Servo Web Engine Now Passing Acid2 Layout Engine Test

([Free Software] 6 Hours Ago Servo + Acid2)


The Servo web engine developers have enjoyed a busy April with a number of new features added to this Rust creation.

Months after passing the Acid1 layout engine test, Servo now can successfully pass the Acid2 layout test! As of earlier this month, Servo successfully handles the Acid2 test.

As outlined on the Servo blog, Servo has picked up various new features like object tags with image data URLs, "ex" units within CSS, and more. Servo can now support non-autoplay HTML5 video tags as long as the page provides its own controls.

Additionally, Servo continues making progress on being embed-friendly and allowing this web engine to be nicely embedded within other applications. KDAB for example has been working on [1]embedding Servo within Qt software .

Over on the [2]Servo.org blog is a lengthy write-up about all of the new features tackled in April for the Servo web engine.

The Worst Jury
A murder trial at Manitoba in February 1978 was well advanced, when
one juror revealed that he was completely deaf and did not have the
remotest clue what was happening.
The judge, Mr. Justice Solomon, asked him if he had heard any
evidence at all and, when there was no reply, dismissed him.
The excitement which this caused was only equalled when a second
juror revealed that he spoke not a word of English. A fluent French
speaker, he exhibited great surprised when told, after two days, that he
was hearing a murder trial.
The trial was abandoned when a third juror said that he suffered
from both conditions, being simultaneously unversed in the English language
and nearly as deaf as the first juror.
The judge ordered a retrial.
