Is dogfoodability at all platform-specific for fission? i.e. is windows the only platform that is really actively developed/maintained? (as would make sense at this stage)
More concretely, I was under the impression that fission had webrender as a dependency, is that mandatory? Is it actually enforced by the fission pref? (webrender's support of different platforms has varying levels of quality, although it is generally dogfoodable on all major platforms) On Fri, Aug 9, 2019 at 1:43 PM Nika Layzell <n...@thelayzells.com> wrote: > Looks like gmail chewed up the formatting :-S > > Published gdocs link: > > https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTuGpZNthNxk0OYRyBjiHpaKnyKdmb9AompceuncvFmjeXB0bfk-L_LSlQmRaqiqx8vKif-LzdnE2F8/pub > > > On Fri, Aug 9, 2019 at 1:33 PM Nika Layzell <n...@thelayzells.com> wrote: > > > Hey all! > > > > It's been a while (7 months!) since the first Fission newsletter, but > > we've made some exciting progress we'd love to tell you about! > > > > Enabling Fission on Nightly > > > > It's now possible to turn on Fission in nightly builds of Firefox by > > setting fission.autostart pref to true.
