Camino 2009 Week 4
Not a lot happened this week in the Camino world, with travel and holidays and inaugurations and so forth.
- After discovering his review request feed was broken, fearless leader Mike Pinkerton checked his queue the old-fashioned way and gave his stamp of approval to a half-dozen patches.
- Several of us (led by Philippe Wittenbergh’s crack webdev skills and regression-range hunting) teamed up to investigate two nasty Gecko regressions that were discovered this week, one that breaks tab-switching on www.whitehouse.gov and another that causes a hang when trying to book a flight with Lufthansa.
- Christopher Henderson continued work on his unescaped UTF-8 patches and was again pressed into service to point out details of Cocoa to me. He also started working on a patch to add “Allow Flash From This Site” to the context menu when clicking on a blocked Flash animation.
- Ilya Sherman received a coveted sr+ on his Growl integration patch, and he posted a final version that includes proper localization support.
- With help from Chris Lawson and Nick Kreeger, I spent some time trying to debug our 10.3-only OpenSearch ampersand-parsing bug so that Sean Murphy can fix it for 1.6.7. I also hooked up the Growl framework to the build in support of Ilya’s patch (which will land as soon as my patch is reviewed). I also took a quick detour back into Cocoa and posted a patch to make our tooltips to display URLs in unescaped UTF-8 form.
That’s it for the fourth week of January!
