From the blog at https://servo.org/blog/2025/10/20/servo-0.0.1-release/

> Today, the Servo team has released new versions of the servoshell binaries for all our supported platforms, tagged v0.0.1. These binaries are essentially the same nightly builds that were already available from the download page with additional manual testing, now tagging them explicitly as releases for future reference.

> We plan to publish such a tagged release every month. For now, we are adopting a simple release process where we will use a recent nightly build and perform additional manual testing to identify issues and regressions before tagging and publishing the binaries.

> There are currently no plans to publish these releases on crates.io or platform-specific app stores. The goal is just to publish tagged releases on GitHub.



Is it as simple as "now is as good a time as any to start tagging releases"? There's no special motivating factor that drove this to happen now?


I think it's also that they finally got Mac/Arm releases sorted, so now they have the full platform support matrix for nightlies?


That's roughly correct. The other side of this is figuring out a release process and thinking about versioning.


I think the motivation is Ladybird [1] coming on the scene with lots of awareness and sponsorship
