TTT talks

What’s cooking

  • Regina

    • finished HSL color interpolation, currently review Armin’s SmartArt patches

    • Mike K helped with a build failure around CODA-W, in progress

  • Miklos

  • Szymon

    • finally the work from Gokay is merged, gets rid of the lat/lng coordinate system

    • working on editeng content as HTML contenteditable

  • Stephan

    • Google Apps Script-inspired extension API

  • Noel

    • 2 patches are pushed today Basic / Python

  • Caolan

    • some jail-setup landlock related work

      • to run cypress tests under this feature without failure

    • some efforts towards a faster windows build

      • make 4.4.1 installed on builders now

      • build nss with its other option of gyp-next which is more parallel than the recursive make alt, hopefully get to later stages faster

      • add --disable-dependency-tracking to externals and equivalent to icu

      • ninja can share/use a parent make jobserver, so externals using that can stay inside the overall make’s job server limits. Done for e.g. harfbuzz, cairo, pixman

      • 37 mins → 20something mins

  • Andras

    • **Remove Tools – Options dialog **

      • the goal is to remove UI that COOL/CODA do not use, reduce the code + translatable strings – more to come

    • Keychain access on macOS / CODA-M for document signing (still using NSS)

    • Other, smaller fixes
