Project Updates

Australis

• Lessened the WinXP tpaint regression by about 2.5ms, which puts us still around an 11% regression. mconley was able to see a great improvement when switching from a for-of loop to a vanilla for loop.
• Additionally, there's a nice win coming for Windows from the work mstange, MattN and Gijs have been doing in bug 894099
• Bookmarks widget functionality patch complete, pending r=mconley, working on styling

Downloads API

Work on the assigned bugs is continuing.

• Felipe posted first patch iteration on bug 852482 - Add methods to execute actions on completed downloads.

Thumbnailing

SessionStore

• Close to landing Promise.jsm patches.
• Working on a prototype and discussing e10s approaches.
• Session Data Cache for tabs should land soon.
• Working on moving more I/O logic to the worker.

Places API asyncification

• Some good progress on the new transactions API (Bug 891303). Pending initial review now.
• Now working on switching the transactions to use GUIDs so that we don't need to break the API once again later.
• Bug 894331 and Bug 890203 are major blockers for landing this feature, and in fact, for most further work on asyncifiying places client code.
• Raymond figured the random orange in bug 818593 - Add file size to bookmarks restore UI, pending review mak
