New release of mobile roadmap (August 2015)

Hi,

I've just released the August 2015 edition of the mobile standards roadmap:
    http://www.w3.org/2015/08/mobile-web-app-state/

It document the following change since May:
> Emerging Work
>
>         The early work on a generic sensor API is now emboddied in an editors draft
>         A proposal to enable CSS transitions between Web pages was brought to the CSS Working Group
>         A proposal to detect the input-capabilities of devices (in particular their ability to react to touch) was brought to the Web Applications Working Group
>         The Web Performance Working Group is considering the definition of a callback mechanism for scheduling function calls and has a proposed editors draft for it;
>         A charter for a Web Payments Working Group has been proposed; the group would work on a browser API that would vastly simpiflify payments on the Web
>         A draft charter for a Hardware Security Working Group is being developed; it would bring interaction with secure hardware modules to the Web platform
>
> Published as First Public Working Draft
>
>         The Geofencing API, enabling developers to be notified when the user enters specific geographical areas, was published as a First Public Working Draft
>         The Entry Point Regulation specification, which provides another layer of protection against common attack vectors such as cross-site-script or cross-site request forgery, was published as First Public Working Draft
>         The Preload specification, which offers a way to load stylesheets and scripts immediately, but defer their application, was published as a First Public Working Draft
>
> Returned to Working Draft
>
>         The Proximity Events and Ambient Light Events APIs went back to Working Draft status (respectively from Candidate Recommendation and Last Call status) based on the expectation of their significant rework to match the emerging generic sensor API work
>
> Reached Candidate Recommendation
>
>         The Canvas API, a programmatic graphics API, re-entered Candidate Recommendation phase after it had gone back to Last Call following a substantive change
>         The Tracking Preference Expression (DNT) specification, which defines a mechanism for expressing the user’s preference regarding tracking, reached Candidate Recommendation status
>
> Specification merged, split or abandoned
>
>         The System Applications Working Group closed, and work on the Contacts Manager API and the Task Scheduler API has stopped as for the other specifications from this group;

As always, contributions to the next release are welcome on
