Servo 0.4.0 contains all of the changes we landed in June, which came out to yet another record 558 commits (April: 534, May: 391). For security fixes, see § Security. Servo is steadily becoming a bigger and busier project every month, and by June 2026, we’ve been reading through over four times the commits as we did when we started in September 2023. This is hard work, particularly since there are things we need to know that are often difficult to answer just by reading the changes: Who does the change affect, if anyone? Does it affect users, Servo developers, embedders, or some other group? Does the feature require any preferences to be enabled, or is it enabled for everyone by default? What issue or broader project is the change related to? This question is answered by Fixes: #xxxxx or Part of: #xxxxx in the PR description. Thanks to an initiative by @jdm, it’s now easier than ever for you to help us answer those questions, using the Servo Highfive bot!
