Full Pass of Acid3
Today we would like to announce that WebKit is the first browser engine to fully pass Acid3.

CSS Canvas Drawing
Currently the set of images you can use from CSS consists of the following: Bitmap Images (PNG, GIF, JPG) SVG Images Gradients A notable missing ability when compared with explicit DOM content is programmatic drawing into CSS images.

NOTE: The syntax for CSS gradients in WebKit presented here is deprecated and should not be used.
Scenes from an Acid Test

UPDATE We now believe we have a full rendering pass (but not necessarily an animation smoothness pass yet).
