First Public Working Draft: Indexed Database API 3.0

   11 March 2021
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8944>

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "Indexed Database API 3.0." This document defines APIs for a database of records holding simple values and hierarchical objects. Each record consists of a key and some value. Moreover, the database maintains indexes over records it stores. An application developer directly uses an API to locate records either by their key or by using an index. A query language can be layered on this API. An indexed database can be implemented using a persistent B-tree data structure.

   <https://www.w3.org/2019/webapps/>
   <https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/WD-IndexedDB-3-20210311/>

   This is the Third Edition of Indexed Database API, which is intended to supersede Indexed Database API 2.0.

   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8939>

   The Timed Text (TT) Working Group invites implementation of its updated Candidate Recommendation of "Timed Text Markup Language 2 (TTML2) (2nd Edition)." This document specifies the Second Edition of the Timed Text Markup Language (TTML), Version 2, also known as TTML2 (2e), in terms of a vocabulary and semantics thereof. The Timed Text Markup Language is a content type that represents timed text media for the purpose of interchange among authoring systems. Timed text is textual information that is intrinsically or extrinsically associated with timing information. It is intended to be used for the purpose of transcoding or exchanging timed text information among legacy distribution content formats presently in use for subtitling and captioning functions.
