Moving the Stable Web Forward in IE10 Release Preview

JMH · Jun 6, 2012

As part of Windows 8 Release Preview planning, we reviewed all the W3C draft standards supported by IE10. In particular, we looked for those specifications that:

Are stable, that is, there were no recent additions or changes and no renaming or major changes are expected;

Are supported by at least two browsers other than IE10;

Are interoperable across all these browsers for the features’ core use cases;

Are already used on the Web, including in their unprefixed form; and

Reached Candidate Recommendation since Windows 8 Consumer Preview or are likely to become Candidate Recommendations in 2012.

The following W3C draft standard features match these criteria and IE10 now supports them in their unprefixed form:

Gradients (CSS Image Values and Replaced Content)

CSS Animations

CSS Transitions

CSS Transforms

font-feature-settings property (CSS Fonts)

Indexed Database API

Timing control for script-based animations (requestAnimationFrame)
