Last week in WebKit:
Find & replace and image orientation
This update covers 621 WebKit commits, up to revision 123308.
Find and replace functionality for source files has been added to Web Inspector, after less than a day of being experimental. Furthermore, an icon has been added for pausing JavaScript debugging.
The top property on the window object no longer is replaceable. It’s now possible to apply Shadow DOM to image elements, invalid script-nonce directives for Content Security Policy will cause WebKit to block script execution and the calculation for serializing CSS rgba() functions has been corrected.
Sliders can now have tick marks painted if they have an associated datalist, and behavior of negative values for text-indent has been aligned with CSS 2.1. As for experimental work, a compile time flag and parsing support for the image-orientation CSS property have landed. Initial support for positioning grid items by their row and column index is now available as well, and displaying dialogs will now take the open attribute into account.
Other changes which occurred last week:
- Adobe’s Web Platform Team blog has been added to Planet WebKit.
- Registering protocol handlers is now possible on the BlackBerry port.
- The GTK port has enabled compile-time support for the MHTML file format.
- The Qt port has enabled support for CSS Shaders in software-rendering mode.
- Chromium now compiles in support for CSS Variables, but still disables it during runtime.
- Submit buttons without values won’t show up as blank anymore for people relying on accessibility.
