This Week In Servo 8

In the last week, we merged 39 pull requests.

Notable additions

• Keegan integrated html5ever into Servo! Yay! This moves us from using bindings to libhubbub to our own HTML parser written in Rust. See here for more details and discussion.
• Glenn added @media query support.
• Patrick rewrote some of the code for intrinsic widths and table layout to match the in-progress spec
• Mukilan added setTimeout()/setInterval() support to workers
• Martin gave individual layers the ability to render their own background
• Patrick optimized our handling of font-style
