Cambios para desarrolladores

JavaScript

• Los objetos Map y Set pasaron de tener un método size() a tener una propiedad size (bug 807001)
• Los objetos Map and Set ahora tienen un método clear(). (bug 805003)

CSS

• Support for the viewport-relative <length> units, vh, vw, vmin, and vmax, has landed (bug 503720)
• CSS Flexbox has been unprefixed, but remains disabled by default (bug 801098).
• The -moz-initial value has been unprefixed (bug 806068). -moz-initial will be kept for a while as an alias; however, authors are strongly encouraged to switch over to initial.
• The CSS text-transform property now supports the full-width keyword, which allows a more seamless inclusion of Latin characters in text using ideographic fixed-width characters, like Chinese or Japanese (bug 774560).
• The CSS page-break-inside has been implemented (bug 685012).
• The CSS calc() function can now be used on <color-stop> (on <gradient>).
• The CSS @page at-rule is now supported (bug 115199). Note that the pseudo-classes :first, :right, and :left are not yet implemented.
• The :-moz-placeholder pseudo-class is replaced by the ::-moz-placeholder pseudo-element (bug 737786).

DOM

• The element.getElementsByTagName method will now return HTMLCollection (bug 799464).
• The File mozLastModifiedDate property has been implemented. (bug 793955)
• The CanvasRenderingContext2D isPointInStroke method has been implemented (bug 803124).

XForms

Support for XForms has been removed in Firefox 19.

Changes for add-on and Mozilla developers

• getBrowserSelection() now returns the selected text in a text input field. As a result, gContextMenu.isTextSelected will be true when the user selects text in a text input field that is not a password field. (bug 565717)
• Dict.jsm: Dict() now takes a JSON String. Dict.toJSON() was added, and it returns a JSON String. (bug 727967)
