Welcome to our newest Living Standard, @urlpatterns! blog.whatwg.org/url-pattern-st…

How do you pronounce "WHATWG"?

Recently @nomsternom has been tackling technical debt across the @fetchstandard, @htmlstandard, and @webperfwg specs. Here's his post about this retro-specification journey on the WHATWG blog: blog.whatwg.org/retro-specifyi…

Welcome to our new Living Standards: @webidl, @testutils, @whatsockets, and (soon) @whatfilesystem! blog.whatwg.org/new-living-sta…

Allow particular Range header values without a CORS preflight (thanks jakearchibald!) github.com/whatwg/fetch/c…

Aside from @webidl we also added @testutils today. Test Utils will standardize functionality for more involved cross-browser tests.

🎉 (Changes to Web IDL can be tracked via @webidl.)

Add a "cancel" event for when file upload selection is unchanged github.com/whatwg/html/co…

Add roundRect() canvas method (thanks mysteryDate!) github.com/whatwg/html/co…

Introduce CSS module scripts (thanks dandclark!) github.com/whatwg/html/co…

Are you a library author that does "scheduling" of functions of some sort? Maybe those functions throw exceptions, and you'd like to catch report those in the same way the browser does for event listeners? If so, chime in with your use case in github.com/whatwg/html/pu….

Have you ever wanted a browser-native and performant deep-copy in Javascript? That even works with newer stuff like Maps and Sets? If so, you can leave a comment here on why that would be useful for you! Please useful comments only, not just "+1"s #issuecomment-853998618" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/whatwg/html/pu…

During form submission, newlines get normalized to CRLF. That newline normalization is more complex than you might think. Here is a deep dive on the recent @htmlstandard changes in that area: blog.whatwg.org/newline-normal…

Add createConicGradient() to CanvasRenderingContext2D (thanks yiyix!) github.com/whatwg/html/co…

Add color space support for 2D canvas and ImageData (thanks ccameron-chromium!) github.com/whatwg/html/co…

Add policy container (thanks antosart!) github.com/whatwg/html/co…

Add more text modifier properties to 2d canvas (thanks yiyix!) github.com/whatwg/html/co…
