1.9.3alpha2 soon
Benjamin Smedberg
out-of-process plugins on by default. The following bugs should be resolved
today or early tomorrow:
* bug 532208 - make browser->plugin streams unidirectional
* bug 545734 - hide the iframe used to submit plugin crash reports
* bug 547894 - topcrash with DivX passing null to a string function
* bug 544074 - topcrash at PluginModuleChild::UnregisterActorForNPObject
The only other bug which I know needs to block the current alpha is bug
545195, a mysterious topcrash on shutdown. bent is investigating, trying to
catch this crash in record-and-replay.
When these fixes are finished I will inform releng of the changeset to spin
alpha2. If there are any other bugs which you believe should block this
alpha, please email me directly (no complicated bug flags here!).
Also, please avoid landing large/scary patches into mozilla-central until
alpha2 has shipped.

Not sure it should block the alpha, but I'm wondering given the
headaches that Silverlight has created, if Silverlight should be
blocklisted in OOPP.

Silverlight has found a pile of good OOPP bugs for us already, so I
think we should leave it on.
To what headaches do you refer, specifically?

likely a dup of 545219 above.

A couple notes on these -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542831 hang/freeze
This has two bugs reported in it, bug 532208, which currently blocks
the next alpha, and the initial report related to load issues on the
Silverlight Showcase page. Nothing is hanging, the showcase is
controlled by script in the page, which doesn't initialize properly.
Since this is specific to a particular web page, it's currently not
blocking the alpha.

warning works ok without warning with OOPP off
Another bug related to load issues on the Silverlight Showcase page.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547353 Mouse pointer off
Currently looking at this, it's windowless silverlight only. We should
have this fixed soon.

Basically another dupe of bug 542831. The showcase is pretty messed up
right now, but windowed and windowless silverlight generally tend to
work pretty well at this point.
