Add the support for -webkit-text-security in Release 114

[andreydanil]

Firefox is the only widely used engine not supporting -webkit-text-security, and it seems to be in use in the wild to conceal password fields, as per this webcompat.com report. Chrome Platform Status implies that its usage is low (~0.3%), but slowly growing.

Description

whatwg/compat#240

Motivation

Fixed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1826629 and released in Firefox 114.

Hello @andreydanil, thanks for opening the PRs to update content and BCD!

We add the Firefox release specific changes to our release docs. Would it be possible for you to update that file as part of this PR (basically move the update info from webkit-text-security to releases/114? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the updates!

I've suggested a rewording here. Please cross-check for technical accuracy.

• On the content page, two things are still required:
  • In the first sentence, "webkit-text-security is a non-standard CSS property" should now be "webkit-text-security is a CSS property"
  • {{ Non-standard_header() }} needs to be removed
• I left a comment in the BCD PR.
