The GetBoundingMetrics() interface and code have landed in GFX.
In conjunction with this landing, the support for the Symbol font
that Erik did on windows was landed and is now available. (On Linux,
the symbol font is still in #ifdef MOZ_MATHML -- over to Erik to
default it, the CSS font-family bug fix has to be defaulted as well).
Do a search for GetBoundingMetrics in LXR to see how it
is entangled in GFX. The support for the Symbol font on Windows
is a big work which is best appreciated through a diff (Bonsai).
The log messages on Tinderbox read:
Summary:
GetBoundingMetrics() added in nsIRenderingContext and
associated changes elsewhere (platform-specific) to support
its implementation. Fixes for existing bugs discovered while
doing the implementation.
- Details for gfx/public:
API of the GetBoundingMetrics() method for accurate measurements
of a string in order to allow precise positioning when processing
MathML.
review: Erik, Shyjan.
- Details for gfx/src/ps:
Empty hooks to make the code compile while awaiting
implementation.
- Details for gfx/src/gtk:
Shyjan Mahamud 's changes to enable the
symbol font on Linux, as well as the fix for the CSS font-family
bug, and the computation of the bounding metrics.
review: Erik, rbs.
- Details for gfx/src/windows:
Erik van der Poel 's code for the support
of the Symbol font.
review: Shyjan, rbs.
My changes to DrawString to use the baseline as the reference point
and changes aimed at computing the bounding metrics.
review: Erik, Shyjan
Thanks to Vilya Harvey of NAG Ltd who contributed code
for the tag, the lizard can now show the zeros
of a second degree polynomial!
Now, for the msqrt tag to work in general, support for
the stretchy sqrt symbol is needed. But looking at the
glyphs in the Symbol font, it doesn't seem to me that a
stretchy sqrt can be built by parts with what is
provided there. Glyphs that can be piled together
to get a tall sqrt are not there and so one has to
draw the the v-branches of the sqrt symbol explicitly.
Is this true? Or am I missing something?
This week I have
- nearly finished basic advanced edit dialog for editor
- begun some UI tidy-up for prefs and smartsearch
In the coming week(s) I hope to:
- continue prefs tidy up
- find and kill any UI work that needs attention for beta.
The big thing this week is that M11 is freezing, and will be posted
RSN.
The big focus now is on handling what we call "dogfood" bugs. They are
defined by having the word "dogfood" in their summary (supplied by the
submitter, or the person handling the bug), and having received a
"PDT+" approval in the Whiteboard field (supplied by the Product
Delivery Team, a bunch of pointy headed folks here at Netscape). The
status indicates that the bug is critical to day-in-day-out usage of
the product, including surfing, and reading/writing email.
Our goal is to get down to a mere 5 PDT+ dogfood bugs by 12/15. This
is a challenging goal indeed... and the critical effort in house is to
focus on the current 100+ such bugs (while landing the last parts of
architectural infrastructure proposed by the porkjockey effort).
In all cases, we'll next have a stability freeze on 12/6, which will
lead to an M12 checkpoint release.
Bottom line: If folks want to help the effort, they should search for
PDT+ dogfood bugs, and try to make suggestions, or debug the problems.
Assuming we reach dogfood, we'll then proceed to go into a roughly
bi-monthly beta release cycle (with the first beta happening about two
months, modulo Xmas and New Years) after we reach dogfood. Those
bi-monthly betas will continue until the product is cooked... but I
can't make public FCS announcements... I just work here.

Chris Saari landed a set of major changes in focus, fixing numerous problems.
(saari)
-
Chris also fixed some regressions in keybinding. Some individual
bindings may still be broken though. (saari)
-
Daniel Matejka got popup widgets working in modal windows. (danm)
-
Eric Vaughan finished the GFX scrollbar work. (evaughan)
-
Eric also reimplemented box on top of linked list instead of vector
so it can contain more that 100 children. (evaughan)
-
Mike Pinkerton has gotten drag & drop to the point where it should
be usable for dropping on trees now, please report bugs against anything
that still doesn't work. Drag feedback on trees is also much improved.
(pinkerton)
-
Mike also fixed dragExit events to be correctly handled on toolbars,
and correctly fire on the Mac when the mouse leaves the window. (pinkerton)
-
Mike also corrected the hardcoded native Mac system colors, thanks to a
table of the correct colors compiled by mpt26@student.canterbury.ac.nz.
(pinkerton)
-
Stuart Parmenter got native system colors working on Unix. (pavlov)
-
Pav got drag and drop almost working on UNIX.... but blizzard's SUPERWIN
branch breaks most of it...(pavlov)
-
David Hyatt fixed some tree scrolling bugs, and another bug where columns
were required (17966?) (hyatt)
-
Resolved 37 bugs in the last week, fixing 18 of them. See our
resolved
bug list below for details.
Priorities
(current open bugs in bold)
-
danm: 16310, 18005, 17065
-
evaughan: checkin new box implementation (18345), finish pork jockey
work of removing clip view from scrolling views.
-
pinkerton: document D&D usage (13363, 13364, 13365); eliminate
errant dragGesture events 11291
-
pavlov: D&D bugs 9642, 9643; help blizzard land SUPERWIN branch;
fix images drawing through menus (bug 16018); fix windows not being able
to be made smaller on unix after they are shown (17936)
-
saari: Menu positioning 9454, fix any remaining keybinding problems,
bug 9701
-
hyatt: Chrome registry 12687, help Alecf with trees.
-
sdagley: nsiFile, help Scott Furman with Mac-specific cache tasks.
Issues
-
Inadequate development hardware is still causing lengthy build times, and
hence checkin delays, especially on secondary platforms.
People
-
Dan Mosedale has kindly offered to help Pavov with the remaining Linux
Pork Jockey work. Thanks Dan! (dmose)
-
Ben Goodger starts his internship for XPApps on Monday! He's not
on the XPToolkit team, but we are pretty excited.
-
David Hyatt has been on vacation since Thursday, returning Monday. (hyatt)
