest handle tradeoffs for RTM
Plans
- neeti
- Work on bugs 52818, 55616
- gagan
- Close on all the bugs that have landed on the trunk but not on the
trunk (per PDT's plan)
- Continue triaging.
- pnunn
- Resolve Load Attribute Issue for both RTMand Long Term Solutions.
(Note, solution may be same for both.)
- Organize notes on Imglib future plans
- darin
- Push for getting 54081 rtm++
- Investigate bugs 52089 and 35956
- Follow up on bug 51631
- Help verify resolved/fixed bugs
- Plan for next generation Necko (synchronous HTTP, etc.
- gordon
- Investigate Bugscape bug 2362 "Opening Security Advisor locks up
Mac"
- Investigate Bugzilla bug 52534 "On the Mac, we are opening the cache
file as many as 4 times per url load"
- Investigate Bugzilla bug 35956 "File extension not changed but gzipped
files expanded when saving"
Issues/Escalations
Highlights
- Architecture group held a footprint/embedding strategy meeting. We
believe that there's going to need to be a shift in the Components &
Tools departments focus towards footprint and embedding issues. The embedding
group is planning on holding brown bags to discuss embedding goals.
Engineer Status
- jband
- Helped fix topcrash bugs 57070 and 57096.
- Checked in interim fix for xpconnect bug 56843.
- Added xpconnect support for hyatt's XBL enhancements: bug 57370.
- Worked on xpconnect requirements and plans for conversion of DOM to use xpconnect.
- Attended webapps meetings and did some related research.
- Looked into porting bloatblame/nsTraceMalloc to Win32 and ran screaming.
- kandrot
- Found 2 more O(n^2) algorithms in the code: nsFrameList::LastChild(),
since we always seem to append and this class contains no last pointer,
and nsLineBox::IndexOf is called to append (the class nsLineBox also walks
the list to find the item number of the last item, then walks the list
again to return a pointer to that item number as the last item numbered,
and other such fun).
- Researched how Purify accounts for vtable time in virtual function calls
(it is accumulated in the caller). There seems to be a 1.5x time
increase in calling overhead in making a method virtual, as well.
- Started looking at how waterson's memory tool works and how it could
be used to gather other memory data (high water mark, churn on each object,
etc).
- Footprint tactics meeting.
- dprice
- tweaked memory flusher for jar cache so it passes super review
- worked on reproducing top talkback crashers in XBL
- making a windows tree that doesn't have a res directory (3/4 completed)
- waterson
- Helped radha finish off patch to implement URL bar history
(bug 53922,
buf 57246).
PDT is evaluating for the RTM branch.
- Implement "clear global history" on the trunk. Pending review from bienvenu for the RTM branch
(bug 42001).
- Fix drag & drop problems with bookmarks on the trunk (PDT is evaluating for the RTM branch)
(bug 56349).
- Fix problem with intl buddy lists in AIM. pending super-review
(bug 2856).
- Did some work analyzing code bloat on Linux. See
news article,
bug 57470.
- Plans
- Several block-in-inline problems that need evaluation
- Continue code bloat analysis, esp. bug 57470
- Investigate topcrash data, esp. bug 56713
- At zarro boogs; available for working on regressions, crashers
- vidur
- Attended first XML Protocol Working Group teleconference. Signed up to clarify and wordsmith requirements for RPC conventions.
- Super-reviews and consulting on bugs for harishd, jst, heikki and pollmann.
- Held web applications meetings and started related investigation.
- More analysis on parser copying and additional changes. I really need to land these changes to the trunk soon!
- Attended embedding/footprint strategy meeting and weekly footprint status meeting.

Accomplishments of last week
- Harish Dhurvasula (harishd)
-
Checked in fix for 56501 on the branch.
-
Worked with rickg in fixing a rtm+ bug.
-
Triaged my bug list [ but my untargted bug list grew a bit over the weekend
:-( ]
-
Worked on a [rtm need info] bug ( 56563 ) which later became rtm-
- Heikki Toivonen (heikki)
-
Fixed 53763, crash when dialog dismissed and content was changed.
-
Fixed 54233, crash when quitting via keyboard.

Checked in patch from Tom Lendacky of IBM (toml@us.ibm.com), this fixed
55508 (DOMParser does not work without script environment) and 55599 (added
GetChannel method to nsIXMLHTTPRequest). The patch also included a test
program for XMLExtras component.
-
Reviewed fix to 56285, anchors not working in external HTML docs.
-
Made patch for 57437, anchors not working in external XML docs.
-
Marked 55414 fixed, the fix went in with 55413. Filtering some load events
that messed up search sidebar.

-
Bug triage, bug triage and bug triage
-
Fixed rtm++ bug 54121.
Fixed nsHTMLEmbedElement to unroot the JS object before setting the script
object to null to avoid referencing deleted memory later on in the JS GC.
sean@beatnik.com helped with testing and ironing out problems with my proposed
fix.
-
Spent one day in URL (un)escaping "hell" while fixing rtm++ bug 56529.
Necko is unescaping URL's if a segment (the query part, in this case) of
the URL is requested and that breaks backwards compatibility with 4.x since
location.search contains a different string in mozilla compared to 4.x
(and IE). The fix for this has not yet been checked in.
