360 <h4> New APIs </h4>
361 <ul>
362 <li> The new
363 <a href="webNavigation.html">web navigation API</a>
364 lets extensions receive notifications about the status
365 of navigation requests;
366 you can use this API to track navigation events.
367 </li>
368 <li> The new
369 <a href="permissions.html">optional permissions API</a>
370 lets you control when users are presented with permission requests.
371 </li>
372 <li> The new
373 <a href="contentSettings.html">content settings API</a>
374 lets extensions customize Chrome’s behavior
375 on a per-site basis instead of globally;
376 you can use this API to control whether websites can use features
377 such as cookies, JavaScript, and plug-ins.
378 </li>
379 </ul>
380
381 <h4> Manifest changes </h4>
382 <ul>
383 <li> The new
384 <a href="manifest.html">requirements</a> field
385 allows you to declare extension requirements up front.
386 For example, you can use this field to specify that
387 your app requires "3D", and that
388 it supports two features, "css3d" and "webgl".
389 </li>
390 </ul>
391
392 <h4> Additions to existing APIs </h4>
393 <ul>
394 <li> The new
395 <a href="tabs.html#method-query">chrome.tabs.query()</a> method
396 gets all tabs that have the specified properties or
397 all tabs if no properties are specified.
398 </li>
399 <li>The new
400 <a href="tabs.html#method-reload">chrome.tabs.reload()</a> method
401 reloads a tab and includes the option
402 to preserve the local cache of the reloaded tab.
403 </li>
404 <li>The management API's
405 <a href="management.html#type-ExtensionInfo">ExtensionInfo</a> object
406 now has an <code>updateURL</code> property.
407 </li>
408 <li>
409 You can now limit the supported locales for an
410 <a href="external_extensions.html">external extension</a>
411 by adding the <code>supported_locales</code> attribute
412 to the <code>external_extensions.json</code>.
413 </li>
414 </ul>
415
416 <h4> Changes to existing APIs </h4>
417 <ul>
418 <li>The methods <code>getAllInWindow()</code> and
419 <code>getSelected()</code> have been deprecated.
420 To get details about all tabs in the specified window, use
421 <a href="tabs.html#method-query">chrome.tabs.query()</a>
422 with the argument <code>{'windowId': windowID}</code>.
423 To get the tab that is selected in the specified window, use
424 <code>chrome.tabs.query()</code>
425 with the argument <code>{'active': true}</code>.
426 </li>
427 <li> You are no longer required
428 to specify the <code>tabID</code> for the
429 <a href="tabs.html#method-update">chrome.tabs.update()</a> method.
430 When not provided,
431 the <code>tabID</code> defaults to the selected tab of the current window.
432 </li>
433 <li>
434 External extension files on Mac OS can now be owned by users
435 within a wheel group (or an admin group).
436 </li>
437 <li>
438 The "experimental" permission is no longer required
439 for the
440 <a href="windows.html#type-Window">window "panel"</a> type.
441 By default, the "panel" type creates a popup
442 unless the <code>--enable-panels</code> flag is set.
