The Screen Orientation API Reloaded

In September I published an article titled Introducing the Screen Orientation API that, not surprisingly, discussed the Screen Orientation API. This API "provides the ability to read the screen orientation state, to be informed when this state changes, and to be able to lock the screen orientation to a specific state." As I mentioned in the article, "the Screen Orientation API is at a very early stage, as it’s a W3C Working Draft. The current specifications may be superseded in a few months by a newer version." Guess what? It happened! In fact, the last version of Chrome (38) and Opera (25) support the new version of the specifications (Firefox up to 33 still supports the old one).
