We are excited to announce that earlier this year in July, Servo received a NLnet grant from @NGIZero to enhance several aspects of Servo.

Under this grant, our primary focus is to:

- Complete float support in Servo
- Support more languages in inline layout
- Add initial <table> support

For floats, our objective is to achieve an average pass rate of over 80%. Last week, we surpassed this for the floats tests, with an 82.2% WPT pass rate.
