Camino 2008 Week 48
In spite of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, we still managed a fairly active week.
- Stuart Morgan landed his patch to add Tab Overview as an optional toolbar button, worked on security UI patches, and, as always, performed reviews.
- Sean Murphy’s tab dragging patch landed early in the week amid much fanfare, and he began work on some of the follow-up bugs.
- Christopher Henderson’s revivification of Håkan Waara’s work to enable middle-click support for the Bookmark Bar also landed this week. Christopher also continued work on our site icon sizing issues during the week.
- Ilya Sherman experienced his first Camino meeting this week, and we hammered out some more details related to his Growl-for-downloads patch during said meeting.
- Jeff Dlouhy spent his Camino time this week working on more polish for Tab Overview (as well as delivering an angry review on one of Christopher’s patches).
- Chris Lawson spun a new version of his patch to better handle Address Book cards for companies. He was also involved in our effort to track down the nasty PPC Gecko crash.
- In addition to landing Sean’s and Christopher’s exciting patches, I kept busy this week working on the PPC crash regression in Gecko 1.9.0 that I mentioned earlier in the week. Working together with Samuel Sidler, NSPR developer Wan-Teh Chang, Chris Lawson, and a handful of other Camino users, we discovered the cause of the crash and Dan Veditz checked in an interim fix. This means Camino users on PPC Macs will no longer experience “random” crashes whenever JavaScript is used (and Firefox users on PPC will no longer experience inescapable crashes on startup) in Gecko 1.9.0 (Camino 2.0b1pre/Firefox 3.0.5pre) nightly builds!
Now that the PPC crash is out of the way and tab dragging has landed, we’ll start thinking about Camino 2.0 Beta 1 in the coming weeks.
