Servo Engine Lands Support For Rendering Inline SVG Elements, More Performance

([Free Software] 2 Hours Ago Servo)


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 [1]Servo.org blog .

O! Wanderers in the shadowed land
despair not! For though dark they stand,
all woods there be must end at last,
and see the open sun go past:
the setting sun, the rising sun,
the day's end, or the day begun.
For east or west all woods must fail ...
-- J. R. R. Tolkien
