David Hyatt appears to have kept himself busy over the holidays by implementing support in WebKit for a couple of very nifty CSS features: first, some custom CSS properties for stroking text (that is, for adding outline effects to character glyphs), followed by support for the CSS3 box-shadow property.

Bonus feature: While you’re over at the Surfin’ Safari blog, make sure to also check out the video of KDE/KHTML developer-demigods Lars Knoll and George Staikos talking about KHTML and WebKit. If you’re a browser-technologies junkie, consider it a must-see.
