Will’s Miro dev blog

This week was an ok bug-fixing week. I worked on:

• Bug 9644: implemented a preference allowing you to switch between renderers on GTKX11–it’s not great, but it’s good enough (probably).
• Bug 3067: applied a patch for suspending the screensaver when playing video in fullscreen on GTKX11… then I found a couple of problems with it and backed it out today.
• Fixed a bunch of other bugs related to gstreamer renderer, ff/rew, revver, mefeedia, …
• Worked on bug 9214 where if you click on the delete link when viewing a video in fullscreen on GTKX11, then you’re stuck in fullscreen. I worked on it for a couple of days and ended up giving up today.
• Sent out a proposed tentative release schedule for Miro 1.2 to the develop mailing list.
• Helped with some of the initial GSoC preparation.

Next week I’m going to:

• Bug 9692. Check out Fabien’s patches for Ubuntu that get Miro to work with xulrunner 1.9.
• Bug 9691. Look into Miro compiling with gcc 4.3. Uwe said something that suggested that gcc 4.3 on Debian is imminent. So… this needs to be figured out.
• Continue to shepherd Miro 1.2 until it’s out the door.

Busy busy busy….
