May 14
Submitted by Viswanath Ramachandran <vishy@netscape.com>

Highlights

  • Ben fixed 5 nsbeta1+ bookmarks bugs.
  • Matt fixed a case when sidebar search results would not show up.
  • Alec landed initial version of mozilla -preloader, not yet hooked up to build.
  • Chris helped chase down three blocker crash bugs.

Issues

  • Tree closed till late evening PST meant people could not check in code easily.
  • Alec's mozilla -preloader work will not be ready for nsbeta1.
  • Ben - unable to check in a fix for "bookmarks do not show in sidebar bug" because the file gives weird CVS warnings and won't let him commit. He'll talk to leaf on Monday and see if he can get rid of the conflicting file on the CVS server or something so he can check in his copy.
  • Paul investigated 76705, application level improvements to startup and feels that there is no low hanging fruit on the apps side to reduce the time to load our chrome on startup.

Project Management

  • Completed triage of hang, crash, topcrash, compat, perf, topperf, footprint, mlk, top100, dataloss bugs.
  • Need to add triage of mozilla0.9.2, mozilla0.9.1, mozilla0.9 keyword nominations.
  • Need to push untriaged nominations to zero and mozilla0.9.1 scheduled to real beta stopping list.


Format = this week (last week) Bugzilla Bugscape
Untriaged nominations 54 (41) 15 (6)

We have decided that if you do not leave us a $10 donation each time you park, we will begin scratching your paint. If you continue not to pay us, we will have you towed. Do not fool with us, we know where you live. -- The Attendants."
  • Bill Law
    • Highlights
      • Coded up implementation of "mozilla -server" to launch at Windows startup and open a hidden browser window.
      • Whittled down my mozilla0.9.1 list.
    • Other Activities
      • Looked at billions and billions of bugs related to the new helper app dialog. Seriously, there are probably 10 or 12, with a fair number of dups that had to be sorted through.
      • Coded fix for bug 79231 (and bug 79356).
      • Worked on fixing bug 68279 (security flaw in the way we open downloaded .exe files on Windows); I inherit all these by virtue of having last touched the UI that people see when the problem occurs, I guess :-).
      • Reviewed a patch or two.
  • Chris McAfee
    • Bugs:
      • chased blockers:
        • 79711 - linux crash on startup
      • fixed:
      • reviewed:
        • 73491 - patch for embed crash on startup
      • argued:
        • 80304 - fixed pref window size
    • Other stuff:
      • Sheriff Wednesday afternoon/evening
      • The usual tinderbox restart hacking
      • Disk drive showed up
      • Used recent builds pretty much all the time, number of crashes was up from last week. Filed a few of the blockers, including the patch-submit-doesn't-work (80424), how ironic is that.
    • Comments:
      • I spent several hours every day last week except Monday hunting down crashers, trying to open the tree, talking to sheriffs, etc. This was an amazingly unproductive time for me, and everyone else I think.
  • Joseph Elwell
    • Checked in fixes for bugs 3918.
  • Matt Fisher
    • Bug Fixes
      • 73238 Search results not displaying in sidebar
      • 76544 Basic sidebar search is non-functional
      • 3119 Incorrect default Internet Search in preferences
      • 4758 What's related tab needs to revert to super old 6.0 tab
      • 3856 Browser.search.defaulturl is overriding the otherSearchURL
    • Worked on Bugs
      • 4936 Attended meeting with really nice search people to talk about sherlock files. Need to track down new sherlocks files with Claudius.
      • 4589 Did inquisitive research on how to track people though the use of Sherlock files. Lookied in to extending sherlock to add new URL for different actions. Also talked to Netscape.com co-workers in order to understand better how they do tracking on server. Also did research on how to track users by using internet keywords.
    • Issues
      • Tree has been broken 4 days in a row and closed most of business hours.
      • If this continues into next week we will not hit Phil's date and still having a quality product.
      • Either the date needs to change, accept the quality will be lower, or we need to keep the tree open. Personally, i think it would be very usefully to get people who don't have nsbeta1+ bugs to help the sheriff's work on opening the tree then having them fix more bugs. We should assign deputies like the old 4.0 days.
  • Paul Chen
    • Bugs:
      • 76705 application-level improvements to startup - So I've been looking at this one for a while, and I've personally come to the conclusion that navigator is a very rich UI and there's not too much we can do to significantly speed up startup time aside from the unrealistic method of bringing up no chrome.
      • At the Thursday performance meeting, it was decided that we start from a minimal navigator.xul file and incrementally add features to see where the time goes. I was tasked with making this file, and I've got "fastnav.xul" and "fastnav.js" in my local tree. Once I check it in, people need to manually set a pref "browser.chromeURL" to "chrome://navigator/content/fastnav.xul" to get this "minimal" chrome.
      • At the moment, fastnav.xul implements the main toolbar and that's about it. I will post the files very soon to get r= and sr=.
    • Other:
      • Triage, triage, triage
      • Reviewed bugs for Anatoliy, Pinkerton, and Ben.
  • Samir Gehani
    • Highlights
      • Mac installer progress.
    • Accomplishments
      • Mac inter-installer session resume completed.
  • Steve Morse
    • Fixed and checked in:
      • 78262: Password manager won't delete certain passwords
      • 77525: Password manager saves empty forms
    • Fixed but awaiting review:
      • 53403: Dropping multiple bookmark folders into child folder deletes folder. This bug was recently fixed for the case of a single folder but it just got reopened for multiple folders (waiting for response from reviewer since 5-8)
      • 62730: Make form-manager data-collection conform to local customs. Finally got it reviewed after waiting two weeks, but now l10n is changing their mind about what they want.
  • Viswanath Ramachandran
    • Bug triage work
    • Search tracking meeting - helped scope out final pieces of work.

Submitted by Beth Epperson <beppe@netscape.com>

Summary

  • The editor team resolved 57 bugs last week!
  • There are currently 30 open moz0.9.1 bugs
  • Joe checked in the whitespace fixes -- go Joe!
  • from Daniel: I would like to nominate for the Friend of the Frogs (Paris office) award Nisheeth Ranjan for providing us with the video recording of the important all-hands meetings taking place in the Pit. This is very helpful information for Peter and I, not only far away from MV in distance but also in time shift. Thanks again, Nisheeth.
  • From Joe: Thanks to Kin for build testing and reviews of massive landing. Thanks to Kathy for finding some regressions for me in time for me to fix them. Thanks to Charlie for the cool table row/column deletion code, and to me for the cool html copy code, which together made it easy to make the buglist above.

Anthony

  • Triage bugs
  • Recheck in 59005 after it accidentally got nuked from he tree
  • Went to doctor on Thursday (been sick now for over a month). Doctor says it can take 6 weeks or more to recover from viral infection.
  • Made some more changes to my range patch, its not quite ready
  • Waiting to check in my comment patchs to nsISelection.idl and nsIDOMRange.idl, but patch.exe doesn't seem to patch the files correctly, patching by hand.

Beth

  • triaged incoming bugs
  • triaged m0z0.9.1 bug list
  • began reviewing future bug list, retesting, keywording and assigning
  • reviewed help docs for Robin
  • working on the reviews for this coming review cycle

Charley

  • Bugs fixed and checked in:
    • 74972 Spellcheck dialog layout fix (another 'cover' for underlying bug 74467: menulist doesn't size correctly if empty.) (Fix was supplied by neil@parkwaycc.co.uk)
    • Fixed regressions caused by stomping one of my checkins when new Modern theme (bug 78221) was checked in.
    • 78227 Cleanup Find and Replace dialog strings.
    • 77474 Append ".html" in Window's Save File Dialog when user doesn't supply the extension.
    • 70619 Fixed all occurrences where we close a dialog but didn't return right after.
    • 78351 Use "onload" handler on Image Dialog's preview image to get the natural size (preview image now displays, need to follow up to see if changing URL correctly supplies new natural size -- bug 76177).
    • 78406 Fixed order of keybindings in XUL, but real problem (79491) needs to fixed in XPFE.
  • Reviewed help docs with Robin Foster-Clark.
  • Talked to UI people about problems with new modern theme and other UI issues (e.g., how to fix color picker focus bug 64160; Joe Hewitt promises to help.)
  • Mostly finished "Convert to table" feature (bug 67337): Need to finish:
  • Find the table just insert to place caret in it and do "Normalize table" to fixup layout
  • Fix new problem I found today: We replace the "separator character" within the tags' attributes (i.e., between "<" and ">" since string we are manipulating is HTML output string)! This trashes any source that has attributes set. :-( Any regexp experts who can help would be appreciated!
  • Worked on table cellmap bug (74731 and others dupped to this) and made related improvements to nsTableEditor code.
  • Fixed Delete rows or columns bug (78400) Waiting for reviews to checkin.

Daniel

  • CSSization of Composer:
    • new UI elements now reflecting the real CSS state of the selection :
    • Strikethrough menu item
    • added code to the editor to retrieve and handle the parsed CSS declarations contained in a style attribute (special thanks to Johnny Stenback and all XPCDOM contributors ; what they checked in this week is a great help for the CSSization of Composer)
    • added new transaction for the assignment/modification/removal of a declaration in the style attribute
    • working on the "increase font" and "decrease font" buttons
    • working on style assignment to the selection
    • I expect to have a first working demo of existing UI elements in Composer generating CSS styles instead of HTML presentational hints by the end of next week.
  • Fixed and checked-in:
    • 78869 : Format > Align menu item in Composer not reflecting justification
    • 80000 : Advanced Dialog for CSS properties should rely on ElementCSSInlineStyle
  • Worked on:
    • 75872 : [CSS] bad matching in [attr |= value] selectors if value contains a dash (needs more discussion between CSS folks)
    • 79722 : nsDOMCSSDeclaration::GetCssText not implemented (fix in hand)
  • started to read focal review documents

  • Checked in fixes for 79157 (Win32 and Linux), 75305, 79177.
  • Triaged and did some preliminary debugging for various editor bugs, with an emphasis on crashers and dataloss bugs.

XPToolkit
May 15
Submitted by Peter Trudelle <trudelle@netscape.com>

Summary

  • After much hard work completing features over the last couple of weeks, the accessibility branch has now landed in the mozilla trunk, enabling basic MSAA support in Gecko. Let's all give a big 'thank you!' to Eric Vaughan, Aaron Leventhal, John Gaunt and Rod Spears for getting this done in time to land for 0.9.1. We are now finishing off some remaining details, and working with major AT vendors to ensure smooth interoperability with MSAA clients.
  • Mike Pinkerton landed drag&drop support for outliner widgets.

    • landed drag/drop for outliner
    • put up new fizzilla build
    • added a way from nsIScriptableRegion to get an nsIRegion to fix custom drag regions on mac. Needed for outliner drag drop. (bug 80196)

    We finally landed the new XP region code which will give us region support on par with other platforms. It should enable us to better support the new view manager. Thanks to Dainis Jonitis for this effort. Note that any platform can use this if their native region code is not up to par.

    We also have most issues resolved with the new image library.

    Our main issue right now is trying to get our PSM and NSS changes checked in. We are continuing to work with the crypto team on this. Once this is done, our nightly builds can contain security.

    We are also attempting to start putting nightly builds up consistently. This will always be the latest nightly. We will not be keeping archives right now.

    Bidi is now officially turned on in the build. We are working to resolve some regressions and miscellaneous issues that have come up. We are also working on getting the approvals to put the user interface in (new pref panel and menu).

    Note that the cross-platform Arabic shaping is not in the build yet. Arabic only works on platforms that support Bidi.
