WebKit Features in Safari 16.6

Today’s release of Safari is the seventh since last fall. It focuses on key bug fixes and feature polish.

Bug Fixes

CSS

• Fixed using currentcolor with color-mix().
• Fixed content at block-start edge to have their trimmed margins reflected in the computed style.
• Fixed trimmed block-end margins for block containers to be reflected in the computed style in a horizontal writing mode.
• Fixed compression streams to handle large outputs during the flush stage.
• Fixed trimming nested self-collapsing children at block-end.
• Fixed the CSS hypot() function sometimes returning the result squared.
• Fixed container query length units to use the content box instead of the border box.
• Fixed serializing properties directly in the parent group rule only for the first nested style rule.

Forms

• Fixed the value not updating on <meter> and <progress> elements.

Web API

• Fixed putImageData to draw on the correct canvas.
