Summary
- Focals, focals, focals.
- We have a bunch of performance fixes waiting for the tree
to open (and in one case waiting for a blockers to be fixed).
- The huge XSLT rewrite is also waiting for the tree to open.
This will bring a bunch of improvements, for example enabling JavaScript
in the result document.
Accomplishments
- rayw
- SOAP: A fair amount of new code involving the handling
of complex data types and arrays, mapping back and forth between these and
common native types. I put in new array code for decoding many variations
of multidimensional, sparse, and partially-transmitted arrays.
- I also wrote a few new test cases. Also identified (after
some wasted effort) an xpconnect feature we rely on that had not been added
to xpconnect, making some tests impossible (except through Vidur's proxy
code).
- Lots of W3C and SOAP work.
- harishd
- Fixed bug
120345
, and 102515.
- Investigated
bug 119066
( no clue yet! ).
- Did code reviews.
- Worked with Dave Barrowman on P3P related issues.
- Wrote peer reviews.
- Triaged bugs.
- peterv
- Got output rewrite reviewed (Thanks to Pike, sicking and jst for the
reviews).
- Started improving xsl:number support.
- nisheeth
- Starting 2002, I'm leaving management and going back to development.
I will still be part of the XML/DOM/Security team but will work on projects
that are identified within Cathleen's Performance/Footprint team.
- Wrote self assessment for July 2001 - December 2001
focal period.
- Attended a performance meeting on Monday to figure
out which tasks to work on.
- Saw Pav's presentation on ImageLib on Wednesday to
learn about imagelib before trying to help him out.
- Had a one on one with Pav on Wednesday to understand
what is blocking Pav's patch to bug 104999
(don't keep around redundant image data). Organized a meeting with Kevin,
Pav, and Don Cone on Thursday to get more traction on the blockers. Don
and Pav will work together to fix the blockers to Pav's patch. I am free
to go work on other stuff.
- Spent an hour with dp on Thursday learning about spacetrace.
- Spent all of Friday in a room with Heikki doing focals
for the XML/DOM/Security team.
- mstoltz
- Bug fixes, testing, and other continued work on caps performance boost
(119646). Showing 10x speedup in CanAccess().
- Worked on security reviewers' guide for upcoming review
effort
- heikki
- Code reviews for harishd
- Trying to get jrgm's page loader tests running on my
machines so I could test on some nonstandard URLs (XML, comment heavy pages,
etc.). I am stuck - test stops after first page.
- Run page load time test with my comment parsing improvements
- 2.5% improvement but I am blocked by a string bug. See bug 110544.
- Went through a bunch of old XML bugs in hopes that
harishd's XML parser architecture change would have fixed them - was able
to mark half a dozen as worksforme, including crashers!
- Focal reviews.
Plans for next week
- harishd
- peterv
- Check in output rewrite (after fixing some small reviewer nits).
- Make DOM ClassInfo extensible.
- nisheeth
- Work on bug 81446
(Reloading leaks memory)
- Work on bugs hanging off of DHTML performance meta
bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=21762
- mstoltz
- Finish performance work and check in.
- Triage and set schedule for the rest of the next release
cycle.
- Keep working on reviewers' guide
- heikki
- Some more work with focals.
- Provided the tree opens for 0.9.9., check in a bunch
of stuff.
- Need to do something about the XML regressions that
seem to be caused by perf/footprint work mostly.
This week:
- Akkana (Composer Team)
- Gave a brownbag talk on using the DOM serializers
- Wrote a document for mozilla.org
on using the serializers.
- Checked in the fix for 112139, infinite loop/hang in rewrap.
- Checked in the first implementation of 80805, the new find code. It's currently preffed off by default. Spent
a lot of time trying to fix the mac build since diffs on the XML project
file didn't work right between my Linux machine and Joe's mac.
- Checked in the fix for 105122, Windows ctrl+bs/del.
- Spent some time helping chase down Mozilla font problems on Linux.
- Discussed sheriff scheduling issues with Kathy and Chris McAfee:
the colorful calendar and the mail script don't follow the same algorithm,
so they keep getting out of sync.
- Helped bryner investigate bug 97708, a crash in copy/paste.
- Numerous meetings.
- Kathy (Composer Team)
- triage of editorbase bug list
- triage of non-targeted bugs
- got ftp publishing of main Composer document working in nsIWebBrowserPersist
but Adam isn't 100% happy with this approach (note: http publishing is blocked
by some bug on Darin's plate)
- checked in code for using nsIWebBrowserPersist for saving
- fixed smoketest blocker 120344 in Composer
- code reviews and reopening bugs that were incorrectly resolved as
fixed or worksforme
- Charley (Composer Team)
- 0.9.8 bugs fixed and checked in:
- 112276
Output correct values for 'align' attribute for img, iframe, object,
applet, and input elements.
- 120607
Fixed hasAttribute for non-mapped attributes. (Got some experience in
DOM code to fix this and last item.)
- 109296
Link Checker dialog UI (first draft). We still have problem, but I can
now get help from Akkana to debug this.
- 10540
Moved Composer-only menuitems to new overlay to not show them in IM and
Mail Composer.
- Checked in Neil Rasbrook's Form element UI (
45495
). Continuing to improve those dialogs (new patches attached for 0.9.9).
- Fixes ready for review:
- 114531
Add radio buttons to let user control using alt text. Much nicer than
the current, annoying error dialog.
- 93487
Set default directory in Composer. I'm fairly sure my work is right,
but there was a problem in FilePicker code that I still need to investigate
- 89975
Make "Edit Page" edit a focused frame in frameset page. This expanded
to include moving all editor-related methods from XPFE files into editorApplicationOverlay.js
(in editor UI tree) so it's included via an overlay. Also submitted cleanup
of navigator.js code for "Save Frame" as suggest by Brade.
- Meetings to discuss EDITORBASE bugs.
- Daniel (Layout Team)
- CSS WG conf call
- excerpt from W3C home page:17 January 2002: The CSS Working Group is pleased to announce the first release of
the CSS Selectors Test Suite
written by Daniel Glazman (Netscape/AOL), Ian Hickson, and Tantek Çelik
(Microsoft) for Selectors
and the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) language Levels 2 and 3.
- 119614 rename/remove obsolete elements/attrs from Composer xul
- 119447 Composer should be able to unbold/unitalicize invalid markup
; I had to back out the fix for this bug because of the very bad regression
described in bug 120377
- 120377 highlight color icon does not work
- 102547 Using different paragraph style, cause alignment problems
; my fix for this one will allow to remove from the document most of useless
DIVs, those DIVs being generated when user aligns content
- 120662 composer background image broken source code
- on Joe's plate
- closed various WFM
- 95453 highlighting text and clicking on 'Left Align' adds <br>
; I wonder if my fix for 102547 above could solve that one too
- 99545 can not use the alignment buttons if text styles (bold, italic,
and underline) are set before typing
