• Patrick fixed the hypothetical box behavior for position:absolute elements with display:inline
• Tim Taubert added support for wildcard namespace selectors for attributes
• Manish purged Traceable and Untraceable since we can now directly implement JSTraceable. Types can be marked as untraceable using the untraceable! macro.
• Gilles added namespace support to HTML*Element::new(), fixing createElementNS()
• Ms2ger replaced page.fragment_node with page.fragment_name
• Simon added better handling of runtime-loaded files and used it to load the user agent CSS at runtime. Cargo can create binaries in different locations depending on the type of build, this lets us load resources at runtime without needing to repeatedly deal with this.
