Blisk 9.0.177.201

What's new in this version:

Emulation update:
- Starting in version 9 on all platforms, Blisk will use the newly improved emulation. The devices start displaying website's loading state. This release also has improved emulation performance - the devices load faster and resize better

Device in real size:
- Since version 9, we introduce the new feature: previewing device in real size. With this feature, you can check how your web application, fonts, and elements look on the real device

Google tab:
- Since version 9, we introduce the new feature: Google tab . Google tab is an overlaying tab with Google search. You can use this tab to quickly find anything on the web without leaving your current tab

Google tab has two states:
- Google tab is ready to launch
- Google tab is launched. Click once again to disable it

Shortcuts:
- Blisk lets you perform most tasks directly from the keyboard. You can find the list of the default bindings (keyboard shortcuts) below. Note: you cannot change the existing shortcuts

New error reports:
- Since version 9, Blisk displays error reports in the overlay over device and desktop. Device overlay displays device errors and desktop overlay displays desktop errors

Chromium 65 with new APIs and technologies:
Since version 9, Blisk starts supporting latest APIs and technologies with Chromium 65:
- Network Information API provides actual network performance metrics from the client. Using these network quality signals, you can tailor content to the network. For example, on very slow connections, you could improve page load performance by serving a reduced version. To simplify your application logic, the API returns the measured network performance in terms of how it would compare to a cellular connection. For example, connected to a super fast fiber connection, the API would report 4G.
- console.log(navigator.connection.effectiveType);
- > 4G
- OpenType Variable Fonts Traditionally, one font contained only a single instance of a font family, for example, one weight or one stretch. If you wanted regular, bold and italic, you’d need to include three separate fonts, increasing the weight of your page. An OpenType variable font is the equivalent of multiple individual fonts that can be compactly packaged within a single font file. By adjusting the font-variation-settings CSS property, stretch, style, weight and more, can easily be adjusted, providing an infinite number of stylistic variations. Those three fonts can now be combined into a single, compact file.
- .heading {
- font-family: "Avenir Next Variable";
- font-size: 48px;
- font-variation-settings: 'wght' 700, 'wdth' 75;
- .content {
- font-family: "Avenir Next Variable";
- font-size: 24px;
- font-variation-settings: 'wght' 400;
- Media capture from DOM elements You can now live-capture content into a MediaStream directly from HTMLMediaElements like audio and video, with the Media Capture from DOM Elements API. After invoking captureStream() on an HTML media element, the streamed content can be manipulated, processed, sent remotely or recorded. Imagine using web audio to create your own equalizer or vocoder. Or stream the content to a remote site using WebRTC. The possibilities are almost endless.
- CSS Paint API. CSS Paint API allows you to programmatically generate an image whenever a CSS property expects an image. Properties like background-image or border-image are usually used with url() to load an image file or with CSS built-in functions like linear-gradient(). Instead of using those, you can now use paint(myPainter) to reference a paint worklet.

Server Timing API. The new Server Timing API allows your server to pass timing information to the browser; giving you a better picture of your overall performance. You can track as many metrics as you want: database read times, start-up time, or whatever is important to you, by adding a Server-Timing header to your response:
- 'Server-Timing': 'su=42;"Start-up",db-read=142;"Database Read"'
- display: contents. The new CSS display: contents property is pretty slick! When added to a container element, any children take its place in the DOM, and it essentially disappears
