It was to much surprise waking up this morning and seeing the Servo 0.0.1 release for this Rust-based web layout engine that began as a Mozilla project and is now being developed independently via Linux Foundation Europe and other parties.
Servo v0.0.1 was tagged in Git today as a rare tagged release for this web layout engine. Servo has been quite active in recent years with its Servo shell demo browser and working toward promising embedded web capabilities so that Servo can be easily used by various applications.
No Servo 0.0.1 release announcement has been published but the few details on GitHub describe it as the latest nightly snapshot with additional manual testing of the release artifacts. It also marks their first release providing pre-built ARM macOS binaries.
The binaries — including for Linux — provide builds of the basic web browser shell as shown.
Those wanting to grab Servo 0.0.1 can find it on Servo’s GitHub.
