   The Web Application Security Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "Fetch Metadata Request Headers."

First Public Working Draft: CSS Animation Worklet API

   25 June 2019
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7830>

   The CSS Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "CSS Animation Worklet API." The "Animation Worklet" API provides a method to create scripted animations that control a set of animation effects. The API is designed to make it possible for user agents to run such animations in their own dedicated thread to provide a degree of performance isolation from main thread.
