The WPE port of the WebKit Web engine — Embedded applications ♥ the Web, too! WebKit and the WebKit logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. — @WPEWebKit@floss.social
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/igal…
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
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!

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)!
Igalia’s Georges Stavracas writes about profiling WebKitGTK (a Linux port of Apple’s WebKit) to see how WebKitGTK is doing after being switched from Cairo to Skia, and how he hooked into WebKitGTK's existing tracing mechanisms to make that much easier

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/webengines…
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/webengines…
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/webengines…
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/webengines…
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!🧵
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 → webengineshackfest.org/#lbse
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.
