Key highlights of this release are as follows.

From this release onward, webOS OSE supports 2 versions of webengine: chromium53(default) and chromium68(work in progress).

chromium68 is the latest version of webOS webengine which is still work in progress.
chromium53 is still the default webruntime for webOS OSE
chromium68 is the new version under development, that will replace chromium53 in future as official webruntime of webOS OSE.
Many features supported in chromium53 are already migrated to chromium68, but there are still some features under development.
v8 is now split as separate repo for chromium68. Recipes take care of checking out v8 under chromium68 source tree under chromium68/src/v8
You need Ubuntu 18.04 to avoid any build errors.
