This introduces the ability to allocate Vulkan images which can be shared across graphics APIs or across processes using the Linux dma-buf interface. The create_shareable_vulkan_image function takes a VulkanContext, image width, height, and format, and an array of DRM format modifiers representing image memory layouts accepted by the caller. The function will intersect this list with the list of modifiers supported by the Vulkan implementation, ensuring the resulting image uses one of those layouts (exactly which one is up to the implementation). The function will return a VulkanImage object, which is reference-counted and encapsulates the VkImage itself as well as the backing memory allocation. It also stores various image parameters such as usage, tiling, etc. The VulkanImage::get_dma_buf_fd function will create a file descriptor representing the image's backing dma-buf which can then be imported by a different API or sent over a unix domain socket. |

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.
