Updated Candidate Recommendation: Web Audio API

   11 June 2020
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8598>

   The Audio Working Group invites implementation of its updated Candidate Recommendation of "Web Audio API." This specification describes a high-level Web API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing graph, where a number of "AudioNode" objects are connected together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual processing will primarily take place in the underlying implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code), but "direct script processing and synthesis" is also supported.

First Public Working Draft: Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby

   9 June 2020
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8593>

   The Internationalization Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby." This document provides a simple set of rules for placement of Ruby text in Japanese typography that can be used as a minimum baseline for implementers and specification writers. It was developed by the JLReq (Japanese Layout) Task Force as a companion to Requirements for Japanese Text Layout 日本語組版処理の要件（日本語版）.

   Ruby is the name given to the small annotations in Japanese content that are rendered alongside base text, usually to provide a pronunciation guide, but sometimes to provide other information.
