== Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements ==
We are hoping to make 3 4 major improvements to the Mac OS X plugin architecture in Gecko 1.9:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344425 344425] - support NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()"
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336060 336060] - use a slower idleEvent timer for plugins that are not in a foreground tab on the key window
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344427 344427] Support Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, as proposed below. Significant changes include support for 64-bit plugins and allowing 32-bit plugins to use CoreGraphics.
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347511 347511] - support .webplugin plugins
This is pretty ambitious, but we can start cutting if we need to when we get close to the deadline.
== Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models Spec ==
[[Mac:NPAPI_Drawing_Models]] contains the spec for Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, which happens to solve the problem of 64-bit plugins on Mac OS X. The spec is not final and will be updated as changes are made.
