The CSS WG has published an updated Candidate Recommendation of the CSS Flexible Box Layout Module Level 1: http://www.w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1/ Flexbox is a new layout model for CSS. The contents of a flex container can be laid out in any direction, can be reordered, can be aligned and justified within their container, and can "flex" their sizes and positions to respond to the available space. We expect this model to be particularly useful for UI layouts. This is an update to the May 2015 LCWD that closes the "Proposed Edited Candiate Recommendation" LC cycle [1], and puts Flexbox into the new W3C Process at the Candidate Recommendation level. A side-effect of this process has been to show the slowing rate of issues filed against Flexbox as the spec has matured (which allowed us to hit zero issues long enough to re-transition to CR). Exact diff-marked changes, and their justifications, for the entire CR revision cycle (since the original CR in 2012) are available in the changes section: https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/CR-css-flexbox-1-20160301/#changes A Disposition of Comments resulting in the latest changes is also available: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox-1/issues-lc-20150514 Please send any further comments on Flexbox to this mailing list, <www-style@w3.org>, and please, prefix the subject line with [css-flexbox] as I did on this message. (Note also that this spec is the first spec to be published with the new /TR style sheets. If you have comments on the new style, please file them at https://github.com/w3c/tr-design or send them to spec-prod@w3.org or email them to fantasai.) Lots of thanks to the implementers who have been working with the spec, and with us, to improve the state of the spec together with their implementations. This module has not been easy to produce, and we are very grateful for their hard work, intelligence, and diligence in helping us build a new layout system for the Web.
