The Rust-based, open-source Servo web engine had a very eventful month as the developers involved continue advancing this browser engine as well as their example/reference web browser.

The Servo project is out with their August 2024 status update. Some of the highlights for the month include:

- Servo now supports playing WAV audio files.

- Servo is now making use of the SpiderMonkey 128 JavaScript engine.

- WebGPU and Flexbox are now enabled by default.

- The WebXR API support has been improved, including support for gamepads.

- Many crash bugs have been resolved.

- The Servo browser example has a redesigned toolbar and support for tabbed browsing. Here's the Servo project's screenshot of their current browser state:
