Release Of Browser Engine Servo 0.0.2

Published release of the browser engine Servo 0.0.2 and the demo browser developed with it ServoShell, written in the Rust language. In terms of functionality, the release is similar to the nightly build of November 14, for which additional manual testing was carried out. Ready-made builds provided for Linux, Android, macOS and Windows.

The engine was originally developed by Mozilla, but then came under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. Servo is distinguished by its support for multi-threaded rendering of web pages, parallelization of operations with the DOM (Document Object Model) and the use of safe programming mechanisms provided by the Rust language. Servo is natively designed to support breaking DOM and rendering code into smaller subtasks that can run in parallel and make more efficient use of multi-core CPU resources. Firefox already integrates some parts of Servo, such as the multi-threaded CSS engine and the WebRender rendering system.

Main changes:

• Support for XPath (XML Path Language), AbortController and AbortSignal.
• Added API CompressionStream and DecompressionStream for compressing and decompressing data streams.
• Added support for an element inside the
• blocks Implemented methods href=”https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetchLater_API”>fetchLater() and Document.parseHTMLUnsafe().
• In the event UIEvent implemented the properties “which” and “relatedTarget“.
• The API HTMLMapElement implements the properties “name” and “bareas“.
• Synthetic bold character style is implemented in the rendering engine (synthetic bold), in which characters are thickened programmatically without using a separate font style.
• Added vsync support to synchronize the start of rendering with the frame damping pulse.
