WebAssembly
WebAssembly is a low-level binary format for executable code on the web. It is a standards-based supplement to JavaScript. It is secure, portable, and designed to be fast and efficient. To learn more about what WebAssembly is, and what it isn’t, see “Assembling WebAssembly”.

Auto-Play Improvements
Safari prevents auto-play of media with sound on most websites. Users can control which websites are allowed to auto-play video and audio by opening the new “Websites” preferences pane, or through the “Settings for This Website…” option in the Safari Technology Preview menu. We recommended that web developers test their websites with these new behaviors, ensuring any custom media controls behave correctly when auto-play is disabled, either automatically or by the user.

Many more WebKit features in Safari 11 are present in this release of Safari Technology Preview and have been in past releases. You can learn more about what’s new in Safari 11 from the Apple Developer website.
