Chrome 40 Beta released with Service Workers API Support & Other Improvements

Chrome 40 Beta released with Support for Service Workers & Other Improvements

Chromium developers officially announces the release of Chrome 40 beta browser with several new developer features to help you make richer, more compelling web content and apps especially for mobile devices. This release comes with support for minlength attribute, HarfBuzz support on OS X and a variety of other additions and tweaks.

According to official announcement, the most highlighted feature of Chrome 40 Beta Browser is addition of service workers which is a powerful new API that allows developers to make sites work offline by intercepting network requests to deliver programmatic or cached responses.

The new service workers API also allows developers to acheive dramatic performance improvements by caching UI and other common resources between page loads. Well the lifetime of this API is independent on page on which it is added. It also includes two new APIs named as Fetch API and Cache API  are used only in service workers. For detailed changes, please review their announcement page.

The Fetch API allows service workers to make network requests including cross-origin and return the responses to pages they control whereas Cache API can save fetched responses and then return them directly the next time the same resource is requested by passing the latency-prone network and eviction-prone HTTP cache.
