-Ladybird is entirely funded by the generous support of companies and individuals who believe in the open web. This month, we're excited to welcome the following new sponsors:

+Hello friends! June is over, and while many took time off for summer, we still merged 241 PRs from 52 contributors.
 
 ### Web Platform Tests (WPT)
 
-Some WPT things have probably occurred.
+This month we have 3,455 new passing WPT subtests for a new total of 1,818,766.
+
+As expected, things are slowing down in this area, since we've exhausted the low-hanging fruit and are now left with many small things that often require more effort to fix. Of course we still carry on grinding upwards!
 
-### Logical aliases
+### CSS logical aliases
 
 Some CSS properties are "logical aliases" for others, for example `margin-inline-start`. This means that the side or
 direction they apply to depends on the text direction: for top-down text the "inline start side" is the top; for
 left-to-right it's the left; and for right-to-left it's the right. Ladybird has long understood these properties, but
-hard-coded them to left-to-right text. This month we replaced that with proper checks for the `writing-mode` and
-`direction` properties. ([PR #5138](https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/pull/5138))

+### Progress on Windows support
+
+One of the most common questions we get: "When will Ladybird support Windows?"
 
-One of the most-asked questions we get is "When will Ladybird support Windows?" To be clear, the planned alpha and beta
-releases will only be available for Linux and macOS. With that being said, community contributors are making steady
-progress on the Windows port. This month, Windows support has progressed to the point that LibJS tests are passing on
-Windows 10 and 11, albeit without ASAN and UBSAN enabled. We can also build the core of the browser engine, LibWeb,
-though work remains to be done to be able to actually run the headless browser and WebContent processes.
+To clarify, the upcoming alpha and beta releases will target Linux and macOS only. That said, community contributors have been making steady progress on a Windows port!
+
+Our JavaScript tests already run on Windows, and the LibWeb engine library builds cleanly. The headless browser and WebContent process don't run yet, but we're getting closer.
 
 ### CI: macOS and Windows
 
-In May, we've started using [Blacksmith's](https://blacksmith.sh/) action runners which already significantly reduces
-the time it takes to run CI, providing us with quicker iterations on pull requests. In June, we started using our
-self-hosted macOS runner removing one of the last performance bottlenecks that we had for PRs. Additionally, we now
-support running CI for Windows on PRs which helps when reviewing them!

 ### Security Advisory update
 
-We have received a few security reports via GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature that we are in the process
-of triaging. The first to be fixed was reported by [@intrigus](https://github.com/intrigus-lgtm), and was included in
-a CTF at [GPN CTF 2025](https://gpn23.ctf.kitctf.de/). They have provided a writeup [here](https://github.com/s41nt0l3xus/CTF-writeups/tree/master/gpnctf-2025/WebGL-bird).
+We've received a few security reports via GitHub's private vulnerability disclosure feature and are currently triaging them.
 
-As we have yet to release an alpha or beta version of Ladybird, we are not yet publishing security advisories. However,
-the experience with the currently reported vulnerabilities has shown that we have a lot of work to do to be
-prepared to handle the types of security issues we expect from a full release. As we receive more reports and get closer
-to a public release, we hope to share more details about our security process and how we plan to handle vulnerabilities
-in accordance with our [Security Policy](https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/b3d9e39bad4f4a394cf518f54af1937967fbea29/SECURITY.md).
+The first report to be fixed came from [@intrigus-lgtm](https://github.com/intrigus-lgtm), and was featured in a CTF at [GPN CTF 2025](https://gpn23.ctf.kitctf.de/). One CTF participant shared a writeup on how they exploited the bug [here](https://github.com/s41nt0l3xus/CTF-writeups/tree/master/gpnctf-2025/WebGL-bird).
 
-### Offscreen Canvas
+Since we haven't released any alpha or beta builds yet, we're not publishing formal advisories. That said, these early reports have already shown us how much we need to improve our processes before a stable release.
 
-We've added an initial implementation of OffscreenCanvas this month. This allows authors to perform potentially complex
-rendering tasks off the main thread, which can greatly improve the performance and responsiveness of websites that make
-heavy use of canvas rendering. ([PR #3788](https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/pull/3788))
+As we receive more reports and move closer to shipping, we'll share more about our vulnerability handling approach, in line with our [Security Policy](https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/b3d9e39bad4f4a394cf518f54af1937967fbea29/SECURITY.md).
