Current Status - Posted on 2010-05-10
Done:
Working on bugs/enhancement requests on the topfails website.
Tried [ unsuccessfully ] to create a backPort tracking application for changeset landings. The idea is to ask for a release branch and check if all the relevant landings on the branch are ported appropriately to all the current & active named-branches. Unfortunately, the logic of deciphering what are current active named branches on a given release is not trivial.

May 21st is my last working day with Mozilla.

Done:
- Fixed Ts regression by writing on shutdown. Relanded.
- Did some investigation on allHUDServiceTests.js ,I think that the issue is some timing problem (not really caused by startupcache).
- Got talos Ts numbers for scache + mozJSCmpLdr + xulPrototypeCache. Doesn't show any perf win, this is bad/confusing.
Next:
- Investigate talos Ts more, see why / if it differs from vlad / joelr's script which showed a perf win earlier.
- Do work on cache invalidation stuff, looks like mwu is really close to finishing his part. (bug 533038)
Heard this morning that make may not invalidate on OSX. zpao is filing the bug.
Find things to put in startupcache or take some beta blockers?

Bug 499904 - after exploring adding DBus handling directly into Fennec as part of the phone support component, I'm instead writing a small proxy utility that will intercept Maemo browser requests and use them to launch Fennec.

- Faster fast-startup component (need to do remote start checking/comm before XUL setup is done, if possible)
- Need to be able to inhibit pop-up windows for FastStartup to work cleanly. In other words, if the user isn't interacting with the browser, it shouldn't be trying to interact with them. Best current example of this is bug 516794 (the part where we complain at startup)
- jsfunfuzz on WinCE
