Performance win for DHTML and possibly other areas
Just trying to catch up on some of the nice stuff thats going on in the Mozilla project:
David Bradley writes:
Bug 213813 contains a patch that has been reported to significantly increase DHTML performance. You can read the details in the patch. The patch should speed up any case where JavaScript makes repeated calls to relatively inexpensive native methods on objects. Especially complex objects with many methods and/or interfaces. The patch isn't final yet. Some research needs to be done to see what the optimal cache settings are. If anyone can try out the patch and report back, it would be much appreciated. A link to the modified release version XPConnect dll for Windows is available in bug 212831 for Windows users that might want to try this out without having to rebuild things.
AOL Unleashes Final Communicator
America Online has publicly released the final version of AOL Communicator, its new unified client featuring e-mail, an address book, and real time communications. Although Communicator compliments AOL 9 and AOL for Broadband, its underpinnings are drawn from another source - the Gecko browsing engine and XUL user interface language found in Mozilla.
A nice checkin:
Add additional headers to every msg

It does not use xul, but does use gecko. Old news.

No, AOL Communicator is not based on XUL but on wxWindows.
