Improved HTML5 support The new version of Silk registers twice the HTML5 compatibility score of the original version, as measured by html5test.com. A few of the key improvements include: Improved form and element support including full support for field types such as keygen, output, progress, and meter Geolocation for location-relevant web apps and web content IndexedDB support added for the Indexed Database API, in addition to the previously supported Web SQL Database Web workers allowing web applications to spawn background processing jobs Web notifications for sending alerts to end users Our developer customers have made clear that we need to continue to push ourselves on this front, requesting such features as in-browser access to the device camera. Look for more improvements in this area in the months ahead. And dont hesitate to add comments on what missing capabilities are most important to you. UI improvements Our customers have provided some excellent feedback on their experiences using Silk. Regarding our UI, particularly the new tab view, a couple of common themes have emerged: After even limited usage, the start page becomes littered with screen captures (i.e. images of the web pages youve visited). Eventually, the utility of quick access to most visited and bookmarked pages is lost amid the clutter. Intermingling bookmarks and most visited sites in the same view is confusing, with many customers unclear as to what exactly they were seeing on the new tab. |
