Platforms

What works where, and what has been checked on a real machine. Windows is marked plainly as not verified.

PlatformDeveloper toolsStatus
macOS All of them. Page engine: WebKit. Tested.
Linux All of them. Page engine: WebKitGTK 2.40 or newer. Tested on X11. Wayland is not verified.
Windows The build ships with the same tools. Page engine: WebView2. Not verified on a real machine. It is compiled and unit-tested in CI only.

On a system or a Linux install with a WebKitGTK older than 2.40, Developer mode reports that the platform is not supported instead of half working.

Recordings

Test runs recorded with record: 'video' produce an MP4 on macOS only. On Linux and Windows the recording is an animated PNG (recording.png), with the same frame player in the report.
