WPE WebKit

We will no longer post updates to this account. Please check wpewebkit.org for other ways to stay up-to-date on the latest news about WPE WebKit!

Just published an article based on the talk I delivered at the #WebKit Contributors meeting 2 weeks ago, summarizing the work on @WebKit that we did at @Igalia in the past 12 months: "Igalia and WebKit: status update and plans": mariospr.org/2024/11/03/iga…

WPE 2.46 has also released with Skia replacing Cairo as its 2D rendering and sysprof support (plus several other improvements). Winds of change! 👌#webkit #wpe #skia #cairo

Rendering with Skia, sysprof-enabled profiling, and much more! Learn what's new in WPE WebKit 2.46! wpewebkit.org/blog/2024-wpew… #webkit #wpe #skia

Carlos García Campos has written a status update on what's new in the graphics stack in WPE. Go check it out! blogs.igalia.com/carlosgc/2024/…

One more talk on #WebKitGTK scheduled for tomorrow at #GUADEC, this time coming from Georges Stavracas, who will be talking about the challenges of making the #GTK4 port of #WebKitGTK accessible again, the current status and what will be coming up next! events.gnome.org/event/209/cont…

Patrick (@t1ngp1ng) will talk tomorrow at #GUADEC, where he will be presenting the new #WebKitGTK and #WPE SDK that improves the development & testing experience with a container-based environment. See events.gnome.org/event/209/cont… More info on this new SDK at blog.tingping.se/2024/05/23/Int…

Amazing post by Georges Stavracas on the improvements recently added to the Linux ports of #WebKit, and the integration with sysprof. Worth pointing out that, while this work has been developed over @WebKitGTK , it also benefits #WPE so it's a double win (and just the beginning)!

Only one week to go for #GUADEC! Don't miss the talks from @igalia by Patrick and Georges, on the new SDK for #WebKitGTK (and @WPEWebKit) and on WebKitGTK #accessibility, on July 19th and 21st. More details in events.gnome.org/event/209/cont… and events.gnome.org/event/209/cont… See you there!

Our final talk of the day is from Nikolas Zimmermann, giving us an update on the Status of the Layer-Based SVG Engine in WebKit! #webengineshackfest

If you're not joining in person, you can still join us on the livestream on YouTube: youtube.com/live/r4tPJDj7n…

All talks will be streamed, for more information on how to attend, check webengineshackfest.org and follow @webhackfest !

Tuesday at 10:00 CEST (UTC+2), there will be a breakout session where people working in different web engines will discuss their experiences around anything graphics-related. We expect this one to be quite technical at times. More information: github.com/Igalia/webengi…

Continuing with status updates, on Wednesday at 15:00 CEST (UTC+2), Jani Hautakangas will talk about the latest developments in WPE-Android and the goals for this year. There might be some demos, too. Information can be found at github.com/Igalia/webengi…

On Wednesday, at 12:00 CEST (UTC+2) @alexgcastro and Carlos García Campos will report about the current status of the adoption of Skia for rendering in @WPEWebKit and @WebKitGTK and the plans for the coming months. github.com/Igalia/webengi…

Then on Tuesday at 12:00 CEST (UTC+2), Patrick Griffis will do a more hands-on session, demoing the new container-based SDK for WebKit and discussing the rationale for its creation and how it works. github.com/Igalia/webengi…

First, on Monday at 17:00 CEST (UTC+2), we will have @NikolasZimmerm1 talking about WebKit's new Layer-Based SVG Engine (LBSE), focusing on the progress during done during the previous year and what is coming next → #lbse" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">webengineshackfest.org/#lbse

The @webhackfest organized by @igalia kicks off today, and will span three days full of talks, BoFs, and workshops related to Web technologies and their implementation. Many @webkit contributors will be present and there are a number of sessions covering topics related to WPE!🧵

I've been using this new WebKit SDK on Linux for a while and highly recommend it. It fits really well when I need to tweak some dependencies, or to install local builds, when developing separate browsers/apps as we work on them and WebKit at the same time.
