Servo 0.2 Released With Revamped Android Browser UI

([Free Software] 5 Hours Ago Servo 0.2)


For ending out the month of May is a new monthly release of Servo, the open-source, Rust-based browser engine being developed by Linux Foundation Europe stakeholders and the open-source community. There are many nice enhancements on the desktop side with Servo 0.2 while also improving the Android browser UI experience with Servo too.

The Servoshell demo browser app for Android has been overhauled with a new history view, a 30% smaller APK file, and other improvements to the Android UI. Servoshell on the desktop has also seen a variety of improvements too.

Servo 0.2 has also added support for new web features such as the HTML select tag with the multiple attribute, various CSS features, and a number of new DOM APIs. Servo also now better supports the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.

The experimental mode of Servoshell is also now enabling IndexedDB and Servo's new client storage system.

More details on them any wonderful improvements to the Servo engine over the past month can be found via the [1]Servo.org blog . Servo 0.2 source code and pre-built binaries can be found on [2]GitHub .

"The argument that the literal story of Genesis can qualify as science
collapses on three major grounds: the creationists' need to invoke
miracles in order to compress the events of the earth's history into
the biblical span of a few thousand years; their unwillingness to
abandon claims clearly disproved, including the assertion that all
fossils are products of Noah's flood; and their reliance upon distortion,
misquote, half-quote, and citation out of context to characterize the
ideas of their opponents."
-- Stephen Jay Gould, "The Verdict on Creationism",
