Servo Browser Engine Seeing Progress On FreeBSD Support

([BSD] 8 Minutes Ago Servo + FreeBSD)


Following the recent [1]Servo 0.1 release , the Servo project has published their latest monthly status report to highlight recent development efforts around this modern open-source browser engine.

Some of the new web platform features now in place for Servo include supporting the input HTML element with the "range" type, the width and height attributes on SVG tags, and various new CSS features as well as new DOM APIs.

Servo's demo browser, the Servo Shell, is now installed with a binary name of servoshell or servoshell.exe on Windows, rather than just servo as was the case up until now.

There has also been work around building the Sero browser engine on FreeBSD:

The current Servo 0.1 release still has some FreeBSD build issues but a few issues remain in the latest development code that still need to be sorted out. Those Servo on FreeBSD details can be found via [2]GitHub .

Servo developers have also been continuing the effort to make Servo more embed-friendly and more viable as an alternative to the Chromium Embedded Framework by application developers. Additionally, Servo has seen work to make its new Crates.io releases possible.

More details on these recent Servo browser engine improvements via the [3]Servo.org blog .
