I’ve implemented a freetype font back end for Windows and Windows CE that we’ll be using for Fennec. This will allow Fennec to render international fonts we were previously incapable of handling.
There’s still plenty of work to do, but I can’t wait until we can benefit from Madhava’s upcoming small screen UI
Also, for any [...]

I found (and fixed) one of our bugs in the Windows Mobile font code. This makes things much better
88/100, not bad
Also note that I’m running this on an actual device, using Remote Zoomin to get the screen shot.

Just to update Doug’s post we’ve got the problem with web content not painting fixed.
Still have problems with fonts though.

Windows…. we got windows!
Its reasonably fast on the device too (just harder to get a screen shot). Some obvious font issues though. Stuart, tag… you’re it.

I want to run a debug build of fennec on my windows mobile emulator. I have been able to do this by “mounting” my object directory as a shared folder. Unfortunitely I’m seeing IO errors which I’ve read could be due to the way the emulator maps in the “storage card.”
So now I’m trying to [...]

Ryan Block, one of the Engadget editors, posted this editorial about Apple’s App Store.
As a developer who has downloaded the SDK and become frustrated, “Amen.” As an iPhone user frustrated by the lack of truely useful 3rd software available, “Please…pretty please. Don’t make me switch to T-mobile and buy an Android phone.”

I spoke with Jaya Kumar today about his e-paper device and running fennec on it. He recently presented his work at the linux plumbers conference. Essentially this is an gumstix device with an e-paper display.
The device he showed me had to be controled remotely with a mouse. In his bag he had a new [...]

Earlier this month I spent some time working on exposing camera functionality to content in fennec and firefox. First, I built upon Chris Double’s implementation of a GStreamer back end for the video tag and extended it to support a “camera://” protocol. When the video tag encounters this, it creates a GStreamer pipeline starting [...]

I’ve been working on optimizing scrolling/panning in general and kinetic scrolling specifically lately and just wanted to share a video of what I’ve got so far.

We continue to make significant progress towards Windows Mobile being a viable platform for Mobile Firefox. In the move from the 1.8 code base (Minimo) to the 1.9 code base (Fennec) we’re making substantial changes to how we run on Windows Mobile.
The first such major change is to reduce our shunt layer [...]
