📃 June 2019 release notes

New in Chrome Android

The following features are now available in Chrome Android:

• Desynchronized 2D canvas: The optional desynchronized parameter of a canvas's getContext() method permits the browser to draw a 2D canvas independently of the event loop. This can reduce drawing latency.
• EXT_float_blend WebGL extension: The EXT_float_blend extension for WebGL 1.0 and 2.0 contexts adds 32-bit floating-point components to blending and draw buffers.
• Numeric separators: To improve readability for numeric literals, underscores (_) can be used as separators. For example, 1_050.95 is equivalent to 1050.95.
• Bulk memory operations (WebAssembly): Bulk memory operations, such as copy and init, mirror the efficiency of native memcpy and memmove operations.
• Non-trapping float-to-int conversion (WebAssembly): Saturating floating-point to integer conversion operators return the maximum or minimum integer value on overflow instead of trapping.
• Desynchronized WebGL canvas: The optional desynchronized parameter of a canvas's getContext() method permits the browser to draw a WebGL canvas independently of the event loop. This can reduce drawing latency.
• Desynchronized WebGL2 canvas: The optional desynchronized parameter of a canvas's getContext() method permits the browser to draw a WebGL2 canvas independently of the event loop. This can reduce drawing latency.
