The Servo open-source browser engine project has published their monthly status update that covers all the improvements they made over the course of August. There’s been a lot of progress on this Rust-based browser engine that has a lot of potential particularly for embedded/CEF-like use-cases.
During the past month some of the Servo improvements to land included:
– Support for rendering inline SVG elements.
– Support for named grid line lines and areas.
– CSS font-variation-settings support.
– Servo’s developer tools now has a working network monitor panel.
– Upgrading JavaScript support to SpiderMonkey 140.
– Servo’s IndexedDB database implementation continues maturing.
– Servo’s document rendering loop is now throttled to 60 FPS.
– Servoshell can now display favicons of each top-level page in the tab bar.
More details on these changes via the Servo.org blog.
