> Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
> Chairs,
> 
> It is my pleasure to announce that the following documents are now W3C Recommendations:
> 
> * Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.1
>   https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-wai-aria-1.1-20171214/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-wai-aria-1.1-20171214/>
> 
> * Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1
>   https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-core-aam-1.1-20171214/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-core-aam-1.1-20171214/>
> 
> * Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0
>   https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-dpub-aria-1.0-20171214/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-dpub-aria-1.0-20171214/>
> 
> * Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings
>   https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-dpub-aam-1.0-20171214/ <https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-dpub-aam-1.0-20171214/>

> WAI-ARIA 1.1 adds a variety of new features that were identified as needs since WAI-ARIA 1.0 was completed. These include a static table model to complement the dynamic grid model provided in WAI-ARIA 1.0, supporting news feeds and modal dialog boxes, better supporting labeling and extended descriptions, allowing authors to indicate keyboard shortcuts and custom role types, and refining the owned roles model and set of properties for many ARIA features. Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Roles takes this further to provide roles for types of content that often appears in digital publications. Core Accessibility API Mappings and Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings describe how these features should be mapped to the features of Accessibility APIs specific to various platforms that user use to access web content.
