v0.10.3 brings better fetch headers and Web Platform Test verification

[stroiman]

I don't intend to announce every release, and this isn't even a feature, but it's an achievement I am particularly proud of.

Important

Gost-DOM now use parts of the Web Platform Tests as part of it's verification!¹

Web Platform Tests is a test suite for verifying browser behaviour, used by, and contributed to, by all browser manufacturers.

This helps ensure Gost-DOM behaves as a browser should in the supported areas.

3rd party extensions can also benefit from this². A goal of Gost-DOM is to allow 3rd party modules to implement the web APIs that are out of scope for Gost-DOM tiself. With a WPT framework in place, module authors can eventually use the same foundation to run their own subset of the WPT suite.

Adding WPT has not only caught a few bugs, it has helped me gain deeper understanding of both browsers, as well as JavaScript.

2. 3rd party extension modules aren't supported yet. A solid foundation is emerging, but still kept in internal APIs. ↩
