New ES2015 features

Media controls in Android notifications

Other updates in this release

• Sites can now customize the vibration triggered when showing a notification on Android.
• Chrome’s implementation of the Push API has undergone several minor breaking changes to keep up to date with the evolving specification.
• Sites using promoted add to home screen can now programmatically control the timing of the banner.
• The rotationAngle attribute of Touch objects is no longer prefixed, making it easier for sites to understand the geometry of the user's touch with cross-browser code.
• To improve scroll performance on pages with heavy mouse handlers or :hover styles, Chrome no longer sends mouse position updates when the user is scrolling with a trackpad or scrollwheel.
• Chrome now immediately prefetches all HTML imports referenced by a page instead of waiting for scripts included higher in the document to finish executing, improving performance.
• Sites can now include 3rd-party resources on their site with reduced security risk by using a hash to ensure the integrity of 3rd-parties resources.
• To reduce the risk of certain types of attack, the 'self' source defined by Content Security Policy now excludes blob and filesystem URLs.
• The logjam attack is fixed in this release by deprecating the use of keys smaller than 1024 bits in Diffie-Hellman key exchanges, which may require developers to update their server’s TLS configuration.
• To improve cross-browser compatibility and specification compliance, CSSUnknownRule and CSSKeyframesRule.insertRule() are now deprecated with the latter now replaced by CSSKeyframesRule.appendRule().
• Sites using SMIL will now trigger deprecation warnings in the console, encouraging them to migrate to CSS Animations and Web Animations.
• This release deprecates both multiple shadow roots and shadow-piercing deep selectors following a unanimous decision by browser vendors at the Web Components April 2015 meeting.
• The MediaStream attributes label and ended are now deprecated in favor of id and active, while the stop() method is deprecated in favor of MediaStreamTrack.stop().

Installation notes

After downloading the package, confirm that the branch and platform match your device before launching the installer or extracting the archive. If you only need a standard everyday browser, Stable is usually the safest choice. If you are testing new behavior, Beta, Dev, and Canary are better fits.
