LibLocale was split off from LibUnicode a couple years ago to reduce the number of applications on SerenityOS that depend on CLDR data. Now that we use ICU, both LibUnicode and LibLocale are actually linking in this data. And since vcpkg gives us static libraries, both libraries are over 30MB in size. This patch reverts the separation and merges LibLocale into LibUnicode again. We now have just one library that includes the ICU data. Further, this will let LibUnicode share the locale cache that previously would only exist in LibLocale.

# Ladybird
|
|
|
|
[Ladybird](https://ladybird.dev) is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
|
|
|
|
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes,
|
|
an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
|
|
|
|
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content.
|
|
Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
|
|
|
|
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
|
|
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
|
|
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
|
|
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
|
|
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
|
|
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
|
|
- LibArchive: Archive file format support
|
|
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
|
|
- LibAudio, LibMedia: Audio and video playback
|
|
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
|
|
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
|
|
