Hi all, Over the last couple of years there were a lot of new additions and changes to the layers sytems which have caused the current implementation to become hard to maintain with a lot of code duplication. The graphics team has been working hard on re-designing part of the layers system, this also means refactoring a significant portion of the existing code. Since this means a lot of work this is being executed on the Graphics project branch.
As we are getting closer to completing the work (although completion is still some ways off), it's becoming increasingly difficult to merge work being done on mozilla-central. In light of the end-goal of having a layers system that's easier to amend and maintain as soon as possible we'd therefore like to ask everyone working on the platform to minimize work done on layers, and to make sure all patches going into this part of the code to receive explicit review from somebody on the graphics team. If you have any questions or want to learn more about the refactoring feel free to contact myself or another member of the graphics team. You can find the refactoring work on https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/graphics.
