The team plans to relicense resvg/usvg from MPL-2.0 to a dual Apache 2.0/MIT license, integrate the projects into Linebender's CI and release practices, and continue accepting community contributions. The update also covers October progress across Linebender's other projects: Xilem (reborrowing support, exposed font weight), Masonry (new book, pass specification RFC merged, request_render replacing request_paint, Tracy integration), Vello 0.3.0 (no longer considered experimental, emoji and blurred rounded rectangle support), Parley 0.2.0 (text editing abstraction, tree-style layout builder), Piet 0.7.0 (Rust 2018 edition update, Direct2D robustness fix), and Druid's planned relicensing and eventual archival in favor of Xilem. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Who is maintaining resvg now that RazrFalcon has stepped back? The Linebender open-source organization has taken over stewardship of resvg, tiny-skia, simplecss, svgtypes, and resvg-test-suite after original maintainer Yevhenii Reizner (RazrFalcon) stepped back due to personal circumstances. Linebender plans to keep releases flowing, review pull requests and issues, and integrate the crates into its own CI and release practices while existing usage should continue working unchanged. _Rust developers relying on resvg for SVG rendering can track maintenance changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Is resvg changing its license? Yes, the resvg repository (covering both resvg and usvg) is being relicensed from MPL-2.0 to a dual Apache 2.0 / MIT license, matching the standard used across the Rust ecosystem and by other Linebender projects. The change will take effect with the first release under Linebender's stewardship, easing code sharing between Linebender crates. _Teams tracking dependency license changes before upgrading can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### Is Vello ready for production use in Rust GUI projects? Vello, Linebender's GPU vector renderer, is no longer considered experimental as of version 0.3.0, which added support for emoji rendering and blurred rounded rectangles. There are still known issues, but none considered blockers for wider adoption, so developers are encouraged to try it for their projects. _Developers evaluating GPU-based rendering libraries can weigh options like Vello on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#rust](https://daily.dev/tags/rust) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/linebender-in-october-2024-resvg-stewardship-cygjgr0cx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Linebender in October 2024: resvg stewardship","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/linebender-in-october-2024-resvg-stewardship-cygjgr0cx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linebender-in-october-2024-resvg-stewardship-cygjgr0cx"},"datePublished":"2026-08-31T05:54:35.475Z","dateModified":"2026-08-31T05:55:34.742Z","description":"Linebender, the open-source Rust GUI organization, has taken over stewardship of resvg, tiny-skia, and related crates (simplecss, svgtypes, resvg-test-suite)...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--58gMhC4P--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2012","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--58gMhC4P--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2012","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Linebender","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Linebender","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/logos/placeholder.jpg","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/linebender"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/linebender-in-october-2024-resvg-stewardship-cygjgr0cx","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"rust","timeRequired":"PT7M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Linebender","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/linebender"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Linebender in October 2024: resvg stewardship"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/linebender-in-october-2024-resvg-stewardship-cygjgr0cx#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Who is maintaining resvg now that RazrFalcon has stepped back?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Linebender open-source organization has taken over stewardship of resvg, tiny-skia, simplecss, svgtypes, and resvg-test-suite after original maintainer Yevhenii Reizner (RazrFalcon) stepped back due to personal circumstances.
