Fixes:

Fixed: 67127 - Newline in tooltips (title attribute) converted to black bars. (Patch info)

Fixed: 268590 - Allow multiple messages in browsermessage (information bar).
Fixed: 334400 - Create SVG transform list lazily.

Fixed: 310137 - [Linux] Crash when using typedown in GTK2 File Picker. (Change minimum GTK2 filepicker version from 2.4.0 to 2.6.3, so Gecko uses its own filepicker with broken GTK2 versions.)

Examples of bugs fixed by the nsCaret overhaul:

There's an interesting thread on mozilla.dev.planning titled Scheduling a trunk alpha. With all the large changes for Gecko 1.9 and lack of alphas so far, there is concern that there aren't enough people testing trunk builds to find regressions quickly. Issues discussed in the thread include the frequency and naming of trunk alphas, milestones, or "known-good nightlies". If you're interested but don't want to read the entire thread, start with fantasai's summary. I'm curious what Burning Edge readers think of the various proposals.
