[CSSWG][css-grid] Updated WD of CSS Grid Layout L1

The CSS WG has published an updated Working Draft of the CSS Grid
Module Level 1:

     http://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1

This module defines a new type of layout manager, the grid, which
makes it extremely easy to specify complex, responsive 2-dimensional
layouts for a page or components.

Significant changes are listed at:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-css-grid-1-20150806/#changes
And since afaict we missed announcing the last few publications,
you might also want to check
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-css-grid-1-20150317/#changes
and
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-css-grid-1-20140513/#changes

Major changes over the last year include
   * Adding row-gap/column-gap properties
   * Improving error handling and abspos rules
   * Changing the definition of auto track-sizing to check the
     min-width/height properties, and using 'min-width/height: auto'
     to implement the previous min-content minimum
   * Applying the <content-distribution> alignment values to
     grid tracks, allowing them to be spaced out and justified
   * Experimenting with a repeat-to-fill feature
       http://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/#repeat-auto
   * Lots of fixes and clarifications

There are a few open issues left, which are being tracked at
   https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid-1/issues-wd-20150806
and
   https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid-1/#issues-index

We hope to close these over the next month and issue a Last Call
for Comments (which we'd like to return zero comments, ideally
having handled all feedback in this round), so please review the
draft and the issues and send feedback! We want to make everyone
happy, but that won't happen if you complain after we're done and
everyone's already shipped their implementations, yeah? So review
now, and complain sooner rather than later. :)

Please send any comments to this mailing list, <www-style@w3.org>,
and please, prefix the subject line with
     [css-grid]
(as I did on this message).

For the CSS WG,
