Hi folks, Just a heads-up that bug 994190 has landed on mozilla-inbound and will soon be making its way to mozilla-central.
The actual IndexedDB API hasn't changed, and all the tests are green, so everything should just continue to work. The big win here is that we no longer have to bounce every IndexedDB request through the main thread of the parent process, which should improve IndexedDB latency. This is also one of the last big changes needed to get IndexedDB on Workers. However, this is a substantial rework of the IndexedDB and Blob backend code, so be on the lookout for any new crashes or incorrect behavior in either of those areas. Also, this change means that IndexedDB messages can now preempt other main thread messages. Before this patch, for example, if your code sent a message through the message manager and then did something with IndexedDB you could count on the message manager message being processed before the IndexedDB message. That is no longer true. Now the order will depend entirely on how the kernel schedules the database threads, so we may find races in Gaia that were previously relying on that implicit message order. Feel free to ping me if you have questions. Any bugs should of course get filed in Core :: DOM: IndexedDB. Happy weekend, -bent _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
