Re: Quantum Flow Engineering Newsletter #5

I will repeat what I said earlier, and I should know, because I'm running Quantum Render. There was never a suggestion that Photon should be waiting for Quantum Render, or a WebRender subset of it. The graphics team has been monitoring the Photon plans to see if something surprising is coming

Re: Quantum Flow Engineering Newsletter #5

I was not saying the plans don't make sense, only that the ordering turns out to be unfortunate. I am also not suggesting we modify the plan, as the WebRender trajectory is not conducive to being a blocker for any work planed for 57 (as has been pointed out). I do think people should keep WebRender

Re: Quantum Flow Engineering Newsletter #5

But what we *can* do is have communications with the WebRender devs to see that our approaches (which have been mostly vetted by graphics and layout people already) will continue to perform well (and possibly better) in WebRender. On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Justin Dolske wrote: > > > On Tu

Re: Quantum Flow Engineering Newsletter #5

Jack are you speaking in the context of Servo? From the Quantum Render (Gecko with the WebRender evolution we're working on) point of view, Proton should not count on anything getting better. In other words, design for Firefox 55 and assume things will not get worse. If you need them to get

Quantum Flow Engineering Newsletter #5

Hi everyone, Another week full of performance related updates quickly went by, I'd like to share a few of them. We're almost mid-April, about 3 weeks after I shared my first update on our progress battling our sync I
