CSP3 allows hash expressions to match external scripts, by relying on SRI as underlying infrastructure. That is, given `Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'sha256-abc123' 'sha512-321cba'`, `<script integrity="sha256-abc123" ...></script>` will be allowed. #

The `report-sample` property attempts to reach consensus on an opt-in variant Firefox's behavior. In short, we'll collect a 40-character sample for inline script and style violations, and include it in the violation report (and associated SecurityPolicyViolationEvent object) iff a 'report-sample' expression is present in the violated directive. #

The MediaError.message DOMString field provides, if available, any additional vendor-specific error message detail to assist web authors debugging media player errors. The format and content of the string is left to vendors, though it's commonly in the form of a vendor-specific error code followed optionally by a ":" and further detail about the error. It is populated at the time of MediaError creation. #

An API that enables the browser to send “preload” network requests for navigations before executing the fetch event handler in the service worker that intercepts the target URL. The worker has access to the preload response inside the fetch event handler. Common use cases would be to respond with the preload response directly, or use it to populate the response. #

Normally, ICE candidates are only gathered after RTCPeerConnection.setLocalDescription is called, because this is the point at which the PeerConnection knows how many ports it needs. The iceCandidatePoolSize member of RTCConfiguration instructs the PeerConnection to gather ICE candidates before this occurs, as a performance optimization. Thus, if setting the local description is delayed (by signaling, for example), interactions with STUN/TURN servers can occur in parallel. #
This feature was specified in this Spec.
This feature adds the icegatheringstatechange event and the onicegatheringstatechange event handler to RTCPeerConnection. #

Web developers can check it to avoid untrustworthy responses. - To avoid the risk of open redirectors (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html) introduce a new security restriction which disallows service workers to respond to requests with a redirect mode different from "follow". #

No linked samplesReadableStream's pipeTo() is the standard way to compose readable and writable streams. It reads data from the ReadableStream and writes it to a WritableStream while respecting backpressure. pipeThrough() is a simple wrapper around pipeTo() that provides elegant syntax for chaining multiple streams. #

WritableStream is part of the Streams API for creating, composing, and consuming streams of data. It is the writable counterpart to ReadableStream, which is already shipping in Chrome. It provides a standard abstraction for writing streaming data to a sink, with built-in backpressure and queuing. This is expected to be on by default in Chrome 59. #

According to the spec, decodeAudioData detaches the given ArrayBuffer before decoding. This means that the ArrayBuffer no longer has any contents and can't be reused or examined. If it's important to keep the data, user ArrayBuffer.slice(0) to make a copy for decodeAudioData. #

self.origin returns the Unicode serialization of the origin of the settings object of the global represented by "self" (a Window or WorkerGlobalScope). This gives scripts a consistent way of getting their origin in both situations. Note that unlike location.origin this represents the actual origin of the global, not the origin of the URL it's loaded from. The difference can be substantial in the case of sandboxing, for example. #

To keep the platform healthy, we sometimes remove APIs from the Web Platform which have run their course. There can be many reasons why we would remove an API, such as:
Some of these changes will have an effect on a very small number of sites. To mitigate issues ahead of time, we try to give developers advanced notice so they can make the required changes to keep their sites running.
Chrome currently has a process for deprecations and removals of API's, essentially:
You can find a list of all deprecated features on chromestatus.com using the deprecated filter and removed features by applying the removed filter. We will also try to summarize some of the changes, reasoning, and migration paths in these posts.
This release of Chrome had 1 features deprecated.

We should block requests from HTTP/HTTPS documents that target "legacy" schemes (e.g. "ftp://my-awesome-ftp-server.com/yay.tiff"). That is, the `ftp://` image referenced in https://jsbin.com/petonig/edit?html,output would not load, as the document itself is not served from `ftp://`. #

Remove the support for "hover: on-demand" and "any-hover: on-demand" media queries. The "on-demand" value used to satisfy for the pointing devices that, for example, "can't normally hover, but will activate hover on a long press". The "on-demand" value for hover/any-hover media queries has been removed from the spec in early 2016. #

No linked samplesThe Service Worker spec has always had the (non-normative) note that "any type of synchronous requests must not be initiated inside of a service worker", to avoid blocking the service worker (as blocking the service worker would block all network requests from controlled pages). However synchronous APIs such as FileReaderSync were still available in service workers. So we'd like to fix that by removing this API from service workers. This was deprecated in Chrome 57. #
