Camino 2008 Week 7

Posted in Camino at 2:15 am by Smokey

This week we started to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the shiny glow of a brand-new ✈ (er, browser version).

  • Stuart Morgan, Samuel Sidler, and I spent a bit of time this week triaging the ✈ bug list as well as the Beta 3 and ✈ blocker nominations. We pushed off a number of bugs that no one was working on that weren’t critical to 1.6 and prioritized others for 1.6 Beta 3.
  • Stuart put together a number of patches for smaller ✈ bugs, following up on some of our earlier feature landings and some of our 10.5 UI polish (including a fix for the etched text in the status bar on 10.5, which wasn’t quite right once 10.5.2 appeared). In addition, he also reviewed a number of patches from our other contributors and chased after some less-than-straightforward issues from new bug reports.
  • Jeff Dlouhy continued his work on tab drag and drop, fighting the tab dividers all the way.
  • Peter Jaros spent more time fixing AppleScript bugs related to his summer work, including an accidental dictionary deletion that seemed to have been related to an OS bug on Mac OS X 10.4.
  • Sean Murphy continued his work polishing our new OpenSearch support and did a couple of reviews, too.
  • Nick Kreeger posted a new patch to get window.blur working this week.
  • After recovering from the releases of Firefox 2.0.0.12 and Camino 1.5.5 last week, Sam caught his breath and posted a preview of our icon touch-up. No, we’re not “refreshing” our icons to look like Windows or “re-imaging” them to look like Safari; the goal is to make the icons sharper so they stand out better on 10.5 while preserving the signature Camino look you’ve become accustomed to on 10.3.9 and 10.4.11.
  • Stuart tagged me for reviews on a number of the bugs he worked on this week, and he also convinced me to take on a tiny bug in Obj-C land, which I did over the weekend. Besides that, my week was mostly triage and some mostly unsuccessful attempts at word-smithery.

This week starts off with a holiday in the US, so depending on everyone’s schedules, we might have a busier week or a slower one here in Camino-land.
