# Formal Objections
None

# Any changes in implementation information?
The major change is that Firefox has implemented most of Audio Worklet, which was the large technical change which held up the previous CR. Internal builds not pass most of the Chrome tests for Audio Worklet. Additional tests for edge cases are being developed by Mozilla and added to WPT. Full compliance is expected by the end of 2019.
Chromium implements almost all of Web Audio API. A few remaining things are being added by Google and Microsoft engineers.
The previous Microsoft implementation in Edge is now abandoned.
The Apple implementation remains unmaintained, with no updates for some years.

# Deadline for further comments
3 months

# Any changes in patent disclosures?
None
