Time flies!
Since my last update on Chrome 44 we had the chance to see the market crash and quite a lot of new features that were baked into Chrome 45.
The main improvements you should take a closer look at:

• A set of new ES2015 features including:
  • Arrow functions – Arrow functions are always anonymous and effectively turn function (arguments) { expression } into arguments => expression.
  • New methods on Array
  • New methods on TypedArray
  • Object.assign() copies the values (of all enumerable own properties) from one or more source objects to a target object.
    It has a signature of Object.assign(target, ...sources)
• SMIL is deprecated – to learn more please check out the discussion.
• This (long time) bug is fixed.
• Web Bluetooth is now available in Chrome OS 45.
  It’s still in Developer Preview and the team is actively looking for developer feedback.
