Inspector Milestone 0.5 Preview
This week I put some more finishing touches on the Style Panel patch and the DOM Panel, which should be ready for landing this week to squeak into the first Beta of Firefox 4. While doing that, I rebased my patches for the new tree panel and fired off a try build for you to play with.
Grab it here: Inspector Milestone 0.5 Preview.
Other work that’s moving along nicely:
- Neil Deakin’s ongoing improvements to XUL Panels.
- David Dahl’s work on the Heads Up Display
- Firefox 4 Theme work is beginning to land
… Just to name a few.
We also picked up some help from some members of the Bespin team this week. We’re still figuring out what people are going to work on, but it looks like Julian Vierick is going to do some Inspector<->Console cross connection stuff with the DOM Panel. And maybe, just maybe, Joe Walker is going to help me make the Inspector look pretty. I am hopeful.
Give the preview a try and let me know what you think. Feel free to file bugs in Firefox::Devtools.
Update: After the rebasing, I’ve cloned another user repo for ongoing work. It’s too much of a pain to reintegrate patches from a point in time and merge everything together in a way that won’t mung up a future extraction. And cloning is cheap. If anyone has a good idea of how to “applepick” in hg, I’d love to hear it.
