Done
- Wrote and checked in code to parameterize LDAP autocomplete
searchfilter via hidden pref (bug 77386); also improves
default searchfilter (bug 85315).
- Wrote code to speedup LDAP autocomplete by only asking for the
specific attributes bwe need (bug 74098). Still testing and cleaning up.
- Various reviews.
To do this week
- Finish my 0.9.2 bugs:
- 74098 - above mentioned speedup
- 81761 - override settings require restarting browser to take effect
- 82169 - Switching directory for autocomplete needs a restart
- Triage and dive into 0.9.3 bugs.
Highlights
- Bill landed his fixes for a slew of turbo mode bugs and Alec fixed
the mail 3 pane turbo mode bug too.
- Turbo mode work remaining = Multiple Profile Case (ccarlen) + Installer
& Prefs work (syd) + Tray Icon (bill has first cut, need someone to close)
+ Final decision on if it is default on (chofmann has some good reasons
why it shd NOT be on by default)
- Alec fixed the bug where items deleted from History did not disappear
immediately (and made it look like delete did not work)\
- Bill fixed the bug where hyperlinks in many windows applications when
clicked loaded Mozilla 2 times.
- Ben took over the Content Pack work and converted it to an extension,
pending reviews to be checked in.
- Steve fixed a serious regression in Session Cookies and made them work
again
- Steve added an enhancement to Password Manager API so that some issues
with multiple mail account support could be resoved.
- After many trials and tribulations getting to Mountain View, Blake
Ross started working on campus as of 06/12/01. Go Blake! Gave him some time
to settle in, but I'm pretty sure we've got some 0.9.3 work we can throw
his way. ;-)
- Matt made it so that Chrome items in the main toolbar and personal
toolbar, do _not_ disappear after you have viewed your preferences. This
used to happen sometimes, which was nearly a beta stopper.
- Matt fixed the bug where it reverted you to Netscape Search even when
you selected another search engine.
- Vishy and Jaime decided that for this release, the form manager panel
L12Y work could be limited to making panels hideable.

- Responded to lots of users who submitted PR1 feedback, and received
many kind/grateful responses. Having just one person responsible
for doing this full time around release would really boost our PR and user
satisfaction. I'm compiling a list of top xpapps complaints that I
think we should focus on for next release.

[nav+perf] to bugs
that directly impact xpapps or need fixing on the xpapps side. Going
to start digging into these next week.

Akkana
- Akkana is on sabbatical and is scheduled to return on 25 June

- triaged bugs
- have one 0.9.2 bug left (57913) but I cannot get middlemouse button
paste to work on windows which has made this bug difficult for me to work
on. I have ended up working on why middlemouse paste button DOESN'T
work on windows
Beth
- vacation Wednesday through Monday
- did triage the 9.2 bug list and unconfirmed bug list
- gathered additional data for focals
Charley
- 0.9.2 bugs fixed and checked in:
- 78351 Make Image Properties dialog preview image work and get natural
width and height information. This was a real bear! After lots of dependencies
and new bugs found with image cache and network code, I finally got a solution
that completely works. This bug is now only dependent on Pavlov checking in
his fix for 82431, and a null-pointer check problem (85981) I actually
fixed the later, but DougT claims that pointer (nsIURI::mScheme) should never
be null. He will follow up to make what they think is the "right fix." I suggested
at least putting in some assertion code.
- 71743, 71973, 71027, 73167. All of the new Advanced Properties Editor
code finished. Thanks to Kin and Kathy for their heroic efforts to test and
review this work.
- 85254, 77427. Minor UI fixes in Table dialogs.
- Did lots of talking with other engineers while in M.V. on Wednesday
to be sure issues in other groups received the proper attention. Primarily
for bugs 82431, 82563, and 84879. These need to be monitored to be sure they
are fixed in 0.9.2 timeframe.
- Last minute work on focal reviews
