Gang,

In about a month Chrome 82 goes to beta. Please let me know of any V8 features that might be shipping in Chrome 82 or 83. I don't care if it's a new API, a bug to add a missing interface member, a spec change or whatever. I need to know all of it. If you have any questions about this, just ask, or refer to the FAQ in my updated communication instructions.

The only thing V8 that I'm currently aware of for Chrome 82 is ES Modules for shared workers ('module' type option)

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Usually V8 prepares a release blog post for every milestone at v8.dev. Are there plans to have additional documentation besides that?

Cheers,

Yang

We list JavaScript updates in the beta release post. This is a smaller subset than what's in your release notes since it lists only features that web developers may want to incorporate in their pages. However, we do link back to your release notes. Consider this an extra publicity channel for your work.

Here's the post for Chrome 81. The JavaScript section is near the bottom.

If an API's not documented it doesn't exist.

Historically chromestatus.com was the mechanism I thought the Chromium blog post preparers used to determine new features. Is that no longer the case?

It is still the case, but it's only up to date when feature owners remember to update it. I always ask around feature freeze as a reminder. I also get information about features that developers think might ship, when they aren't sure enough to update Chrome Status. It's how I ensure that DevRel has enough time to properly prepare media outreach if outreach is merited.

Joe is asking for the Beta release blog posts. Here’s an example: https://blog.chromium.org/2019/08/chrome-77-beta-new-performance-metrics.html They are Chrome-wide and exist in addition to v8.dev feature explainers and release notes.
