Call for Review: Indexed Database API Proposed Recommendation
Published

   20 November 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4194

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Proposed
   Recommendation of "Indexed Database API." This document
   defines APIs for a database of records holding simple values
   and hierarchical objects. Each record consists of a key and
   some value. Moreover, the database maintains indexes over
   records it stores. An application developer directly uses an
   API to locate records either by their key or by using an index.
   A query language can be layered on this API. An indexed
   database can be implemented using a persistent B-tree data
   structure. Comments are welcome through 18 December. Learn more
   about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Service Workers Draft Published

   18 November 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4190

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Service Workers." This specification describes a
   method that enables applications to take advantage of
   persistent background processing, including hooks to enable
   bootstrapping of web applications while offline. The core of
   this system is an event-driven Web Worker, which responds to
   events dispatched from documents and other sources. A system
   for managing installation, versions, and upgrades is provided.
   The service worker is a generic entry point for event-driven
   background processing in the Web Platform that is extensible by
   other specifications. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
   Activity.
