From InfoWorld: Microsoft's Internet Explorer Developer Channel, revealed Monday, is providing developers a sneak peek at upcoming improvements planned for its browser, with the focus now on WebDriver and WebGL support.
Featuring a fully functioning browser, IE Developer Channel is available for both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1. It includes support for the WebDriver standard, in which Web developers can write tests to automate Web browsers to test their sites, and it has updated WebGL JavaScript API backing with support for 16-bit textures, GLSL built-in variables, and triangle fans. WebGL offers rendering via the canvas element.
IE Developer Channel features improvements to F12 developer tools for building and debugging Web pages, such as event breakpoints intended to help developers find event-driven bugs quicker, richer analysis via Memory and UI Responsiveness profilers, and an improved navigation experience. It also supports the Gamepad API standard for using JavaScript to add gamepad support to applications and games; developers can try it via an Xbox 360 controller.
