Chrome 34 has been released and Chrome 35 is available in beta. What do these new releases have on offer for devs? The three key features of Chrome 34 are:
New features of Chrome 35, applicable to Chrome for Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS, are intended to help devs: make richer, more compelling web content and apps, especially for mobile devices.
Promises - for referring to values that may not yet be known leading to cleaner asynchronous code - for creating garbage-collected data structures to avoid memory leaks. Object.observe - allows you to receive all changes to multiple objects in a single asynchronous call. This is especially useful for framework authors implementing data-binding.
With Shadow DOM, web frameworks can stop worrying about their widgets inadvertently breaking pages by using conflicting CSS selectors, class or id names, and start relying on DOM as the interoperable way of building components.
Another new features in this release is CSS Font Loading which can be used to dynamically load font resources and gives developers more control over the user experience on pages that use Web Fonts. For instance, you can ask Chrome to start downloading the web fonts you'll need on demand and be notified when they become available.
