Fixed: 227749 - Add "Copy Source Location" to download manager context menus.
Fixed: 378216 - Disable insecure extension updates by default. (This also disables extensions that specify insecure update mechanisms.)
Fixed: 297903 - Extension updates should link to further information.
Fixed: 280419 - When a temporary file is created from the download manager it should be readonly.
Fixed: 386163 - 'Set Desktop Background' refactoring: use canvas in all cases, support widescreen previews.

Fixed: 394261 - Update Hunspell to version 1.1.12.

Fixes for recent regressions:

Fixed: 354768 - [Mac] Occasionally lose caret/focus in text fields and url bar (since Cocoa widgets were enabled).

2007-09-01 Trunk builds

Fixed: 353460 - SVG image has no horizontal scrollbar.
Fixed: 357951 - Double clicking on the tab overflow scroll buttons should scroll by the width of the tab bar.
Fixed: 393006 - Use a constant tab scrolling speed when holding down the scroll arrows.

Since ?: 394079 - Location bar autocomplete hangs after first character is typed, regardless of speed of character input.

Last Wednesday was an exciting freeze day due to being the deadline for new Gecko 1.9 features. (The deadline for new Firefox 3 frontend features is separate.) The tree has been closed for Alpha 7 for about a week in order to fix regressions, but it looks like Alpha 7 will be tagged today and the tree will reopen.

Fixes:

Fixed: 373353 - Add favicons to location bar autocomplete results.
Fixed: 332748 - Change defalut history from 9 days to 180 days.
Fixed: 294615 - Search/find fails on words containing soft hyphen ().
Fixed: 16769 - Add cms (Color Management) support (preffed off).
Fixed: 371432 - Need an API to store <input type=file> data offline and access when online.
Fixed: 371432 - add a sendAsBinary() method to XMLHttpRequest (for sending data from an <input type=file> element, among other things).
Fixed: 389508 - Implement Cross-site XMLHttpRequest.
Fixed: 194404 - Add the showModalDialog() and showModelessDialog() methods.
Fixed: 280959 - Add support for on[before](cut, copy, paste) events.
Fixed: 339553 - drawString enhancement for <canvas>.
Fixed: 4821 - Add backend support for full page zooming (images and layout in addition to text). (There is no UI in Firefox yet, and we're not sure whether Firefox 3 will have UI for full zoom or text zoom or both. You can use Ted's extension to try out the feature.)
Fixed: 385397 - History menu is slow to open with a large history.
Fixed: 388135 - Don't de-emphasize the path in the location bar (revert the most visible change from bug 366797).
Fixed: 385065 - New protocol handling dialog.
Fixed: 367911 - Implement cross-origin wrappers (to improve cross-site scripting defenses).
Fixed: 387969 - Add support for CSS "text-rendering" property for HTML. (This allows sites to control whether text rendering uses the "quality path", which enables kerning and ligatures on most operating systems, or the "fast path", which forgoes these readability tweaks on most operating systems in favor of rendering speed. The new default for HTML is to use the quality path for large font sizes and the fast path for small font sizes. The cutoff is controlled by a hidden pref that defaults to 20px. Only Windows and Linux have fast paths; Mac trunk currently only has a quality path.)
Fixed: 380813 - Add better scripting support for files and streams (scriptable IO).
Fixed: 373572 - Implement SVG tile filter.
Fixed: 383184 - Implement SVG lighting filters.
Fixed: 382223 - Add support for Camellia to PSM.
Fixed: 221150 - Speed up creation of textboxes.

Fixed: 316981 - background-position property is not available through the CSS DOM interface.
Fixed: 316908 - Add SVG to nsComputedDOMStyle.
Fixed: 80887 - Implement -moz-initial value for almost all remaining CSS properties.
Fixed: 387930 - API for accessing and modifying content handling datastore.

Fixed: 376124 - Random lines rendered when scrolling.
Fixed: 355367 - Textbox onchange doesn't fire if user tabs out and value changed in onkeydown.

Fixed: 379349 - Multi-page overflow content takes up space.
Fixed: 386154 - Effective TLD service uses too much memory.
Fixed: 319455 - Expire Places annotations.
Fixed: 388403 - Update to NSS 3.12.
Fixed: 352762 - [Windows Vista] XPInstall permission problems.
Fixed: 368587 - [Windows Vista] Avoid the second UAC prompt for helper.exe on software update by launching it directly from the elevated updater.exe process.

Fixes for recent regressions:

Fixed: 387691 - Don't ship <link> from the body to the head.
Fixed: 387499 - Keys (Up/Down/any character) no longer working in collapsed XUL combo boxes.
Fixed: 388280 - "Show (blocked popup-URL)" does not work.
Fixed: 387264 - JavaScript bookmarklets work from sidebar but not from Bookmarks menu.
Fixed: 369882 - Vertically centered elements sit 1px too low (Firefox tabs, urlbar favicon).
Fixed: 385168 - Changing input locale leads to sticky ALT key.
Fixed: 388317 - Autocomplete and menulist popups should not be styled as native menus.
Fixed: 385853 - Getting the quit prompt when restarting firefox after apply software update.
Fixed: 385425 - Getting the quit prompt when restarting firefox after installing an add on.
Fixed: 373500 - Generated titles (microsummaries) are not used in tree and menu places views.
Fixed: 389428 - Crash [@ gfxTextRun::CompressedGlyph::IsClusterStart] in nsTextFrame::Reflow (fixed by backing out the fix for 385270).

With all the large changes that landed last Wednesday and Thursday, there were quite a few nasty regressions, but most of them have already been fixed.

Trunk regressions:

Since July 24: 390451 - Remembered passwords lost when changing Master Password.
