Servo now on crates.io

[Posted April 13, 2026 by jzb]

The Servo project has announced the first release of servo as a crate for use as a library.

As you can see from the version number, this release is not a 1.0 release. In fact, we still haven't finished discussing what 1.0 means for Servo. Nevertheless, the increased version number reflects our growing confidence in Servo's embedding API and its ability to meet some users' needs.

In the meantime we also decided to offer a long-term support (LTS) version of Servo, since breaking changes in the regular monthly releases are expected and some embedders might prefer doing major upgrades on a scheduled half-yearly basis while still receiving security updates and (hopefully!) some migration guides. For more details on the LTS release, see the respective section in the Servo book.

Doesn't care to mention what Servo is

... hence quoting the website:

"Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications."

Servo GTK widget

Last year there was already a prototype: https://blogs.gnome.org/nacho/2025/10/01/servo-gtk/

> a GTK widget which will allow embedding a Servo Webview inside a GTK application

Similar to the WebKitGTK project.

LTS release?

Interesting to have an LTS release for a pre-1.0 project.
