📃 November 2014 release notes
New in Chrome
The following features are now available in Chrome:
-
Beacons:
The
navigator.sendBeacon()method asynchronously sends an HTTP POST request with a limited amount of data, typically for app state, events, and analytics data. The one-way beacon is guaranteed to be initiated before the browser unloads the page, but the sender does not get to handle the response. -
Generators:
Generator functions (
function*) create iterators that return multiple values, one after another, on-demand. -
:indeterminate:
The
:indeterminateCSS pseudo-class selects any form element whose state is indeterminate, such as checkboxes that have been set to an indeterminate state with JavaScript, or radio buttons which are members of a group in which all radio buttons are unchecked.
