📃 December 2016 release notes

New in Chrome

The following features are now available in Chrome:

  • Async functions: The async and await keywords allow you to use the asynchronous, promise-based behavior of a function without using promise chains.
  • Animatable clipping paths: The clip-path property can be animated using CSS transitions and animations.
  • Motion path: The offset CSS property animates an element along a defined motion path.
  • Pointer Events: Pointer events, such as pointerdown, and the PointerEvent API, represent general pointing inputs, from a wide range of devices, such as a mouse, pen or stylus, or touch with one or more fingers. Not to be confused with the pointer-events CSS property.

  • Hyphenation: The hyphens CSS property controls when long words are broken by line wrapping. Although called hyphens, the property applies to word-splitting behavior across languages, such as customary spelling changes or the use of other characters. Support for non-English languages varies significantly.
