For the accelerated backend work, it's pretty much orthogonal to Moz 2 work -- if it's done, we'll take it, if not, we'll take it when it's done. That is, it's a nice to have, but we wouldn't block a Moz 2 release on it. glitz is pretty much unowned at the moment, and I don’t think it’ll be picked up — it seems to do what David originally designed it for (and I believe is still being used in some of the X-on-opengl work), but there’s been no maintainer for the glitz backend for cairo for a while.

Question: will those accelerated backends based on OpenGL and Direct3D make it in time for Moz2/Gecko2/Firefox4? (since the Mozilla wiki pages on Mozilla2 mention hardware accelarated gfx) -Matthias Hi Vlad,

That’s great news.

Vlad seems to feel that Cairo is really starting to come into its own after being in development for so long. (Mozilla has been working with cairo for so long that it’s important to remember where it was when we started.) There’s some good stuff in here for Linux folks too. Soren has been doing a lot of good work on pixman and Mozilla has been investing in improving upstream cairo performance (some of the MMX work is funded by us) in order to help Linux and our mobile efforts. All good stuff. [...] [...] Cairo 1.6, Quartz, and Gecko Vlad talks about the work that he’s been putting into Cairo to make Quartz a first class citizen, including support for the iPhone.

I believe Epiphany (and maybe also Konqueror?) will be using Webkit with Cairo. It somehow feels good for both Webkit and Gecko to be using the same graphics layer. Perhaps in the future Webkit and Gecko will be able to share even more. The recent work on getting Webkit to use Cairo as its backend is really exciting.
