Please welcome Alan Jeffrey, or ajeffrey on IRC, to the Servo team! He will be doubling the size of our “Chicago office.” He is currently looking into our performance on Dromaeo, which is a heavy stress test of our Rust<->JavaScript integration.

In the last week, we landed 82 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories. Additionally, we passed 5,000 stars on https://github.com/servo/servo!

Notable additions

• jdm added a description of our directories and most important dependencies, with help from ms2ger
• frewsxcv moved some of our old ref tests to the new WPT harness
• frewsxcv also improved caching on Servo Travis builds
• nox made heap JS pointers dereferencable
• nox also moved manual Derived impls to codegen
