Gecko is the core of Firefox; Gecko 1.9a1 will be developed for the Firefox 3.0 alphas and beta then onto the Firefox 3.0 release. This graph is to show the number of bugs either fixed, blocking or nominated to block the Gecko 1.9a1 (Firefox 3.0 alpha) release. Gecko 1.9a1 is currently scheduled for release late 2006/early 2007. The links below are queries showing the bugs that block, requesting to block or fixed for Gecko 1.9a1. I will update the graph once a day to show the progress of each day.

Queries used:

Bugs accepted to block 1.9a1
Bugs nominated to block 1.9a1
Fixed 1.9a1 Blockers

per 20061124:
Bugs ? 1.9a1 = 29
Bugs + 1.9a1 = 23
Bugs ? 1.9a2 = 9
Bugs + 1.9a2 = 2

Firefox 2.0.0.1 bugs fixed=128

Gecko 1.9 Alpha 1 introduces several new features which can be tested by using Gran Paradiso Alpha 1:

• Cairo is now being used as the default graphics library, affecting all graphic and text rendering
• Cocoa Widgets are now used in OS X builds
• An updated threading model
• Changes to how DOM events are dispatched (see bug 234455)
• Changes to how elements are loaded (see bug 1156)
• Changes to how web pages are painted
• New SVG elements and filters, and improved SVG specification compliance

Some of the changes in Gecko 1.9 Alpha 1 will affect the web and platform compatibiltity of Gran Paradiso Alpha 1:

• Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME are no longer supported platforms
• OS X 10.2 is no longer supported, and OS X 10.3.9 or better is recommended
• Moving DOM nodes between documents now requires a call to importNode or adoptNode as per the DOM specification.
