Frame Timing Draft Published
24 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5027>
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Frame Timing," which now uses a slow-only frames strategy.
This specification defines an interface for web applications to
access runtime performance information of the browser event
loop, enabling them to identify and fix issues that cause
delayed rendering, processing of input, and other critical work
necessary to deliver a smooth and responsive user experience.

Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0 is a W3C
Recommendation
24 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5021>
The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has
published a W3C Recommendation of "Authoring Tool Accessibility
Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0." ATAG 2.0 provides guidelines for
designing web content authoring tools that are both more
accessible to authors with disabilities; and are designed to
enable, support, and promote the production of more accessible
web content by all authors. "Implementing ATAG 2.0" has been
published as a Working Group Note.

Web Workers Draft Published
24 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5017>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Web Workers." This specification defines an API that
allows Web application authors to spawn background workers
running scripts in parallel to their main page. This allows for
thread-like operation with message-passing as the coordination
mechanism.

Three First Public Working Drafts Published by the Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) WG
22 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5009>
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
three Working Drafts:
<http://www.w3.org//www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members>
* CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 4: This specification
describes user interface related properties and values to
style HTML and XML (including XHTML). It includes and
extends user interface related features from the properties
and values of previous CSS levels. It uses various
properties and values to style basic user interface
elements in a document.
* CSS Text Module Level 4: This module defines properties for
text manipulation and specifies their processing model. It
covers line breaking, justification and alignment, white
space handling, and text transformation.
* CSS Round Display Level 1: This document describes CSS
extensions to support a round display. It extends existing
CSS features including Media Queries, CSS Shapes, Borders,
and Positioned Layout. The extensions will help web authors
to build a web page suitable for a round display.
One Draft and One Note Published by the Web Performance WG
22 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5007>
The Web Performance Working Group has published two documents:
<http://www.w3.org//www.w3.org/2010/webperf/>
* A Working Draft of Beacon: This specification defines an
interoperable means for site developers to asynchronously
transfer small HTTP data from the User Agent to a web
server.
* A Group Note of Timing control for script-based animations:
This document defines an API web page authors can use to
write script-based animations where the user agent is in
control of limiting the update rate of the animation. The
user agent is in a better position to determine the ideal
animation rate based on whether the page is currently in a
foreground or background tab, what the current load on the
CPU is, and so on. Using this API should therefore result
in more appropriate utilization of the CPU by the browser.
