WebKit, the first browser technology to pass the Acid3 test, now supports some new CSS 3 features of great interest to web developers.
The biggie is web fonts are implemented! This means you can use any TrueType font you wish. You link to the font file from the CSS stylesheet and the font is served to the viewers' browsers. However, there are known security vulnuerabilities in this, so for Miva stores you'll need to upload the font to a secure directory and use relative links. Some early sample websites using webfonts are simply stunning.
The next biggie is CSS animation effects are now implemented in WebKit. This is kinda hard to explain but basically you can transition from one CSS property to another and control how the transition occurs, how long it takes, etc. You can even use bezier acceleration curves and paths for some very advanced effects.
Another one in high demand is multiple background images are now implemented in WebKit. We've all been looking for this one to come out for a long time.
Additional goodies are CSS Reflections, CSS Masks, faster javascript, embedded 3D, heck, just go see for yourself!
