Highlights

• Daily triage meetings scheduled
• Weekly issues/design meeting set up. thanks Alec!
• Criteria for next release Navigator bugs are
  • Finish existing features - polish, correctness & usability
  • Performance & stability issues
  • Make it a compelling replacement for IE and Communicator.

Plans

• Set up next release Navigator offsite kickoff.
• Make progress on triaging bugs.

Issues

• Need to identify top areas to focus on completing for next release NS.

People Stuff

• Radha will be joining Judson's embedding team from Jan 2. She'll continue to own Session History. Best wishes!

Individual Reports

• Paul Chen
  • bugzilla 5721 -- Need more Mac Internet Config support. After poking around libpref and looking at profile prefs for a while, I think there's going to be a lot of code written just to override a few prefs. I was thinking about subclassing nsPref, but I think that's the wrong approach now.
  • bugzilla 49758 -- Need to get protocol handlers from Internet Config. Didn't spend much time looking at this last week. I believe this would be easier to tackle than 5721. In theory, just add protocal handlers to necko that pass URL to Mac Internet Config LaunchURL() function.
  • Round up Mac weenies to see what we would like to get done in the next release. Do this now rather than have to meet with jar after beta.
  • Triage, triage, triage.
• Ben Goodger
• Matt Fisher
• Alec Flett
  • took complete ownership of Global History
  • Refactored large parts of Global History, reducing bloat and implemeting major features (61140, 56867, 19370, 33697)
  • finished NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS work, now getting reviewers to check in (45797)
  • a bunch of super-reviews
  • finished up a generic XPCOM-based method for calling JS_PushArgs/JS_PopArgs so that other mozilla clients don't have to link against libmozjs
  • in process of switching over to a new hard drive on my laptop, means reinstalling everything
  • helped Paul Hangas's group - interviewed UE candidate
• Bill Law
• Radha Kulkarni
  • Working on few UB History bugs; Had a good time at CPD offsite; Plans:Wrap up some of the UB history
• Chris McAfee
• Vishy Ramachandran
  • getting prepared for triage, learning about nav and sidebar products.

1. Ongoing memory tracking (curt).
   • Starting to make headway with gtkEmbed from `full' mozilla install, but still seeing a lot of crashes with gtkEmbed from the `embed' package.
   • Will do focused A-B testing and start to file bugs as reproducable problems appear.
   (Not really related to memory, but...) kandrot to own `gtkEmbed' harness, discuss with adamlock & blizzard what work needs to be done to bring it into line with `official' embedding APIs, add `back', `forward', status bar, etc.
2. Code coverage.
   • dprice rebuilt optimized and re-profiled; he and scc identified several potential classes that could be removed wholesale from the DLL. dprice, scc, and kandrot to pursue this.
   • waterson and dprice to prioritize investigation of other DLLs.
3. Style system.
   • waterson to bug pierre et. al. for update.
4. Trace-malloc porting.
   • mjudge in the throes of it; ends up being a bit more work than anticipated.
5. Allocation analysis.
   • Trace-malloc data from last week was tainted due to incorrect realloc() accounting.
   • New data shows that imagelib is `off the hook', but session history is still a problem.
   • Unfortunately, new data only accounts for 20-25% of the growth.
     • kandrot to investigate tracking sbrk() and mmap() calls.
     • thesteve to analyze new trace-malloc data for fragmentation.
     • waterson to dig in to what data we have and start to involve module owners, etc.
6. Compilers.
   • thesteve presented detailed data comparing egcs-1.1.2 and gcc-2.95.2: bottom line, gcc-2.95.2 generates smaller DLLs by about 5%, so we're gonna upgrade.
   • cls to report on status of -O[1,2,3]: which generates smallest code? which generates code that works?
   • chofmann to bug waldemar about commercial compilers.
   • pavlov to bug gcc friends about new x86 codegen.
7. Parser.
   • harishd working on removing parser nodes.
   • vidur checked in `sliding string' stuff to reduce number of copies made in parser.
8. Leaks.
   • thesteve to begin using `--enable-boehm' build to track down leaks, evolving visualization tools as necessary to make life easier for the rest of us.

Highlights

• Weekly issues meeting started, thrashed out bookmarks stuff this week.
• Draft PRD distributed, comments coming in.

• Need to identify ownership of some items on Printing PRD.

People Stuff

• Welcome to Steve Morse and Samir Gehani to the Nav+ group.

Individual Reports

• Alec Flett
  • First Issues meeting seemed to be successful - we heard from everybody about (Netscape) directions for next release bookmarks. Hope to open up the meetings to mozilla.org in the first week or two of 2001
    
  • Continued Global History work, lots more code cleanup - implementing new features while removing lots of bloat.
    
  • super reviews
    
  • pre-triaged my own bugs in preparation for triage meetings
    
  • helped triage of bookmarks and some of history
    
• Radha Kulkarni
  • Highlights:
    • checked in 54492.
      
    • Got patch for 49913 reviewed. Yet to checkin.
      
    • Have fixes in hand for 3 urlbar history bugs.
      
    • Fix in hand for 59755. Awaiting reviews
  • Other activities:
    • Bug triage.
  • Plans:
    • Wrap up urlbar history work.
• Ben Goodger
  • Worked on D&D utility library. Made the data objects that clients supply have more meaningful names, started to think about support for dragging multiple items so that the bookmarks D&D code can be converted to use it.
    
  • Played with Visual Studio 7, C# and the .NET framework SDK. Helped hyatt build Mozilla on his notebook with VC7 (xpidl crashes randomly, but frequently, had to resort to building a large number of idl files by hand). .NET framework is expansive and well stocked.
    
  • Went through about 100 of my bugs, nominating some for nsbeta1.
    
  • Had some fun with the next release codename voting page:
    http://www.silverstone.net.nz/mozilla/foo.xml
    
  • Installed Alice, still waiting for No One Lives Forever to arrive.
    
  • Lowlights: VS7 didn't really want to work properly on my notebook, files wouldn't load in form designer properly, received multiple LAME error messages, ended up uninstalling. I'll have to be content with my C# syntax highlighting module for VC6 and csc.

  • http://puma/status/2000/1215.html
• Paul Chen
  • Triage, triage, triage: After a, ahem, slow start Monday morning, the triage meetings have been going well. By my count, we've triaged a total of 256 bugs this week, and I have about 70 marked nsbeta1+. I don't have the status a few bugs, like ten or so, because I was out of the room at the time. Extrapolating this out to 1300 bugs, we're looking at nsbeta1+-ing about 350 bugs at our current rate. (Though it's going to take five more weeks to triage our bugs using our current method)
    
  • Build fun, not: For some reason, been seeing funny things with this week's builds. Why Vidur wasn't carpooled, I have no clue. Yesterday had very funky chrome issues with Classic skin on my Mozilla Mac build. Ditched my tree and start fresh
    
  • Worried about cool features in the next release: Although speed and stability are all fine and noble goals, I do not belive that just improving stuff like bookmarks and history is going to get enough people to want to use the next release. We need to think up at least a few cool neat features for the next release. Dredging up Aurora from the depths of the ocean sounds like a start, though I don't know how much we can get done in the next release. I think some form of location independence would be very cool also.
    
• Bill Law

Accomplishments:

• Don Cone
  • Checked in:
    • 46871 = CSS PNG alpha does not work
    • 55093 = Printing can fail on 32 bit
  • Worked on:
    • Working on the Frameset printing problem. It seems that when we printwe are re-loading the document for the frames which is real bad.. it cancause crashing. Also a new window tries to be created for each frame..also bad. I have to find a way to use the documents already loadedfor these frames.. then we can just reflow these documents into the presentationshells and it should work without crashing. The trick here... findingthe already loaded documents for the frames of the FrameSet.

Summary

• The XPToolkit team resolved 27 bugs in the last week, fixing 13 of these. For details, see our resolved bug list.
• Further refined the XPToolkit development plan , should be able to make nearly all of it available publicly by turning individual tasks into Bugzilla bug reports over the next week or so.
• Worked with Aaron Leventhal to investigate accessibility options for Gecko/XUL, including exposing the DOM out of process, and/or implementing third-party APIs such as MSAA and SAPI. Also met with Peter Korn and Jeff Dunn of SUN to try to find common ground with their accessibility efforts. Still need hard requirements from marketing, and engineering owners in development to nail this down. We could also really use help from anyone who is interested in creating a cross-platform, standards-based accessibility API. Aaron has also published his own progress report.

  • I seem to remember spending a lot of time reviewing patches, helping hunt down bugs and the like. So the app must be healthier now in some unverifiable way.
    
  • Made what I believe is a useful description of memory bloat from using XUL, useful to the embedding effort for determining its cost.
    
  • Checked in a fix for that most-voted bug 32148; persist window zoom state. Though on the morning after, it doesn't work quite as well as it did before I checked it in.

  • Worked on several selection, range, and output bugs.
• Charley
  • Bug triage and fixing -- lots of them! Decided which bugs to fix for mozilla0.8/0.9 (next release NS).
  • Primary bug I worked on is helping Joe with copy/paste work for tables. I wrote stuff to sort the ranges in a selection at the time of copying multiple table cells, but that strategy won't work. Instead, I added code to be sure ranges are inserted in proper order (according to document order) when the selection is made. Kin has reviewed this and I will checkin asap.
