A new snapshot and the "v1" plan

Hi All,

A new snapshot of the Web NFC spec was published today 24 August 2015 [1]. The diff to 15 May 2015 snapshot is at [2]. Please note that the today's release is considered unstable and it does not reflect the latest discussion in GH issues. If you're interested in the bleeding edge instead, please read on:

"v1" plan:

The editors are hard at work at addressing the key open issues [3] and we should anticipate another release of the spec in the near term that provides a good base for further prototyping. The upcoming next spec release dubbed "v1" represents a forward-compatible feature set backed by good use cases for which we have consensus in the group. I'd ask the editors to label such issues with a "v1" label [4] in GH where it makes sense.

I'd like to thank the group participants and contributors for the active discussion in GH issues to date. For example, we reached consensus around the URL objects mega issue with 106(!) comments. Much of these recent efforts will be reflected in the upcoming "v1" release.

Finally, I believe feedback from prototype implementation efforts underway will provide further feedback to help improve the specification.

Thanks,

-Anssi (CG chair)
