Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate Released

Yesterday Microsoft released their Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate. If you’re interested, head on over hereto download. If you’ve used the beta, there are quite a few new things different. One of the most major things is that it’s faster. Another big thing is that you can now separate the tabs from the address bar if you’d like to. A Microsoft spokesperson said, “IE9 RC supports additional emerging Web standards including CSS3 2D Transforms, HTML5 Geolocation and a set of HTML5 semantic elements. We’ve added support for the HTML5 canvas global­Composite­Operation property and improved the performance of canvas’s Canvas­Pixel­Array. We’ve updated IE9 RC to reflect changes to the DOM events and added accessibility to the HTML5 audio and video controls. These additions reflect our pattern of implementing site ready HTML5 while ensuring developers can experiment with new and emerging specifications through our HTML5 Labs. As these specifications become stable, you can expect we will implement them in IE as we have throughout the development of IE9.”
