Updated Candidate Recommendation: Web Audio API
14 January 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8867>
The Audio Working Group invites implementation of an 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 Drafts: EPUB 3.3
12 January 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8859>
The EPUB 3 Working Group has published four First Public Working Drafts today for EPUB 3.3. This technology defines a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. The EPUB format provides a means of representing, packaging, and encoding structured and semantically enhanced Web content — including HTML, CSS, SVG, and other resources — for distribution in a single-file container.
<https://www.w3.org//publishing/groups/epub-wg/>
The specification represents the third major revision and, in particular, a revision of the EPUB 3.2 document published by the EPUB 3 Community Group. This new version of the specification is now on a W3C Recommendation Track.
<https://www.w3.org/publishing/epub32/epub-spec>
The four documents published by the Working Group are:
* The EPUB 3.3 specification defines the authoring requirements for EPUB Publications and represents the third major revision of the standard.
* The EPUB 3.3 Reading Systems specification defines the conformance requirements for EPUB 3 Reading Systems — the user agents that render EPUB Publications.
* The EPUB Multiple-Rendition Publications 1.1 specification defines the creation and rendering of EPUB Publications consisting of more than one Rendition. This document is not on recommendation track.
* The EPUB 3 Overview gives a high level overview of the EPUB 3.3 specification aimed primarily at non-technical readers. This document is not on recommendation track.
The Working Group welcomes comments via the GitHub repository issues.
