Two Drafts Published by the Device APIs Working Group

   3 September 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4954>

   The Device APIs Working Group has published two Working Drafts
   today:

   <http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/>

   "Ambient Light Events" : The DeviceLightEvent interface
   provides information about the ambient light levels, as
   detected by the device’s light detector, in terms of lux units.
   This specification defines a means to receive events that
   correspond to a light sensor detecting the presence of a light.

   <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-ambient-light-20150903/>

   "Proximity Events" : The DeviceProximityEvent interface
   provides web developers information about the distance between
   the hosting device and a nearby object. This specification
   defines a means to receive events that correspond to a
   proximity sensor detecting the presence of a physical object.

State Chart XML (SCXML): State Machine Notation for Control
Abstraction is a W3C Recommendation

   1 September 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4942>

   The Voice Browser Working Group has published a W3C
   Recommendation of "State Chart XML (SCXML): State Machine
   Notation for Control Abstraction." This document describes
   SCXML, or the “State Chart extensible Markup Language”. SCXML
   provides a generic state-machine based execution environment
   based on CCXML and Harel State Tables.
