MozCC Development

MozCC is written using Javascript and XUL. The source repository is hosted in the cctools project at SourceForge.net in the mozcc2 module.

Planned Features

MozCC 2.4.x

(may get rolled into 2.6)

• Support for Flock (post 0.7.x)

MozCC 2.6

• Restructure code to wrap all the functionality in a single object (to prevent namespace collisions)
• Support for licensing of embedded objects (images, etc).
• Support for i18n
