This patch reverts the previous attempted fix for snapping issues with picture caching, and implements a better solution. This fixes the main visual issue by ensuring that any fractional offset in the root transform is accounted for by: * Offsetting the tile rects by this amount, so that the content origin is a whole device pixel. * Invalidating all tiles if the fractional part of the root transform changes. This is required since it can affect the snapping logic that WR applies. Fortunately, this occurs very rarely - Gecko typically has a constant fractional part for each page.

WebRender
GPU renderer for the Web content, used by Servo.
Note that the canonical home for this code is in gfx/wr folder of the mozilla-central repository at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central. The Github repository at https://github.com/servo/webrender should be considered a downstream mirror, although it contains additional metadata (such as Github wiki pages) that do not exist in mozilla-central. Pull requests against the Github repository are still being accepted, although once reviewed, they will be landed on mozilla-central first and then mirrored back. If you are familiar with the mozilla-central contribution workflow, filing bugs in Bugzilla and submitting patches there would be preferred.
Update as a Dependency
After updating shaders in WebRender, go to servo and:
- Go to the servo directory and do ./mach update-cargo -p webrender
- Create a pull request to servo
Use WebRender with Servo
To use a local copy of WebRender with servo, go to your servo build directory and:
- Edit Cargo.toml
- Add at the end of the file:
[patch."https://github.com/servo/webrender"]
"webrender" = { path = "<path>/webrender" }
"webrender_api" = { path = "<path>/webrender_api" }
where <path> is the path to your local copy of WebRender.
- Build as normal
Documentation
The Wiki has a few pages describing the internals and conventions of WebRender.
Testing
Tests run using OSMesa to get consistent rendering across platforms.
Still there may be differences depending on font libraries on your system, for example.
See this gist for how to make the text tests useful in Fedora, for example.
