Chris Kitching

  • Performance
    • bug 896822 - Make tab thumbnail generation significantly faster - landed this morning.
    • bug 897123 - Improves page load time, particularly where Flash is involved, by some amount most likely above 1/22. Most likely landing soon.
  • Preferences overhaul
    • bug 895423 - Icons in search providers list too small. Patch due today.
    • bug 892113 - Dialog for managing installed search providers - awaiting review, but ostensibly complete. (Yay!)
    • bug 892125 - Creating add-ons page in settings - work ongoing. Seems to require the addition of a new helper script in JS.
  • Other stuff
    • bug 768667 - ActionBar for text selection - still playing ping-pong with the reviewers.
    • bug 788114 - Reading list intent - latest attempt got rejected - needs rewriting with a new approach. (Avoid loading the whole app)
    • bug 888086 - Making byte2hex in sync utils very slightly faster - almost but not quite entirely failed to upstream this. Will get round to doing the next iteration shortly..
  • Next

After completing the next iteration of the patches that are dragging on for a long time, I'll be continuing with the preferences overhaul and performance improvement work. For performance, the most valuable next step seems to be attempting to get ProGuard working (Some progress in that regard - it builds now, but fails absolutely every unit test and crashes when you open the settings page. :P . It is, however, somewhat faster.)
