Masonry porting to Vello has begun per RFC #1, with a planned move to Winit next. Vello gained Euler spiral-based stroke expansion enabling GPU stroking by default, support for over 64k draw objects, and progress on memory allocation strategies to reduce undefined behavior in out-of-memory cases. Font fallback support landed in Xilem thanks to improvements in Google's fontations crates, and hinting was unblocked in Vello though not yet integrated into Xilem. An RFC for a CI version matrix was approved and implemented. The team is preparing a demo for the RustNL conference in May. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
