This Week In Servo 19

This week, we merged 41 pull requests

We now support 100 CSS properties!

Notable additions

We landed another Rust upgrade. Next up: Rust 1.0 Alpha!

• Patrick implemented word-break, outline-offset, text-rendering, and filter
• Tom implemented most of the important WindowProxy traps
• Ms2ger turned off the usage of unsafe in script aside from a couple of allowed areas
• Edit connected the Canvas render task to layout. Simple canvases now work.

New contributors

• Arpad Borsos
• Ashish Sharma
• Guillaume Bort

Screenshots

Servo’s first SVG! (pull request)

We also have working certificate checking in Servo, you can try it on this branch. The current certificate file only has a single Equifax certificate (so Google will work, but not Wikipedia; this is great for testing), however replacing resources/certs with resources/fullcerts should get you a full set of root CA certificates.

Meeting

Minutes

• Simon has refactored the parser to be fully incremental and will be updating style code to it soon
• We had some memory corruption issues (with mucell, perhaps?) during the Rust upgrade
