This Month in Ladybird September 2024
September 2024 is wrapping up, and it’s been another great month for the Ladybird project. We’ve merged 242 PRs from 48 contributors, and made significant progress all over.
Ladybird is fully funded through the generous support of companies and individuals who believe in the open web. This month, we’re excited to welcome the following new sponsors:
We’ve replaced our in-house HTTPS implementation with the curl library. This change has dramatically improved both compatibility and performance (it’s often more than 5x faster), allowing us to load more websites faster than ever before!
We’ve made significant progress in Web Platform Test (WPT) coverage this month. The number of test timeouts has been reduced from 5,798 to 2,970, and switching to curl for networking has cut down the full test run time from 7 hours to under 5 hours.
In addition, we’ve fixed a long-standing issue with reftest image capture, improving our test accuracy. We’re now passing 588,982 more subtests compared to last month, bringing the total to 1,510,615 . You can track our progress via our new WPT dashboard or check out the results on wpt.fyi.
