Callum Law 8ebdaeab69 LibWeb: Transfer animation ownership to AnimatedBitmapDecodedImageData
Previously animation ownership was a messy split between
`AnimatedBitmapDecodedImageData` and the consumers (i.e.
`ImageStyleValueResource`, `HTMLImageElement`, and `SVGImageElement`)
with `AnimatedBitmapDecodedImageData` owning the frames and a current
frame index, and the consumers owning the rest of the state (e.g. loop
count, timers to drive the animation forward, their own current index).

This had a couple of main issues:
 - While `AnimatedDecodedImageData` partially synchronized animations by
   dropping unexpected advancement notifications, this didn't apply to
   other animation state which meant, for instance, that a later started
   consumer could drive the animation of an earlier one past the max
   loop count (albeit without invalidating the earlier consumer).
 - Multiple consumers didn't share frame timings, meaning animations
   could be up to a full frame out of sync visually.
 - Animations were paused depending on whether there were any consumers,
   this is different to the behavior in other browsers (where they
   continue regardless of whether there are any consumers).
 - It was an overgeneralization of how animations need to work - only
   `AnimatedBitmapDecodedImageData` works with an indexed frame model,
   with animated SVGs (although not yet implemented) relying on their
   internal event loop to be driven forward.

Given the above the new approach implemented in this commit is:
 - The API for `DecodedImageData` is animation system agnostic, only
   exposing `default_frame`, `current_frame`, and `restart_animation`
   methods not reliant on providing a specific frame index.
 - `AnimatedBitmapDecodedImageData` owns its own timer, loop count,
   etc. The animation starts when the first consumer registers and ends
   when the document is hidden or becomes inactive (or completes in the
   case of finite animations).
 - Consumers are invalidated by `AnimatedBitmapDecodedImageData` when
   required.

Tests have been added for:
 - Animations being paused when the document becomes inactive and
   restarted when it becomes active again.
 - Frame timings being synchronized across consumers.
 - Restarts triggered by `HTMLImageElement` applying to all consumers.
 - Processing ending once a non-infinite animation plays to completion.

The tests to ensure animations are cancelled when consumers are removed
(e.g. `animated-background-image-timer-stops-when-hidden.html`) have
been updated to assert the inverse since animation state is now per
resource not per consumer.

Ladybird

Ladybird 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
  • LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
  • LibMedia: Audio and video playback
  • LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
  • LibIPC: Inter-process communication

How do I build and run this?

See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.

Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.

How do I read the documentation?

Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
