Web Audio API is a W3C Recommendation
17 June 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9093>
The Audio Working Group has published "Web Audio API" as a W3C Recommendation. This specification describes a high-level Web API for creating, shaping, and processing audio directly in a Web browser or in web applications.
<https://www.w3.org/2011/audio/>
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/REC-webaudio-20210617/>
With the API standardized and deployed as a royalty-free feature in Web browsers and other devices and platforms, both on desktop and mobile, creating sound with the Web Audio API has become a dependable, widely available, built-in capability, eliminating the need to install plugins or download separate applications. You may read more in our Press Release.

The World Wide Web Consortium published the Authorized Norwegian Translation of "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1," Retningslinjer for universell utforming av nettinnhold (WCAG) 2.1. The Lead Translation Organization for this Authorized Translation was the Digitaliseringsdirektoratet (Norwegian Digitalisation Agency).

Translations in other languages are listed in WCAG 2 Translations. W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) particularly encourages the development of Authorized Translations of WCAG 2.1 and other technical specifications to facilitate their adoption and implementation internationally.

First Public Working Draft of MiniApp Lifecycle
15 June 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9097>
The MiniApps Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "MiniApp Lifecycle." This specification defines the MiniApp lifecycle events and the process to manage MiniApp and each page’s lifecycle. Implementing this specification enables the user agent to manage the lifecycle events of both the global application lifecycle and the page lifecycle.

The Working Group welcomes comments via the GitHub repository issues.

Updated Candidate Recommendation: Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0
15 June 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9100>
The Decentralized Identifier Working Group has just published a second Candidate Recommendation Snapshot for the "Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0."
<https://www.w3.org/2019/did-wg/>
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/CR-did-core-20210615/>
This document defines Decentralized identifiers (DIDs), a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. Each DID document can express cryptographic material, verification methods, or services, which provide a set of mechanisms enabling a DID controller to prove control of the DID.
Candidate Recommendation means that the Working Group considers the technical design to be complete, and is seeking implementation feedback on the document. The group is keen to get comments and implementation experiences on this specification as issues raised in the document’s Github repository.
<https://github.com/w3c/did-core/>
The group expects to satisfy the implementation goals (i.e., at least two, independent implementations for each of the test cases) by July 17, 2021.
