 We’ve landed layout improvements around **‘border-collapse’** (@Loirooriol, #35219), **‘align-content: normal’** (@rayguo17, #35178), **‘place-self’** with **‘position: absolute’** (@Loirooriol, #35208), the **intrinsic sizing keywords** (@Loirooriol, #35413, #35469, #35471, #35630, #35642, #35663, #35652, #35688), and **‘position: absolute’** now works correctly in a **‘position: relative’ grid item** (@stevennovaryo, #35014).

+servoshell’s **dialogs now use egui** (@chickenleaf, #34823, #35399, #35464, #35507, #35577, #35657, #35671), rather than shelling out to a program like `zenity` (@chickenleaf, #35674), making them more secure and no longer falling back to terminal input.

+We’ve also fixed a bug when closing a tab other than the current one (@pewsheen, #35569).

+## Embedding
+
+We’ve moved some servoshell-only options out of [`Opts`](https://doc.servo.org/servo_config/opts/struct.Opts.html) (@mrobinson, #35377, #35407), since they have no effect on Servo’s behaviour.
