This removes paint threads, rust-layers dependency, and changes
optional webrender types to be required.
The use_webrender option has been removed, however I've left
the "-w" command line option in place so that wpt
runner can continue to pass that. Once it's removed from there
we can also remove the -w option.
Once this stage is complete, it should be fine to change the
display list building code to generate webrender display
lists directly and avoid the conversion step.
Changes include:
- Introduce an IpcSend trait to abstract over a collection of IpcSenders
- Implement ResourceThreads collection to abstract the resource-related
sub threads across the component
- Rename original ResourceThread and ControlMsg into an unifed CoreResource__
to accommodate above changes and avoid confusions
add pass-through from doc to http-loader for referrer_policy, ref_URL
add logic for setting referer header
add script pass-through for referrer
add unit tests for setting referer header
WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
