Servo 0.5.0 ships with Linux ARM support, web fonts in SVG, and 488 commits

The open-source browser engine releases a major update with new platform binaries, web platform features, and real-world site compatibility improvements.

What to know

  • Servo 0.5.0 ships with 488 commits, adding Linux aarch64 binary support and expanding platform reach.
  • Major web platform features shipped include web fonts in SVG, multithreaded canvas, DOM text selection visibility, and new cryptographic and document APIs.
  • Security vulnerabilities in dependencies were patched and ANGLE graphics library updated for improved stability.
  • Real-world website compatibility improved significantly, with DuckDuckGo and Gumroad now rendering correctly after fixing SVG image preload bugs.

“Most of Gumroad, except for the landing page, did not render at all in v0.4.0, but as of v0.5.0, pages like the Discover page or this product page render almost perfectly.”
