Update on what happened in WebKit in the week from November 10 to November 17.
This week's update is composed of a new CStringView internal API, more MathML progress with the implementation of the "scriptlevel" attribute, the removal of the Flatpak-based SDK, and the maintanance update of WPEBackend-fdo.
Cross-Port 🐱
Implement the MathML scriptlevel attribute using math-depth.
Finished implementing CStringView, which is a wrapper around UTF8 C strings. It allows you to recover the string without making any copies and perform string operations safely by taking into account the encoding at compile time.
Releases 📦️
WPEBackend-fdo 1.16.1 has been released. This is a maintenance update which adds compatibility with newer Mesa versions.
Infrastructure 🏗️
Most of the Flatpak-based SDK was removed. Developers are warmly encouraged to use the new SDK for their contributions to the Linux ports, this SDK has been successfully deployed on EWS and post-commits bots.
That’s all for this week!
