In the past two weeks, we merged 100 pull requests

Lars and Mike wrote a blog post on Servo on the Samsung OSG blog

Notable additions

• Diego started off our WebGL implementation
• Patrick improved scrolling performance
• Guro Bokum added timeline support to our Firefox devtools implementation
• Mátyás added support for rectangles, lineCap / lineJoin, global compositing/blending, clipping path and save/restore for canvas
• Ms2ger added support for Servo-specific wpt tests, the replacement for our contenttest suite, which was removed
• Josh implemented child reparenting and node removal
• Joe Seaton extended CSS animation support to most CSS properties
• Patrick tweaked block size computation for height:auto elements with padding and layout of nested elements with different vertical-align
• Ms2ger added a JS runtime struct
• Anthony Ramine made another set of DOM changes
• Adenilson implemented CSS blur filter. Also implemented support for displaying the Firefox icon for broken image links as a follow up to loading a placeholder.
• Adenilson implemented dump of optimized display lists. Together with dumping of regular display lists, dumping of flowtree and reflow events, debugging layout bugs in servo became easier.
