Which components will use Rust code?

  • URL parser: bug 1151899
  • MP4 metadata parser: bug 1161350
  • CSS style calculation / bug stylo: Experimental work is in progress to use Servo's style code in Gecko.
  • Replace uconv with encoding-rs: bug 1261841
  • …and more will be added as the project progresses!

What is the high-level status of things?

  • Build system support is available in nightly and Aurora.
  • The MP4 metadata parser is enabled in nightly/Aurora and scheduled to ship to release in Firefox 47 (June 6) for Win32, Linux64 and Mac OSX.
  • Rust code still does not work on Win64, Linux32 or Android.
