  • The profiler add-on can now toggle the Jank/Stackwalking feature.
  • Vlad integrated Benoit’s SPS extension with the Symbolication Server.
  • Vlad wrote a blog post about setting up a local symbolication server.
  • Peptest results from try, mozilla-inbound, and mozilla-central are now being reported to http://mrcote.info/peptest/.
  • Mark added Peptest documentation to MDN.

GFX

  • Technical Review of Checkboarding on Mobile tomorrow (Wed) at noon PDT
    • Contact jprmc or jrmuizel

JS

  • Jeff Walden's begun landing code implementing a new way to represent objects, specifically their properties. There's a metabug, with work being hung off that in dependencies.
  • Luke Wagner is working on scope chain/variables/arguments/environment code refactoring.
  • Ionmonkey proceeds apace, current goal/plan is to land by mid-June.

Layout

Video

  • cpearce landed FileBlockCache, which provides a temporary file you can do blocking reads from on any (non-main) thread, write to on the main thread with buffering so that the main thread doesn't block, and move blocks around on the main thread (with buffering and a helper thread so the main thread doesn't block). We're using this to avoid main-thread I/O from the media cache. May be useful elsewhere.
  • cpearce working on enableFullScreenWithKeys and has a proposal in the bug.
  • cool WebRTC demos performed at IETF Paris (jesup)
  • core MediaStreams infrastructure patches under review (roc)
  • Intern Paul Adenot started yesterday, working on implementing the playbackRate attribute for audio/video elements

DOM

  • Finished and landed codegen infrastructure for new DOM bindings (bug 740069) that don't use XPConnect, and give XMLHttpRequest (main thread and workers) new bindings using the new binding mechanism (peterv, bz, khuey, bholley, bent, Ms2ger, jlebar).
  • Landed support for MutationObserver (bug 641821), a replacement for DOM mutation events (smaug, sicking).

WebAPI

  • WebAPI Q2 goals here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2012-Q2-Goals#WebAPI
  • Mounir added screen-orientation lock support on Android. Full-screen pages can now choose to be in landscape or portrait mode!
  • Gregor landed support for Settings API on B2G.
  • Doug T started implementing Device Storage API which will give applications access to things like "pictures" and "documents" folders.
  • Doug T did initial implementation of AmbientLight and Proximity sensors.
  • Spec draft for API for setting current time sent to mailing list.
  • Spec draft for Web Activities sent to mailing list. So far this is scoped to the specific needs B2G has.
  • Discussion ongoing regarding security model for OpenWebApps/B2G/WebAPI

Network
