The Servo web engine project has put out a new blog post that outlines all of their accomplishments made during the course of February.

It's been a busy past few weeks for the Rust-written Servo web layout engine. Some of the February accomplishments for this renewed open-source project include:

- Servo is now surpassing its legacy layout engine in the entire CSS test suite.

- Support for SVG with the "image/svg+xml" MIME type.

- Support for (non-XR) game controllers with the Gamepad API.

- Basic support for the CSS text-transform property.

- Basic support for font fallback.

- Much better support for Servo's experimental support for HTML tables.

- Windows containing videos will no longer crash when closed and auto-play is also now supported.

- Many CSS bug fixes.

- Continuing to enhance the ability for embedding the Servo web engine into other applications.

- As of this week with the latest code changes, the classic Space Jam website can now render correctly:
