Status of the Document


This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/.

This document was published by the Second Screen Working Group as a Candidate Recommendation. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. Comments regarding this document are welcome. Please send them to public-secondscreen@w3.org (subscribe, archives). W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to indicate that the document is believed to be stable and to encourage implementation by the developer community. This Candidate Recommendation is expected to advance to Proposed Recommendation no earlier than 04 July 2017.

Please see the Working Group's implementation report.

Since publication as Candidate Recommendation on 14 July 2016, the Working Group updated most algorithms in the spec to fix issues identified through testing and implementation feedback. Interfaces defined in this document did not change, except PresentationConnectionClosedReason and PresentationConnectionClosedEvent, which were renamed to improve consistency with the rest of the Web platform. The API was also restricted to secure contexts. See the list of changes for details.

No feature has been identified as being at risk.

The Second Screen Working Group will refine the test suite for the Presentation API during the Candidate Recommendation period and update the preliminary implementation report. For this specification to advance to Proposed Recommendation, two independent, interoperable implementations of each feature must be demonstrated, as detailed in the Candidate Recommendation exit criteria section.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
