Hi Everyone,

The 7th working draft of the Web Authentication API is officially published: https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-webauthn-20171205/. As discussed before, we are now off to the CR milestone.

At the moment, we have 25 issues (https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3ACR) and 11 PRs (https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3ACR) left on the CR milestone. If you have questions about the timeline of the CR milestone, please defer that to the chairs.

Congrats everyone on hitting a major milestone!
Angelo

I think what you mean here is simply:
"close all issues marked for CR milestone"

As we discussed on the call yesterday, 13 of the 26 presently marked for CR are labeled as _technical_  and 16 as editorial.

Great, thanks.

via this mailing list so everyone knows what's going on.

PR #702 is ready-to-merge AFAIK, and has approvals from @jcjones and
@emlun. Other reviews of course welcome.

Other than perhaps including PR #688 if the IPR check is cleared (and
since it has been reviewed by five folks and has not since changed), I
hope that we _do not_ attempt to include any other changes in WD-07 at
this time -- hasty changes at deadline are often sloppy and error-prone
(witness my sloppiness with PR #702 yesterday, sigh).

thanks,
