We did it! WOFF 2.0 is a Rec!

Folks,

Congratulations on doing an excellent job on WOFF 2.0, and on being a dedicated and patient bunch that had the tenacity to stick with slow (but steady) progress. Today, W3C has approved and published the WOFF 2.0 spec as a W3C Recommendation, and they also issued a media advisory [1] that emphasizes how important web fonts are as a major Web typography tool.

Special thanks to Chris Lilley who supported us every step of the way, and who wrote an excellent blog post [2] summarizing the history and challenges of web font development - from the first baby steps to its global adoption today!

Congrats! Give yourself a hug, you deserve it!
Vlad
