January 2026: Focused on stabilizing the Android painting path in the servo/servo project. Delivered a targeted regression fix in JNIServo that restores correct painting behavior in the Android app by renaming the Java-facing methods (pauseCompositor/resumeCompositor to pausePainting/resumePainting). The change was implemented in commit 4f3b6fd26795a7e06719fee81907ab6aa9d76d4d and validated by building servoview.aar and testing within the Android app. This work reduces user-visible painting glitches, strengthens release readiness, and sets the stage for more robust JNI-Android integration.
