gagan's group's status

submitted on 2001-02-19

Summary
  • gagan
    • Cache development is full speed ahead. Patrick joins the team to get some of it in parallel.
    • Darin put in some tough last-minute work for SSL proxy bug 31174 for 0.8. The real fix comes with Dougt's branch landing.
Highlights
  • darin
    • Partially fixed bug 31174 (SSL proxies) for mozilla 0.8
    • Helped fix cache and Mac socket bugs on dougt's branch.
  • neeti
    • Investigated, resolved bug 62787 - XML bindings loading problem.
    • Currently working on footprint bugs 66691 and 66694.
    • Investigating leak of nsHTTPHandler and nsHTTPChannel objects.
  • gordon
    • Making progress on nsCacheService object cache implementation
    • Evaluated various data structures for memory cache, and chose PLDHashTable on advice from scc and brendan
    • Began discussing disk cache design specifics with beard
    • Investigated at PR_Poll situation on Mac with sfraser: no quick fix.
  • dougt
    • Fixed major regressions on Necko Branch.
    • Reviewing Bug Fixes.
  • pavlov
    • new image library:
      • Worked on image scaling
        • Got scaling working on Windows
        • Got scaling working on UNIX using both GdkPixbuf and XIE (thanks to Syd Logan for his help with XIE.)
        • Dynamic image scaling is (at least) visually faster now on Windows than it is in IE, and it is pretty speedy on Unix.
      • Added observers and notification mechanisms for animated images to notify layout that the images have changed.
      • Chris Saari got animated GIFs decoding and drawing (transitions are not quite right yet) and has started to look at JPEG decoding.
      • Converted XUL image frame to use new image loading APIs.
      • Got 8bit alpha channel images working on unix using GdkPixbuf...
  • gagan
    • conducted cache exec review on Monday. Got a lot of positive feedback on the development of new cache.
    • attended the all-hands on Thursday.
    • Cache team adds Patrick for disk cache development. Hopefully this should get development going in parallel.

      • Continue cleaning up miscellaneous code.
      • Help Saari work on GIF frame transitions and JPEG decoding.
      • Run quantify to get some real numbers on the speed differences between the new and old imagelibs.
      • Fix any sneaky memory leaks in the new code.
