0.8 Release Update – WiFi Scanning on Windows Mobile for Fennec

I have spent a considerable amount of time on my 0.8 release this weekend (I really need to catch up in a few other courses :S ). I’m still trying to get the WiFi scanning stuff working for Windows Mobile. I have corrected some bugs and in the process have introduced a new one. After some code rearranging my nsStringArray no longer seems to work right, I get a null pointer now (more specifically the impl structure inside nsVoidArray is null). I have followed the same logic as Doug in his win32 implementation here. However I have this null pointer problem now, I’m going to seek some help tomorrow when more people are alive on IRC. As a result I am redrafting my release expectations for my 0.8. I am dropping the Camera API for this iteration and plan to focus on getting a working WiFi scanner for Windows Mobile. This will leave me with two release cycles to do the Camera API and clean up any issues with the WiFi scanner. I have updated my WIP bug to include the latest version of my patch. If anyone can shed some light on this problem it would be appreciated.
