这次升级会新增一些诱人的功能,撤销误关的tab(好像TM里面有这个功能),tab页面总览(像IE7里面的那样),Spell-As-You-Type功能尤为 attractive ,我的理解是一个辅助拼写的功能,就是你拼的时候浏览器也拼,应该是一个拼写提醒类似的功能,但目前只支持英文语言.
Get ready for some cool new features
such as Undo Close Tab, Tab Overflow, Extension Blacklisting and
Spell-As-You-Type. Take that IE 7!Alpha 1 Status
Features
- Places infrastructure (performance, stability, toolbar drag & drop)
- ben is porting bugs over to branch, plan to turn it on by default tomorrow
- ui is known to be annoying, but internals seem solid enough for a developer preview
- Undo Close Tab
- pushed to A2?
- Tab Overflow
- pushed to A2?
- Extension Blacklisting
- Extension Manager code reviewed. XUL / JavaScript code to be reviewed. Should land soon dependent on it getting reviewed. (mscott in queue to do reviews)
- going to implement darin's review comments
- Extension Dependencies
- landed, no regressions
- Search Plugin Format Changeover (with sherlock import)
- made some Sherlock fixes
- new patch to be posted today, will need review
- Spell-As-You-Type (english only)
- we are clear to ship en-US with the product
- all other dictionaries must be downloaded explicitly as XPIs, mscott maintains a list of these extensions (http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/dictionaries.html); these are the same dictionaries/problems that OpenOffice has. (cbeard: we can do better! ;-) perhaps we can license or buy dictionaries and release under a compatible license? rebron is going to dive into this. we should continue on the current path regardless.)
- started porting this to branch, to be finished today or tomorrow
- shouldn't need that much bake time before we make A1
- Instrumentation Infrastructure
- code landed on trunk and on branch
- nothing for it to talk to, still blocked on server-side & storage space
- in parallel, modifications are made on the client
- hope to test server by end of the month
- RSS parser
- SAX parser bug 315826 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315826) and dependencies finally got reviewed. Documented and almost ready to land. bug 325080 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325080) contains working RSS2/RSS1 parser w/ some Atom support. Need to cover more pathological cases and finish Atom. [-RS]
- RSS content detection (?)
- landed on trunk and branch
- there is another piece of work about how to resolve conflicts between multiple sniffers, but that can land in parallel
- with API there, some UI can be created when we detect that a page is a feed. Robert Sayer is interested in doing this.
