What is left to land these patches, and whom do you need help from to get these finished?
I’m fine with freezing these interfaces if it’s for a week or so, but during the last few weeks this change has uncovered some pretty big holes in Cargo, the WPT tests, our CI configuration, etc. I guess I’m primarily curious if you have a sense for how long it will take to get this landed and whether there’s anything we or the Rust team can do to speed things along. - Lars On Jul 24, 2015, at 11:03 PM, Patrick Walton <pwal...@mozilla.com> wrote: Oh, I forgot to mention 2D canvas and WebGL. This implies a moratorium on all new canvas or WebGL functionality.
