[webkit-dev] Intent to Enable CSS Exclusions in Nightlies

[Bear Travis]

Got it.

The goal here is to enable users to test the CSS Exclusions and Shapes feature in the WebKit nightlies. I'm fine with whatever path can best make that happen.

The feature currently has both a compile-time [1] and a runtime flag [2]. My initial plan was to change the runtime flag default to true, so any platforms that have the compile flag set will enable the feature by default.

The change would not affect any platforms that do not enable the feature via the compile flag (for example, it is currently turned off for Windows builds). Does that sound reasonable?

The only platform for which nightly builds are produced is OS X. Do you intend to enable it for all platforms on tip of tree, or just for those from which nightly builds are built?

What I'm getting at is that I'm confused as to why you mentioned nightly builds at all in your initial email if you're enabling it for all platforms.

Hi Mark,

Yes, my understanding of the policy [1] was that this was done at tip of tree.

Hi WebKit,

The CSS Exclusions & Shapes [1] feature is currently behind a runtime flag that I would like to enable by default in the WebKit nightlies.

Can you clarify what it means to enable something by default in "the WebKit nightlies”? Do you mean enabling it by default on tip of tree?
