Hi folks, New home screen has landed, and tests are (still) looking green, so hopefully it sticks. We'll be keeping a close eye on incoming bugs and tackling any as quickly as we can. I'd like to think it's already pretty solid, but then I'd like to think lots of things :)
There are differences to the old home screen, and unfortunately, dividers and app-grouping are currently unimplemented. It's high priority to be replaced over the next cycle, but will not be ready for 2.5. We decided quite early in planning phases that pin-the-web was higher priority than app-grouping if it came down to it, and it has come down to it. Bug 1191745 tracks currently known issues, the largest of which is bug 1215967 - that vertical paging is enabled by default (but should be disabled - it's not ready as it is). I'll fix this first thing Monday. Second-most notable is probably bug 1215553 - that fullyLoaded time can be significantly longer than verticalhome (visuallyLoaded is quicker though) - I'm actively working on this also and intend to get things significantly better before the week is up. Features-wise, new home screen brings pin-the-web, improved interactive performance, fast icon arrangement (there is no longer an edit mode) and a persistent search bar. The code-base is also a lot more modular, with reusable web components and extensive automated testing (both unit and integration). It is a solid base upon which to start building new features (first and foremost being app-grouping, or some similar replacement). Testing and feedback is, as always, appreciated; especially feedback that we can act upon before the impending 2.5 release. Cheers all, --Chris
