If you're reading this, you did a good job surviving another month, and that means we've got another monthly update from the Servo project, the Rust-based browser engine originally started by Mozilla. The major new feature this month is tabbed browsing in the Servo example browser, as well as extensive improvements for Servo on Windows.

Servo-the-browsernow has aredesigned toolbar andtabbed browsing! This includes a slicknew tab page, taking advantage of a new API that lets Servo embedders registercustom protocol handlers.

Servo now runs better on Windows, with keyboard navigation now fixed,--outputto PNG also fixed, and fixes for some font- and GPU-related bugs, which were causing misaligned glyphs with incorrect colors on servo.org and duckduckgo.com, and corrupted images on wikipedia.org.

Of course, that's not at all, as there's also the usual massive list of improved standards support, new APIs, improvements to some of the developer tools (including massive improvements in Windows build times), and a huge number of fixed bugs.
