📃 November 2020 release notes

Newly available

The following features are newly available:

Conic gradients: The conic-gradient() and repeating-conic-gradient() CSS functions create backgrounds that progress between two or more colors around a center point.
Text underline position: The text-underline-position and text-underline-offset CSS properties set the position and distance from initial position of text underlines on text with text-decoration: underline.

The following features are now widely available:

Array iterators: Arrays are iterable with the for … of statement and enumerable with the methods entries(), keys(), and values().
JavaScript modules: JavaScript modules allow code to be organized into reusable units. Modules use import to load other modules and export to declare what is available to import from other modules. In HTML, modules are loaded with <script type="module">.

The following features are now available in Chrome:

Atomics.waitAsync: The Atomics.waitAsync() static method waits for a value in a shared memory location, providing a promise when the expected value is not yet in memory. The waitAsync() method is a non-blocking alternative to Atomics.wait().
Cookie store: The CookieStore interface is an asynchronous and promise-based API for managing cookies. It does not rely on document and so is available to service workers as well.
EXT_texture_norm16c WebGL extension: The EXT_texture_norm16 extension to WebGL 2.0 contexts adds 16 bit signed normalized and unsigned normalized fixed-point texture, renderbuffer, and texture buffer formats.
Font metric overrides: The ascent-override, descent-override, and line-gap-override descriptors adjust the display of a font declared in an @font-face statement. This can help make fallback fonts look the same size.
HTTP/3: HTTP/3 is a major revision of the HTTP network protocol, providing improved performance and efficiency by using QUIC as the underlying transport protocol.
Intl.Segmenter: The Intl.Segmenter API creates a locale-aware text splitter that can separate a string into meaningful graphemes, words, or sentences.
Quotes: The quotes CSS property sets the quotation marks inserted via the content CSS property or <q> element.
