>>The W3C EPUB 3 Community Group is pleased to announce their approval

>>EPUB 3.2 is a minor revision of the EPUB 3 specification, which can be

>>not receive wide adoption, and the Community Group decided to create
>>EPUB 3.2 to be strongly backward-compatible with EPUB 3.0.1, while

>>http://epubsecrets.com/why-specs-change-epub-3-2-and-the-evolution-of-the

>>ebook-ecosystem.php.
>>
>>EPUB 3.2 should not impact existing content or workflows. All valid
>>EPUB 3.0.1 files will also be valid EPUB 3.2 files. The Community
>>Group has written a summary of the changes at
>>https://w3c.github.io/publ-epub-revision/epub32/spec/epub-changes.html.
>>Some highlights include:
>>
>>1. The specification has been reorganized, and sometimes rewritten, to
>>be easier to read.
>>
>>2. EPUB 3.2 is now based on undated references to HTML, CSS, and SVG,
>>so that EPUB 3 can evolve as those specs evolve.
>>
>>3. EPUB 3.2 now recommends that all publications conform to the EPUB
>>Accessibility Specification.
>>
>>4. epub:switch, epub:trigger, and bindings are deprecated, but still
>>supported.
>>
>>5. WOFF 2.0 fonts and SFNT fonts are now core media types.
>>
>>6. Any value of the epub:type attribute is now allowed, although
>>authors should still use the structural semantics vocabulary.
>>
>>Please let me know if you have any questions.
