This Week In Servo 62

2016-05-09 What's up with Servo for the week of 02 May 2016 - 09 May 2016

In the last week, we landed 133 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories.

Our overall roadmap and quarterly goals are available online.

This week’s status updates are here.

autrilla changed our build driver script, mach, to display more information when there is a virtualenv or python failure

glennw switched the Android build to officially use OpenGL ES3 now that the corresponding WebRender support landed
heycam added support for text-transform in geckolib
mmatyas upgraded Cargo, to pick up much better support for per-target build configurations
