As other teams are sending out updates we thought input-dev should join in. As co-TL (with tdresser@) of the input-dev team I'll be condensing our individual snippets into something more digestible by the broader community.

Input-dev has the goal of making touch and other input on the web awesome.

Scrolling & Input Performance:

Parse.ly now using passive listeners
Fling Intervention under dev (lanwei)
RAF aligned input on main thread prototype (dtapuska)
5-7x improvement in freshness of input events (dtapuska)

Pointer Events:

Making good progress; we are tracking beta finch trial for M54
Investigation into hit testing regression in M50-51 ongoing (crbug.com/634046)
Fixed got/lostpointercapture event properties (nzolghadr)

Standards Work

AnimationWorklet spec written (majidvp)
Viewport Intent to Ship sent (bokan)

sped'd InputDeviceCapabilities.pointerMovementScrolls (rbyers)
sped'd Implicit hit-testing for PointerEvents (rbyers)
