As in, an extension can implement an image decoder for a new image format, and imagelib will use it. All the rest of the image-loading stuff will work as it already does and be handled by Gecko. Doing that sort of thing from untrusted script is obviously a different question altogether... We have to start thinking about it though. That's the direction we're heading. Have everything be pluggable and implementable from untrusted content. Maybe an isolated worker that can do image processing and communicate a bitmap that might be tainted? The idea behind http://extensiblewebmanifesto.org/ is pretty much this. How you'd go about implementing img as web developer. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/ ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Mostly because there were no notifications native to the Mac (The OS X notification centre didn't exist then). But they added Notification Center support pretty recently.
