Gecko 1.9.1

- Check out Chris Jones’ post on a very raw demo of our ongoing multi-process browser work. This work completes Phase I, and we’re really excited to see such great progress so quickly.
- Last week, Andreas Gal, David Anderson, and David Mandelin were in Dublin for PLDI to present their paper Trace-based Just-in-Time Type Specialization for Dynamic Languages, which describes some of the guts of TraceMonkey, the new Javascript engine and a key feature of Firefox 3.5.
- Oh, and no new blockers holding the release. So far.
