Update on what happened in WebKit in the week from October 13 to October 20.
This week was calmer than previous week but we still had some meaningful updates. We had a Selenium update, improvements to how tile sizes are calculated, and a new Igalian in the list of WebKit committer!
Cross-Port 🐱
Selenium's relative locators are now supported after commit 301445@main. Before, finding elements with locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "input").above({By.ID: "password"}) could lead to "Unsupported locator strategy" errors.
Graphics 🖼️
A patch landed to compute the layers tile size, using a different strategy depending on whether GPU rendering is enabled, which improved the performance for both GPU and CPU rendering modes.
Community & Events 🤝
Our coworker Philip Chimento gained WebKit committer status!
That’s all for this week!
