Rego’s Everyday Life

On my way to Vancouver for TPAC 2022. Andreu Botella, Brian Kardell and Valerie Young from Igalia will be there too. Looking forward to all the meetings and discussions there.

Making wavy text decorations faster might seem not very important, but this will allow Chromium to share painting code of spelling errors (currently custom) and wavy text decorations (using CSS), which is useful to ship ::spelling-error and ::grammar-error highlight pseudos.

:has in now enabled by default in Chromium 105! 🎉 Great work Byungwoo Lee and others at Igalia. Big thanks to Eyeo for sponsoring the work.

Frédéric Wang is now talking about the status of MathML and plans for shipping it on Chromium in a breakout session of the Web Engines Hackfest.

On my way to A Coruña for a new onsite edition of the Web Engines Hackfest and some Igalia meetings during the whole week. Excited to meet again face to face with a bunch of people, some of them for the first time. 😄

All the merit goes to Alice Boxhall that wrote the original spec text. I simply rebased the PR and tweaked some minor details to get it landed. Thanks Anne van Kesteren and Domenic Denicola for the reviews.

And the intent-to-ship has been approved! 🥳 So Chromium will have :has() enabled by support really soon! 🎉 Joining WebKit where it’s already enabled since Safari 15.4. 🚀

BTW, Eric Meyer has done a nice small video (3.5 min) demoing this feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oEOKTVbIa4
