Release highligts:

  • Added in-engine SVG rendering, WebP/APNG support, optional AVIF, and MPEG-1 video playback with play, pause and seeking.
  • Greatly improved HTML, CSS and JavaScript compatibility, including flexbox, grid, floats, iframes, Shadow DOM, custom elements and CSSOM.
  • Improved networking performance with request deduplication, reusable preloads, correct Vary caching and accurate Fetch Metadata headers.
  • Reduced style and layout work through incremental invalidation, lazy computed styles, container-query optimizations and release-build LTO.
  • Fixed serious reliability and security issues, including a cancelled-request double free, an MPEG decoder out-of-bounds read and unsafe system-plugin image decoding.
