Servo 0.0.6 Released With Many Great Improvements

Servo 0.0.6 is out today to round out the month with many great improvements made in recent weeks to this Rust-based browser engine advancing with its servoshell implementation and many prospects around using it for embedded browser use cases.

Servo 0.0.6 ships with a variety of improvements and new features including:

- Partial support for lazy loading iframes.

- Support for @property rules.

- Support for "button command" and "button commandfor".

- Most of the Pointer Events API is now implemented.

- Servoshell now supports servo:config and the F5 key to reload web pages. Yep, servo:config allows setting configuration tunables nicely from the browser.


- Progress on performance and stability for Servoshell.

- Continued work on DevTools for Servo.

- Servo is now easier to build offline with the complete source tarball now included in each release.

- Images in Servo now rotate according to their EXIF metadata by default.

- Continued work on embedding support for Servo.
