This month in Servo: variable fonts, network tools, SVG


Servo’s biggest month by far, with everything from IndexedDB improvements to favicons in servoshell.

That's a lot of network requests.We’ve fixed a significant source of crashes in the engine: hit testing using outdated display lists ( issue #37932). By the time we do a hit test, the elements reported may not exist anymore, so we could trigger crashes by (for example) moving the mouse quickly over parts of the page that were rapidly changing. The IndexedDB implementation (gated behind dom_indexeddb_enabled) is progressing quickly (@arihant2math,@jdm,@rodion,@kkoyung,#28744,#38737,#38836,#38813,#38819,#38115,#38944,#38740,#38891,#38723,#38850,#38735), now reporting errors via IDBRequest interface and supporting autoincrement keys.
