W3C Invites Implementations of Geometry Interfaces Module Level 1

   25 November 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4202

   The CSS Working Group and the SVG Working Group invite
   implementations of the Candidate Recommendation of "Geometry
   Interfaces Module Level 1." This specification provides basic
   geometric interfaces to represent points, rectangles,
   quadrilaterals and transformation matrices that can be used by
   other modules or specifications. Learn more about the Style
   Activity and the Graphics Activity.

Filter Effects Module Level 1 Draft Published

   25 November 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4204

   The CSS Working Group and the SVG Working Group have published
   a Working Draft of "Filter Effects Module Level 1." Filter
   effects are a way of processing an element’s rendering before
   it is displayed in the document. Typically, rendering an
   element via CSS or SVG can conceptually be described as if the
   element, including its children, are drawn into a buffer (such
   as a raster image) and then that buffer is composited into the
   elements parent. Filters apply an effect before the compositing
   stage. Examples of such effects are blurring, changing color
   intensity and warping the image. Although originally designed
   for use in SVG, filter effects are a set of operations to apply
   on an image buffer and therefore can be applied to nearly any
   presentational environment, including CSS. They are triggered
   by a style instruction (the filter property). This
   specification describes filters in a manner that allows them to
   be used in content styled by CSS, such as HTML and SVG. It also
   defines a CSS property value function that produces a CSS
   value. Learn more about the Style Activity and the Graphics
   Activity.

   The Tracking Protection Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Tracking Compliance and Scope." This specification
   defines the meaning of a Do Not Track (DNT) preference and sets
   out practices for websites to comply with this preference.
