Camino 2009 Week 27-28
- While continuing to keep reviews moving, Stuart Morgan also developed a patch to use new Mac OS X 10.5 functions to take bookmark folder icons from the OS and a patch to future-proof our software update feed generation script. In addition, he landed his patch to allow the multi-touch “pinch” gesture to trigger the zoom function.
- Sean Murphy kept busy on both the forthcoming safe browsing feature and on our dreaded CJK font UI bug. The notification bar that appears when clicking through a phishing or malware warning landed last week, bringing the safe browsing UI one step closer to completion. With some extensive testing help from Philippe Wittenbergh, Sean also produced a patch for the Fonts tab of the Appearance preference pane that behaves exactly as it needs to, properly supporting localized font names and translating back and forth between Cocoa and Gecko font names where required.
- Christopher Henderson continued working on UTF-8 URL support in the Bookmarks Manager (and updated the associated patch for location bar autocomplete as well). In addition, he posted a patch for review for the new zoom menu items configuration.
- Summer of Code hacker Dan Weber currently has four patches awaiting review or super-review. Autocompleting from bookmark URLs and the new appearance for the autocomplete window should pass super-review soon. Over the past two weeks, Dan also wrote patches to enable proper autocompletion of redirected URLs and to “partition off” the icons on the right side of the location bar.
- I checked in a localization-related fix and some code cleanup and also put together and landed the latest ad-blocking update during this reporting period. I also undertook a number of tasks to prepare for the upcoming branching and spent some time testing both of Sean’s patches.
That’s about it for this update; we stayed pretty busy, although it may not seem that way from the list above. We’re continuing to push towards Camino 2.0 Beta 4 and the subsequent Camino 2.0 release.
