CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1 Draft Published

   6 August 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4914>

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
   Working Draft of "CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1." This CSS
   module defines a two-dimensional grid-based layout system,
   optimized for user interface design. In the grid layout model,
   the children of a grid container can be positioned into
   arbitrary slots in a flexible or fixed predefined layout grid.
   CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured
   documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in
   speech, etc. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Two Notes Published by the Voice Browser Working Group

   6 August 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4912>

   The Voice Browser Working Group has published two Group Notes:

   <http://www.w3.org/Voice/>

   "XPath Data Model for SCXML" : This document describes the
   XPath Data Model for SCXML (SCXML). This data model allows
   SCXML state charts to use XML as their data representation, and
   to manipulate it with XPath. For more details on data models,
   see the SCXML specification.

   <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-xpath-dm-20150806/>

   "DOM Event I/O Processor for SCXML" : This document describes
   the DOM Event I/O Processor for SCXML (SCXML). This event
   processor allows SCXML state machines to communicate with
   external entities via DOM Events. For more details on Event I/O
   Processors, see the SCXML specification.

Call for Review: XQuery and XPath Full Text 3.0 Proposed
Recommendation

   6 August 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4919>

   The XML Query Working Group and the XSLT Working Group have
   published a Proposed Recommendation of "XQuery and XPath Full
   Text 3.0." This document defines the syntax and formal
   semantics of XQuery and XPath Full Text 3.0, which is a
   language that extends XQuery 3.0 (XQuery 3.0: An XML Query
   Language) and XPath 3.0 (XML Path Language (XPath) 3.0) with
   full-text search capabilities. Learn more about the XML
   Activity.

Runtime and Security Model for Web Applications Note Published

   6 August 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4917>

   The System Applications Working Group has published a Group
   Note of "Runtime and Security Model for Web Applications."
   This document specifies a runtime and security model for Web
   Applications. It describes how an application is defined
   through an application manifest, and how it can be installed,
   updated and packaged. It also specifies how such an application
   can be put into the background, be put back in the foreground
   or woken up. Finally, the document describes the security model
   for such applications. This includes the permission model and
   the different security rules that would apply. Learn more about
   the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

WebIDL Level 1 Draft Published

   4 August 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4909>

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "WebIDL Level 1." This document defines an interface
   definition language, Web IDL, that can be used to describe
   interfaces that are intended to be implemented in web browsers.
   Web IDL is an IDL variant with a number of features that allow
   the behavior of common script objects in the web platform to be
   specified more readily. How interfaces described with Web IDL
   correspond to constructs within ECMAScript execution
   environments is also detailed in this document. It is expected
   that this document acts as a guide to implementers of
   already-published specifications, and that newly published
   specifications reference this document to ensure conforming
   implementations of interfaces are interoperable. Learn more
   about the Rich Web Client Activity.

   4 August 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4905>

   imperative mechanism which allows web developers to instruct a
   user agent to clear a user’s locally stored data related to a
   host and its subdomains. Learn more about the Security
   Activity.
