Servo 0.0.6 is out today to round out the month with many great improvements made in recent weeks to this Rust-based browser engine advancing with its servoshell implementation and many prospects around using it for embedded browser use cases.
Servo 0.0.6 ships with a variety of improvements and new features including:
– Partial support for lazy loading iframes.
– Support for @property rules.
– Support for “button command” and “button commandfor”.
– Most of the Pointer Events API is now implemented.
– Servoshell now supports servo:config and the F5 key to reload web pages. Yep, servo:config allows setting configuration tunables nicely from the browser.
– Progress on performance and stability for Servoshell.
– Continued work on DevTools for Servo.
– Servo is now easier to build offline with the complete source tarball now included in each release.
– Images in Servo now rotate according to their EXIF metadata by default.
– Continued work on embedding support for Servo.
More details on these improvements to Servo via the Servo.org blog. Servo 0.0.6 sources and binaries can be downloaded via GitHub.
