Servo 0.4.0 lands 558 commits, SpiderMonkey security updates, and a fix for XSS in file:/// directory listings
- Sources: primary, discussion
- Summary: Servo 0.4.0 includes 558 commits, security updates to SpiderMonkey, and a fix for cross-site scripting in
file:///directory listings. The same post covers design work on a wrapper C API for embedding. - Why it matters: The C API work is the change that matters for anyone evaluating Servo as an embedded engine, because Rust has no stable ABI and embedding has so far required building Servo from source.
