[dev-servo] mozjs build error

Hi folks! It seems like everybody with an existing build of Servo from before https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/12255 is hitting a build error that looks like https://gist.github.com/kevgs/f58601089c2e404b303682cd4f74 . I don't know what the proper way to avoid it _would_ have been, but t

[dev-servo] Blink's new layout proposal

[dev-servo] Github CI checks are expected to pass

Hi folks! We turned off Appveyor builds about 1.5 months ago because they were constantly failing while building SpiderMonkey, and we just had a few days where the TravisCI builds were permafailing unexpectedly. I am pleased to report that we have re-enabled Appveyor, and the TravisCI failures

[dev-servo] Getting rid of the "Servo unexpectedly quit last time; reopen/don't reopen" dialog on OS X

Servo occasionally gets into a state where it continually wants to reopen the windows from the last run that was interrupted by a crash on OS X. This doesn't actually work and is annoying. I made this disappear by running "rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.servo.servo.savedState/".

[dev-servo] Panic reports belong in a separate repository

While there can be advantages to having them integrated directly into servo/servo, the sheer volume of reports is making my usual practices of keeping on top of things happening in servo/servo difficult to maintain. We should create a separate repository and redirect the panic reporter there, a

[dev-servo] Stacks reported in automated panic reports cannot be trusted

Hi everyone! To my dismay, I have realized that the stack traces for automated crash reports cannot be trusted for the purposes of marking issues as duplicates or fixed by a more recent PR. This is not to say that the stacks are incorrect in any way, merely that the panic reported is not guaran

[dev-servo] New label for issues that have been reproduced

Hi folks! Given the inundation of new crash reports with the release of the nightly, I've added a C-reproduced label to the issue tracker. I'm going to apply it to issues that I have been able to reproduce, and I encourage others to do the same. This should make it easier for people to find ite

[dev-servo] Standardizing upgrade procedures for crates.io dependencies for servo/servo

https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/11824 relies on upgrading hyper to a more recent version. As far as I recall, for servo/servo we have only ever asked people to upgrade the package version via `./mach cargo-update`; we haven't required (or even asked for) modifying all of our many TOML files

[dev-servo] How to efficiently react to an element changing visibility status from DOM code?

While listening to the Gecko platform talk about shutting down video decoders for offscreen elements, I wondered about how we could do the same in Servo. We obviously don't support decoding video yet, but what would be an efficient way of doing that in the future? Cheers, Josh

[dev-servo] Asynchronous image loading in layout

I'm in the process of removing all traces of synchronous image loading from Servo, building on top of one of this quarter's NCSU projects. I'm dealing with a test failure right now where I understand the problem, but I'm currently stumped on how to solve it, so I'm open to ideas. THE PROBLEM:

Looks like it the increase in number of concurrent test processes increased the frequency of an existing race. I'll see if I can reproduce it locally next week so we don't have to miss out on the automation benefits. On 2016-05-06 8:22 PM, Matt Brubeck wrote: We have a new intermittent failur
