2006-05-17 Trunk builds

Fixes:

  • Fixed: 326273 - Implement nsIThreadManager. This should speed up Firefox slightly in general and make DHTML animations much smoother. It also fixed a few hangs and crashes. The patch was 400KB, gzipped.
  • Fixed: 335306 - Inline spellchecking for textareas.
  • Fixed: 337178 - Add "search suggestions" feature (autocomplete to common searches, at least for Google and Yahoo, instead of user's search history).
  • Fixed: 328154 - Restore session when restarting for application update restart or recovering from crash.
  • Fixed: 337770 - Upgrade to NSS 3.11.2 pre-release. This gives Firefox support for TLS Server Name Indication.
  • Fixed: 264830 - If keyword.URL doesn't lead to a redirect, resulting page has bogus "keyword:" URL.

Fixes for recent regressions:

  • Fixed: 336875 - With Adblock Plus 0.7 installed, images disappear upon reloading any page (since May 6)
  • Workaround available: 335747 - Crash when an extension is disabled and the next is selected (in addons manager new style) (with some versions of Console2 extension installed) [@ xpcom_core.dll]. (Workaround: upgrade to Console² 0.3.4.4+.)
  • Fixed: 328428 - [Windows] Talkback causes (VC8) build to crash, Win2k-only [@ ntdll.dll].
  • Fixed: 337036 - [Linux] Crashes in IM_get_owning_window, e.g. when dismissing dialogs.

Trunk regressions:

  • Since VC8/Cairo: 329237 - [Windows] Firefox uninstaller fails.
  • Since Cairo: 330715 - Cairo incorrectly substitutes fonts and then bolds them incorrectly (incorrect fonts on Burning Edge bug lists).
  • Since Cairo: 324707 - Animated GIFs leave trails / don't erase in Cairo.
  • Since Cairo: 324706 - Bitmap fonts don't render in cairo builds.
  • Since Cairo: 324560 - Can't see many Unicode characters in Cairo.
  • Since Jan 26 (FDL): [Mac] Opacity doesn't work. (Related to 325296. Cairo will fix.)
  • Since Jan 26 (FDL): 324819 - Fixed positioned elements now lag/flicker when scrolling.
  • Since Jan 26 (FDL): 324963 - [Windows] Menu highlight is broken/doesn't show up/not painted.

    It would be fun to have list with most popular bugs.
    I mean like “Bug of the Week” and “Bug of the Month”. With comments disabled.

    Though this seems rather obvious, can we safely assume that session restore is going into Firefox 2.x (Branch 1.8.x) AND Firefox 3.x (Trunk 1.9.x)? I certainly hope so, as that alone might make it worthy of a full major version bump.

    Would still like to see FAYT working in user input textareas….
    Wish I were a good enough coder to figure out how to do it myself.
