- Investing the risk of freezing nsIProxiedProtocolHandler and nsIProxyInfo.
- Started a discussion about compiler application binary interfaces (ABI), compiler upgrading, and the incompatiblity caos that an upgrade may (will) cause. Sounds like a GCC upgrader is finally close enough to start really worrying.

A lot of fixes have gone into the calendar
(http://mozilla.org/projects/calendar) lately, here's a partial list:
- To Do Events. You can now add to do items to the calendar. They only
in the left hand side. You can double click on them to edit them, you
can't yet delete them.
- Minor front end bug fixes, including a close item under File, Import
/ Export moved to Tools to match other Mozilla applications, red text
for overdue to do events, strike through text for completed to do
events, and a fix for repeating events at the end of the month.
Work has also been going on to attach files to calendar events. The
front end for this is already done, using the same code as they have for
mail attachments. The backend code to encode and read in the files is
not yet done, so this isn't part of this build. But its coming soon.
Also, there should be some work done on integrating contacts into the
calendar very shortly. We should have something done by the end of the
summer.
