=== GFX Update ===
* Finished collecting our Q3 goals. Full list available [[Platform/2009-Q3-Goals#GFX|on the wiki]]. Please let us know if we've missed anything. Highlights:
** Hardware acceleration.
** Multiprocess work.
** Cairo software performance.
** Cairo capabilities.
** Font system enhancements.
** Decode-on-draw for images.
** Windows integration work (mostly Win7).
* Not a lot to report, lots of ongoing work in the above areas. Highlights of that work:
** Pixman image scaling - better quality scaling. Trying to land soon.
** {{bug|753}} in progress, chasing a few last bugs in the patch before going through more intensive testing & review.
** Decode-on-draw in initial stages of development.
** nsWindow refactoring landed.

=== Layout Update ===

* Compositor phase 1 patches up for review, trying to figure out who gets the reviews (roc)
* SMIL/CSS up for review (dholbert)
* Frame poisoning ready to land (zwol), investigating per-type freelists
* Harfbuzz work in progress, should land prototype on trunk in a few weeks (jfkthame)
* Opentype feature spec posted to CSS WG (jdaggett)
* Lots of gruesome font format discussions
* Transitions spec issues (dbaron)
* Reworking Ogg decoding (doublec)
* Ogg indexing (cpearce)
* Ogg fuzzing (mgregan)
* jemalloc issues (karlt)

=== Content Update ===

* HTML5 parser landed! (preffed off -- about:config pref is "html5.enable")
* peterv's slimwrappers ready to land (modulo fixing an existing leak that was triggered by this work)
* bent got the test plugin to draw when running out of process.
* Lots of awesome plugin code simplification going on (Josh).
* LiveConnect removal patch up for review.

=== Mac OS X Update ===

=== JS ===

* looked some at Google's [http://code.google.com/p/sputniktests/ Sputnik] ES3 testsuite
** none of our existing failures are too serious
** some errors are codified in ES5
** a large number of existing failures can be tracked to giving native functions (those built into ES5 itself) .prototype
** many also due to reading all input as ASCII when Sputnik expects UTF-8, see {{bug|495970}} and {{bug|501265}}, probably will switch to read input as UTF-8 for simplicity
** work on bugfixes probably not particularly high-priority, will keep an eye on things as UTF-8 and similar bugs are fixed to clear out the low-hanging fruit

=== Security ===

=== Electrolysis ===

Work progressing: phase I not quite finished. The project repository is almost populated, and a bug has been filed to get buildbot/tinderbox builds.

cjones working on IPC protocol layer.

Test plugin drawing from separate process on Windows.

=== Tree Management ===

=== Roundtable (both topics deferred to next week) ===
* triaging blocking nominations earlier in the cycle? (dbaron)
** getting regressions fixed when people still remember the code that caused them
** having a smaller pile at the end of the cycle
** keeping mozilla-central in more-shippable state
* Can we use a multi-state flag for blocking-1.9.2? Proposed states (bsmedberg):
** ?
** -
** next alpha
** last alpha
** beta
** final
