2005-10-04 Branch builds (second round)

These builds are release candidates for Firefox 1.5 Beta 2.

New stuff:

  • Fixed: 304403 - Better safe mode UE, part 2.
  • Fixed: 310749 - Update cairo to 1.0.2 on branch.
  • Fixed: 310957 - Switch win32 svg renderer from GDI+ to cairo.
  • Fixed: 310976 - Treat 1.5.* as 1.5.infinity.

Fixes:

  • Fixed: 302495 - Page setup and Print preview fails.
  • Fixed: 267422 - Print Preview window is partly overlayed by background and is missing scrollbars.
  • Fixed: 275387 - Print Preview Scale and orientation not adjusted (stuck on page setup settings).
  • Fixed: 309840 - Regular expression /[/]/ gives "unterminated character class" error.
  • Fixed: 309452 - Dropping a tab to another tabbar should drop the URL.
  • Fixed: 309924 - Removing <stop> elements from gradients is not live.

Fixes for software update bugs:

  • Fixed: 311099 - Partial update fails, tries full update, then fails to apply that update. (The fix was mostly server-side.)
  • Fixed: 310715 - Software update fails going from 2005093006 to 2005100107 nightly build.
  • Fixed: 310873 - Auto-update across versions with different app version does not update uninstall info.
  • Fixed: 305226 - Details link in Software Update is broken.
  • Fixed: 309784 - Auto Update does not work [ensure update check and silent download happens as expected].
  • Fixed: 306961 - App update should handle file sharing violations better (don't download a full update if the reason partial update failed was a file in use).

Fixes for regressions:

  • Fixed: 281709 - Under at least Windows XP, shadows are not drawn under menus on first appearance (since Jan 20).

  • Fixed: 310774 - Unable to select most menu items using keyboard when error page is shown (since Aug 21). The fix was to back out the fix for bug 301471 (XUL error pages should have "Try Again" button focused, eliminating the need of additional Tab pressing).
  • Fixed: 310552 - Download Manager shows no progress unless download is cancelled.
  • Fixed: 311071 - Treat <! as the start of a comment to end of line, unless e4x=1 (fixing e.g. bug 310993).

    What’s the advantage of Cairo?

    With gdiplus, Windows 98 users had to download gdiplus.dll to see SVG content, and some SVG features didn’t work properly even on Windows XP. See http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/tor/archives/2005/09/call_for_testing_cairo_backend.html.

    As for speed, some SVG features are faster in cairo and some are faster in gdiplus, but cairo is improving faster than gdiplus.

    Jesse, do you read comments on this posts? Last build(3/10) in comments there were reported some serious issues(with bookmarks dissabling keys etc.). Are those solved? Do they re-appear? What is a firefox for a mess of awfull code that such a thing as bookmark can touch key-handling?

    “tester”, I agree that Firefox’s focus code sucks. I can’t reproduce the problem Manoj mentioned, though. I’m using an Oct 5 build of Firefox on Mac.
