This looks good to me in general -- for Gecko, this combined with offscreen
canvas and canvas/webgl in workers is going to be the best way to get
performant WebGL-based VR. This is likely going to be the better way to
solve the custom-vsync for VR issue; while the large patch queue that I

Hi all,
I wrote some tools a while back intended to make it possible to do complex
crash stats queries locally, using downloaded crash stats data. It can do
queries using a mongodb-like query language; even based on functions (running a
function on each crash to decide whether it should be inc

The spec is still a draft, and the API is expected to

Hi all,
We've had a lot of excitement around our VR efforts and the MozVR site, and we
want to capitalize on this momentum. Very soon, I'll be landing the early
support code for VR in mozilla-central, pref'd off by default. This includes
adding the core VR interfaces, display item and layers

I'm about to land bug 1046222, which changes the default behaviour of
XPCOM_DEBUG_BREAK on Windows to "warn", instead of "trap". If run under the
debugger, "trap" will cause the debugger to stop as if it hit a breakpoint in
debug builds.
This would be useful behaviour if we didn't still have a

not further until the functionality and standards were firmer.

Hey all,
I have a prototype of VR display and sensor integration with the web, along
with an implementation for the Oculus VR. Despite there really being only one
vendor right now, there is a lot of interest in VR. I'd like to add the web

I just did a unified and non-unified build on my windows desktop -- non SSD.
VS2012, using mozmake. Full clobber. (mozmake -s -j8)
Unified: 20 min
Non-Unified: 36 min
This is huge! I was curious about the cost for incremental builds...
