Last September, the Servo project announced that long-time maintainer Josh Bowman-Matthews (@jdm) would work part-time on improving the Servo contributor experience, entirely funded by the monthly donations on OpenCollective and GitHub.In his own words, here is a look back over the past year!First of all, I am enormously grateful to everyone who financially supports Servo, as those donations have enabled me to devote significant time to a project that I care a lot about.Some highlights from that funded work that I’m proud of:I nominated 8 new maintainersI reviewed 1150 pull requestsI filed 114 issues targeted at newer contributors (92% of them have been fixed)I wrote new documentation about borrow hazards, experimental features, the AI policy, finding things to do, and fixing stable and intermittent test failuresOn top of that, I spent time diagnosing unexpected failures in others’ PRs and fixed numerous intermittent test failures that made merging PRs more difficult for everyone.A few

Today the Servo team has released v0.1.0 of the servo crate.This is our first crates.io release of the servo crate that allows Servo to be used as a library.We currently do not have any plans of publishing our demo browser servoshell to crates.io.In the 5 releases since our initial GitHub release in October 2025, our release process has matured, with the main “bottleneck” now being the human-written monthly blog post.Since we’re quite excited about this release, we decided to not wait for the monthly blog post to be finished, but promise to deliver the monthly update in the coming weeks.As you can see from the version number, this release is not a 1.0 release. In fact, we still haven’t finished discussing what 1.0 means for Servo.Nevertheless, the increased version number reflects our growing confidence in Servo’s embedding API and its ability to meet some users’ needs.In the meantime we also decided to offer a long-term support (LTS) version of Servo, since breaking changes in the reg
