The Servo open-source web engine is out with its February 2025 status update to highlight work on the engine itself as well as its demo browser and embed API capabilities for using Servo by other applications.
Servo over February picked up more HTML and CSS features such as for the details, meter, and progress elements. There is also better support for the overflow property along with the quotes and isolation properties. In addition, Servo has picked up more web API features.
The Servoshell example web browser has also added directory listing support for local files:
Servoshell dialogs now egul for displaying.
The Servo embed capabilities have also continued to grow while simplifying the API.
Last but not least there has been more performance tuning work on Servo along with reducing the memory usage by about 1% and avoiding high CPU usage spikes when browsing some websites.
