The Servo project has issued their January 2026 development report that highlights all the interesting changes they made to this open-source browser layout engine last month. With Servo 0.0.5 they have landed many improvements to this engine and also continuing to enhance its ability to embed Servo inside other applications.
Some of the recent improvements to Servo include:
– Support for playing Ogg audio files via the audio HTML tag.
– Support for cursor-color, content: image, and other CSS features.
– Improved support for mixed content protections.
– Servo now leads other browsers in supporting new Web Cryptography algorithms in now supporting ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and improved AES-GCM support.
– Improved support for JavaScript module loading.
– Improved support for IndexedDB.
– A lot of work on text input fields support.
– Support for cross-compiling Servo using Microsoft Windows as the host.
– Various performance and stability enhancements.
