intefaces.

(13009, 96461)
- Lots of code reviews.
- pavlov
- Bug 100470 - Add more error checking and proper return values to the
GIF decoder. This should avoid crashes in imagelib due to out of memory
errors and fixes the GIF decoder to stop processing invalid GIFs immediatly.
This hopefully helps with mac heap corruption bug 95410 which has the GIF
decoder in 2 of its stacks, but I'm not entirely sure.
- Bugscape 7180 - Problems with partial image cancelations.
Good progress is being made on solving this and fix is expected early during
the week starting on 9/23.
- Bug 87923 - I believe that I fixed this crash, but
now there is another crash (not in imagelib) that we are investigating.
- gagan
- http://status/bugs/ almost up ;-)

| Lowlights |
- darin
- didn't get a chance to hash out the initial pipelining patch like i
had planned... maybe next week ;)
- dougt
- Work Internet connection to work has been cut off since Friday. Have
not checked email since Thursday night. I will try to catch up today. This
is possibly related to some internet worm/virus.
- pavlov
- Bug 88895 - Certain image doesn't print. I tracked this down to a problem
with printing, and with the way printing does not wait for the loadgroup
to complete all loads. I've given this back to dcone
- gagan
- http://status/bugs/ almost up... :-(
- couldn't deliver the bugzilla/proj. mgmt. presentation
cuz we ran out of time...
|
| Plans for next week |
- darin
- http pipelining patch (maybe)
- triage more bugs
- investigate/fix remaining nsbranch+ bugs
- neeti
- Continue work on ComponentManager bloat
- gordon
- Work with Vidur on Mach V Necko requirements for web apps.
- dougt
- Get through more email that usual.
- Test nsISupports patch on Mac.
- Continue with XPCOM API work.
- pavlov
- Bug 92368 - This bug seems related to bug 87923. More investigation
needed.
- Bug 95410 - Random Mac only heap corruption. I could
use some help with this bug from Mac people and QA on getting a real reproducable
test case.
- Bug 92248 - Flickering images on mouseover.
- Bug 80292 - Black hash marks in the personal toolbar.
After fixing the original problem a while ago, there still seems to be a
small set of people seeing this. Looks to be a rounding bug in the tiling
code.
- gagan
- do the presentation that couldn't be done :-)
- get status/bugs up and working again...
