Status update
Sadly, I missed the the Mozilla Corp All-Hands last week in Mountain View, due to a nasty flu bug (bad timing, I know). But I hear it was pretty awesome - photos here. See everyone next time!
Tab matches in Awesomebar
Status
- Various UI bugs fixed
- Discussion on improving the UI further
- Fixed bitrot from changes made in bug 527311 (that was a "fun" merge)
- Made some toolkit code less specific to just tab-matches
- Unit tests (and debugging existing tests - caught some weird behavior)
Loose ends
- UI still not finalized. Might need to land on trunk and tweak UI in followup bugs (assuming review goes smoothly¹)
Next steps
- UI adjustments
- Finish tweaking matching code
- Review
Target for next week
- Make tab-matching dependent on autocompletesearchparam attribute (current it's a global pref)
- Some small changes to matching behavior (some assumptions changed after seeing some tests fail)
- More UI tweaking/experimentation
- Code review (regardless of whether UI is finalized or not)
Miscellaneous
- Fixed about:jetpack on trunk (bug 534384), awaiting review
- Finally got a patch up for bug 397937 (view-source for safebrowsing blocked pages), awaiting review
Reflections
- Missing an All-Hands due to sickness sucks.
- My co-workers rock - they somehow manage to look out for me when I'm sick, even from the other side of the world. Thanks guys :)
- Teaching is the greatest way to learn
¹ That's not a completely unrealistic expectation, right? RIGHT?
