Updated Candidate Recommendation for CSS Images Module Level 3

   10 October 2019
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7986>

   The CSS Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Images Module Level 3." This module contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to the "<image>" type and some replaced elements. It includes and extends the functionality of CSS level 2 "[CSS2]." The main extensions compared to CSS2.1 are the generalization of the "<url>" type to the <image> type, several additions to the <image> type, a generic sizing algorithm for images and other replaced content in CSS, definitions for interpolating several <image> types, and several properties controlling the interaction of replaced elements and CSS’s layout models.
