With this change TransportSocket becomes capable of sending large messages without relying on workarounds, such as sending the message as a shared memory file descriptor when it can't fully fit into the socket buffer. It's implemented by combining all enqueued messages into two buffers: one for bytes and another for fds, and repeatedly attempts to write them in smaller chunks, waiting for the socket to become writable again if the receiver needs time to consume the data. Another significant improvement brought by this change is that we no longer drop messages queued for sending if the socket doesn't become writable after a 100ms timeout. Instead, we return the message to the send buffer and continue waiting for the socket to become writable. |

Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
