This week I kept chugging along at the widgets branch. The begining of the week I spent trying to get the windows port to build since I was basically replacing the entire build process. I also needed to rewrite my GTK/XULRunner focus fixing code in C++. I’m not sure exactly what went wrong, but when I added a second thread to the mix subclassing windows procedures gave me segfaults. I think it has to do with the python GIL, but I don’t really know why.
Right now I have code working on all platforms that displays a window with a web browser inside. Now I’m working on layout code, which mostly means coding vboxes/hboxes/alignments on cocoa.
Also this week I talked with you all and several people on IRC about different ways to make background tasks less noticable. I’m pretty excited to get that stuff into 1.5, seems like it’s not too much work and it could have a nice payoff in terms of user experience.
