📃 August 2014 release notes

New in Chrome

The following features are now available in Chrome:

• all: The all CSS property is a shorthand for all CSS properties, except for direction and unicode-bidi. It accepts only the keywords for explicit defaulting (such as initial and inherit), since they are the only values supported on all CSS properties.
• ::backdrop: The ::backdrop CSS pseudo-element is a box underneath an element in the top layer, such as a <dialog>. It can be used to create obscuring effects distinguishing a modal element from the elements underneath.
• <dialog>: The <dialog> HTML element represents a modal or non-modal dialog box, such as a confirmation prompt or a subwindow used to enter data.
• hardwareConcurrency: The navigator.hardwareConcurrency property is the number of logical processors available to run threads on the user's computer.
• Pointer lock: Provides access to raw mouse movement by locking the target of mouse events to a single element and hiding the mouse cursor.
• shape-outside: The shape-outside CSS property, along with shape-margin and shape-image-threshold, sets the shape around which adjacent content will wrap.
• shapes: The circle(), ellipse(), inset(), and polygon() CSS shape functions create shapes for use with clip-path and shape-outside.
• Web Cryptography: The Web Cryptography API performs low-level cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, and signature verification. Also known as the Web Crypto API.
