CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1 Draft Published
6 August 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4914>
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1." This CSS
module defines a two-dimensional grid-based layout system,
optimized for user interface design. In the grid layout model,
the children of a grid container can be positioned into
arbitrary slots in a flexible or fixed predefined layout grid.
CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured
documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in
speech, etc. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Two Notes Published by the Voice Browser Working Group
6 August 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4912>
The Voice Browser Working Group has published two Group Notes:
<http://www.w3.org/Voice/>
"XPath Data Model for SCXML" : This document describes the
XPath Data Model for SCXML (SCXML). This data model allows
SCXML state charts to use XML as their data representation, and
to manipulate it with XPath. For more details on data models,
see the SCXML specification.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-xpath-dm-20150806/>
"DOM Event I/O Processor for SCXML" : This document describes
the DOM Event I/O Processor for SCXML (SCXML). This event
processor allows SCXML state machines to communicate with
external entities via DOM Events. For more details on Event I/O
Processors, see the SCXML specification.

Call for Review: XQuery and XPath Full Text 3.0 Proposed
Recommendation
6 August 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4919>
The XML Query Working Group and the XSLT Working Group have
published a Proposed Recommendation of "XQuery and XPath Full
Text 3.0." This document defines the syntax and formal
semantics of XQuery and XPath Full Text 3.0, which is a
language that extends XQuery 3.0 (XQuery 3.0: An XML Query
Language) and XPath 3.0 (XML Path Language (XPath) 3.0) with
full-text search capabilities. Learn more about the XML
Activity.

Runtime and Security Model for Web Applications Note Published
6 August 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4917>
The System Applications Working Group has published a Group
Note of "Runtime and Security Model for Web Applications."
This document specifies a runtime and security model for Web
Applications. It describes how an application is defined
through an application manifest, and how it can be installed,
updated and packaged. It also specifies how such an application
can be put into the background, be put back in the foreground
or woken up. Finally, the document describes the security model
for such applications. This includes the permission model and
the different security rules that would apply. Learn more about
the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

WebIDL Level 1 Draft Published
4 August 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4909>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "WebIDL Level 1." This document defines an interface
definition language, Web IDL, that can be used to describe
interfaces that are intended to be implemented in web browsers.
Web IDL is an IDL variant with a number of features that allow
the behavior of common script objects in the web platform to be
specified more readily. How interfaces described with Web IDL
correspond to constructs within ECMAScript execution
environments is also detailed in this document. It is expected
that this document acts as a guide to implementers of
already-published specifications, and that newly published
specifications reference this document to ensure conforming
implementations of interfaces are interoperable. Learn more
about the Rich Web Client Activity.

4 August 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4905>
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "Clear Site Data." This document defines an
imperative mechanism which allows web developers to instruct a
user agent to clear a user’s locally stored data related to a
host and its subdomains. Learn more about the Security
Activity.
