Overview

Details

Ship CSS containment to beta

Owner(s):leviw Score:0.60

Editor’s Draft https://drafts.csswg.org/css-containment/ [mid quarter] On track, intent to implement has been sent. Patch up for review. [end of quarter] CSS and Paint containment implemented and available as experimental web platform features. We're further along implementation wise than expected however behind on shipping as CSS contain has yet to ship to beta.

Smooth scrolling for wheel and keyboard scrolls in Win/Linux enabled on trunk

Owner(s):skobes, ymalik Score:1.00

https://crbug.com/575 [mid quarter] On track, looking good. [end of quarter] Enabled on trunk in time for the M49 branch.

Intersection observer on trunk

Owner(s):szager Score:0.95

[mid quarter] On track, harder and more time consuming than estimated. [end of quarter] More work and much harder than originally estimated. Implementation has been ready for over a month but delayed due to difficulties in getting it reviewed and difficulties around agreeing on a memory model that'll make sense in a post oil-pan world. Work completed about ten days after the end of quarter.

Owner(s):drott Score:1.00

[mid quarter] On track. [end of quarter] Memory instrumentation added for key font metrics.

Have fullscreen implementation not modify layout tree

Owner(s):bokan Score:0.00

[mid quarter] De-staffed. At risk. [end of quarter] De-staffed as bokan wasn't available to layout-dev to work on fullscreen or layout in general. Needs new owner.

Have flexbox match latest version of spec

Owner(s):cbiesinger Score:0.80

[mid quarter] On track. [end of quarter] ?

Work with other vendors to nail down Custom Layout API

Owner(s):ikilpatrick Score:0.90

[mid quarter] On track. [end of quarter] Several meetings and discussions with other vendors., Have broad consensus and expect us to be able to spec it in Sydney.

Support Blink/Android hyphen design work

Owner(s):szager Score:1.00

[mid quarter] On track. [end of quarter] Sufficient support for design work provided. drott/szager up to speed.

Replace flexbox tests with W3C ones

Unprefix CSS Writing modes

Owner(s):kojii Score:0.70

[mid quarter] On track. [end of quarter]

CSS font-feature-settings

Owner(s):kojii Score:0.00

[mid quarter] At risk. [end of quarter] ?

Have root layer scrolling pass all unit tests

Owner(s):skobes, szager Score:0.50

[mid quarter] De-emphasized to focus on intersection observer. Still making solid progress though. [end of quarter] Some progress, but less than expected due to Stefan being pulled of to do Intersection Observer. Steve fixed at least one of the unit tests and a few of the layout tests, and added infrastructure for tracking future progress on the layout tests via flag-specific expectations.

Have prototype of ruby on top of custom layout [kojii, houdini-dev]

Owner(s):blink-houdini, kojii Score:1.00

[mid quarter] Rough prototype exists, needs further work. [end of quarter] Two independent prototypes created using slightly different APIs. Successfully demonstrated that it is viable to re-implement ruby on top of a custom layout API. Neither are production ready and both depend on a polyfil, as planned.

Remove simple text

Owner(s):eae, drott Score:0.90

[mid quarter] Always use complex text enabled on trunk. Plan is to remove code for M50. [end of quarter] Harder than anticipated due to a number of compatibility and perf issues, most severe being a perf regression in Mac AAT backend due to n squared font fallback which took awhile to resolve. Patch to remove simple text uploaded and approved. Will commit as soon as M49 has been branched. Missing end of Q4 goal by two weeks.

Ship improved font fallback to stable

Owner(s):drott Score:0.75

[mid quarter] Shipped to beta. On track. [end of quarter] In 48 which goes to stable in Jan 26. Missing end of Q4 goal by one month.
