Camino 2009 Week 14

Posted in Camino at 1:32 am by Smokey

We had a small flurry of activity last week that translated into big steps toward Camino 2.

• After Tuesday’s open-sourcing of Google’s client framework for Breakpad, Stuart Morgan spent a few hours Wednesday afternoon doing the initial integration work. Following that, he began upstreaming changes to support building on Mac OS X 10.4, common localization toolchains, and other fixes. In addition, Stuart hacked in support for managing security exceptions on top of uncooperative APIs, finishing one of the last major pieces of UI remaining for Camino 2. He also tracked recent Sparkle updates, tackled assorted reviews and handled Summer of Code duties.
• Sean Murphy spent time this week working on his tab dragging performance patch, which should also fix recently-reported drawing bugs on Mac OS X 10.4.
• Christopher Henderson continued his work on making our visible URLs UTF-8 friendly, talking to prospective Summer of Code students, and following up on other bugs. In addition, once the tree re-opens, his AppleScript patch is ready to land.
• After the prior weeks’ release-related fun, I stuck mostly to bug triage and minor coordination efforts last week, though I also posted another iteration of the latest omnibus ad-blocking patch.

That’s it; short and sweet this week, but with Breakpad integration and security exceptions management in progress, we’re moving towards completion on two of the last major pieces of UI blocking Camino 2.
