📃 July 2016 release notes

New in Chrome Android

The following features are now available in Chrome Android:

• contain: The contain CSS property sets limits to the scope of styles, layout, and paint rendering for speed and efficiency. The none keyword value disables containment, strict is equivalent to contain: size layout style paint, and content is equivalent to contain: layout style paint.
• Layout containment: The contain: layout CSS declaration isolates the inside of an element such that it cannot affect the layout of the rest of the page or be affected by the rest of the page. This permits the browser to avoid slower layout calculations.
• Paint containment: The contain: paint CSS declaration prevents an element's descendants from being drawn outside the boundaries of the containing element, with any overflow clipped. This permits the browser to avoid slower painting calculations.
• Size containment: The contain: size CSS declaration sets an element's dimensions exclusively by its height and width properties, ignoring its contents and descendants. This permits the browser to avoid slower layout calculations.
• Style containment: The contain: style CSS declaration permits the browser to avoid slower layout calculations by preventing modification to counter (counter-increment and counter-set) and quotation styles (content property quote values) beyond the element's descendants.
• Exponentiation operator: The exponentiation (**) operator returns the result of raising the first operand to the power of the second operand.
• font-variant-caps: The font-variant-caps CSS property sets whether text should be displayed in small caps, petite caps, or with capital letters designed for titles.
• font-variant-numeric: The font-variant-numeric CSS property sets how numeric characters are displayed. For example, you can align columns of numbers or use zeroes that have a slash.
