New in Chrome 106: Intl API Improvements, Pop-Up API, CSS Improvements, and more!-YouTube


Add 'ic' to the unit of length in CSS
The units used to specify the size of HTML elements in CSS already exist, such as `` px '' and `` em '', but the unit `` ic '' is added to these . This is based on the rendered size estimate for the 'water' glyph, which should be included in any CJK fontset . In other words, this is a full-width glyph-specific version of 'em', and in situations where the size of 'water' cannot be predicted (such as when a fontset that does not have a 'water' glyph is specified), this unit is 'em'. is equivalent to By implementing this unit, it seems that there is a possibility that size specification when designing a Japanese site will become convenient. You can check the specific usage and effects of 'ic' on the following site after updating Chrome.

◆Intl.NumberFormat v3 API

The Intl.NumberFormat v3 API is the following extensions to the existing Intl.NumberFormat.

1. Added 3 new functions to format a range of values
・formatRange()
・formatRangeToParts()
・selectRange()
2. Add grouping enum
3. Added new rounding/precision options
4. Added method to interpret string as decimal number
5. Rounding mode
6. Added new option 'signDisplay: 'negative''

With these implementations, it is expected that the localization of numerical expressions will become easier and the threshold for multilingual support will be lowered.



Support for SerialPort BYOB readers
By using a BYOB (bring your own buffer) reader, you can specify the buffer into which data is read without the stream allocating a new buffer for each chunk. Not only does this potentially reduce memory pressure, it also means that the amount of incoming data can be throttled, as the stream cannot return more space than it takes up in the provided buffer.

◆ Addition of non-vendor prefix version of CSS property -webkit-hyphenate-character

hyphenate-character is a CSS property that specifies the character to add to the end of wrapping when long strings are hyphenated, but in Chrome so far you have to use -webkit-hyphenate-character with the vendor prefix. did. This update supports hyphenate-character without vendor prefix. Note that -webkit-hyphenate-character is still available at this time.

◆ WebCodecs 'dequeue' event
A new 'dequeue' event has been added to the following WebCodecs interfaces:

Audio Decoder
Video Decoder
Audio Encoder
Video Encoder

Encoding/decoding work is queued when the encode() or decode() methods of these interfaces are called. The 'dequeue' event fires when WebCodecs has taken some or all of the queued work (that is, the work has been released from the queue). The implementation of this event frees you from writing code that periodically polls to see if the queue has decreased.

◆ Abolition of Permanent Quota
Deprecated support for the Window.PERSISTENT quota type used in parameters of the Window.requestFileSystem() method . Although there is some benefit in supporting this type, it is expected that the usage rate will decrease in the future because it is only used by the deprecated method Window.requestFileSystem(), and it uses a permanent quota. And it seems that the fact that it interferes with the partitioning work of the storage also pushed the abolition.

◆ Deprecated functions
In addition to the persistent quotas mentioned above, the following features have been deprecated and will be removed:

・Cookies that include non-ASCII characters in the 'Domain' attribute
・HTTP/2 push

◆ Origin Trial
The following features are included in the Origin Trial .

・Anonymous iframes (Mechanism that allows third-party iframes that do not support COEP to be displayed even when COEP is enabled)
・Pop-Up API (Mechanism for easily introducing pop-up screens)



In addition, 'Google Chrome 106' includes 20 security bug fixes .

The next stable version of 'Google Chrome 107' is scheduled to be released on October 25, 2022, local time.
