 "Fourth IE 10 Developer Preview out, HTML 5 heads to web apps")
Microsoft have updated their Windows Developer Preview to version 4, which is now available for download. This version expands HTML 5 support to web applications, enabling richer apps with significantly improved performance. IE10’s hardware acceleration of technologies like SVG, CSS3 transforms and animations delivers faster rendering than other browsers, which can be seen in the short video embedded below.
Shaping up well
According to IEBlog, developers can start working with more site-ready HTML5 technologies. Some of the highlights include:
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for safe use of XMLHttpRequest across domains.
File API Writer support for blobBuilder allowing manipulation of large binary objects in script in the browser.
Support for JavaScript typed arrays for efficient storage and manipulation of typed data.
CSS user-select property to control how end-users select elements in a Web page or application.
Support for HTML5 video text captioning, including time-code, placement, and captioning file formats.
All the features in this platform preview are available to Web pages, now and will be available to Metro-style applications in Windows 8. For a more in-depth explanation on the above mentioned highlights, make sure to hit the link above.
