General 1.9.1
These are bugs that fall outside of components covered by the Gfx, Content, Layout and JS groups:
Mobile 1.9.1 Update
Security
Multi-Process
- bent working up initial linkage/hookup of Chromium IPC code
- Windows at first, with lots of hacks, e.g.
- enabling C++ exceptions in order to make the STL happy;
- disabling accessibility to work around structured exception handling difficulties when C++ exceptions are enabled;
- Always enabling libxul so that the static IPC library from chromium is available to all the right places
- Windows at first, with lots of hacks, e.g.
- cjones will be starting on a protocol layer to make IPC channels "safe" through static and dynamic type and call-safety guarantees
- We are not planning on taking the Chromium networking stack in the near future, due to concerns about compatibility (pipelining, etc)
Tree Management
- "Caution Flag". Found way to do firmware update on equallogic without closing tree.
- full functionality, but 76 VMs will be down, so expect wait times between 7pm PST tonight until 7am PST tomorrow
- defer risky/non-essential until tomorrow.
- careful sheriffing today and tomorrow.
Roundtable
- Blog funnel starting up: Evangelism/Firefox3.5/35Days - will ask for help/writing
