In February’s update for Ladybird Browser, significant improvements have been made across various aspects of its functionality and performance. Highlights include:
1. Support for CSS `inert` attribute to make elements non-interactive, non-focusable, and non-findable in specific scenarios such as modals or popups.
2. Implementation of aarch64 Linux continuous integration using GitHub Actions’ new public runners, enhancing testing capabilities.\
3. Optimizations for style invalidation to reduce unnecessary recalculations during webpage rendering, particularly when `:has()` selectors are present.
4. Addition of the `inert` attribute support in CSS styling along with other incremental enhancements related to constraint validation API and aarch64 Linux compatibility.\
5. Improved network resource monitoring through Resource Timing API implementation for better website performance analysis tools like Cloudflare Turnstile and Sentry.
6. Continued progress on Constraint Validation API support, currently covering `required` attribute checks for non-empty values and pattern matching against regular expressions via the `pattern` attribute.\
7. Expanded continuous integration coverage with a new GitHub Actions job running nightly tests on Linux ARM architecture alongside existing x86_64 Linux and macOS configurations.
Ladybird Browser appreciates contributions from numerous developers during this period, including Aliaksandr Kalenik, Alice Lee, Andreas Kling et al. To stay updated about future developments or join the project directly visit their website at ladybird.org.\
