HTML 5.2 is now a W3C Recommendation
The Web Platform Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of the HTML 5.2 specification that would obsolete the HTML 5.1 Recommendation.
The HTML 5.2 specification defines the 5th major version, second minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features continue to be introduced to help Web application authors, new elements continue to be introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention continues to be given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability.
The group also published a First Public Working Draft of HTML 5.3, which defines the 5th major version, third minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
WAI-ARIA 1.1, Core-AAM 1.1, DPub-ARIA 1.0, and DPub-AAM 1.0 are W3C Recommendations
The Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA)Working Group has published Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.1, Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1, Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0, and Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.0 as W3C Recommendations. WAI-ARIA provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that define accessible user interface elements and can be used to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content and applications. These semantics are designed to allow an author to properly convey user interface behaviors and structural information to assistive technologies in document-level markup. DPub-ARIA extends WAI-ARIA with roles specific to helping users of assistive technologies navigate through long-form documents used in digital publishing. DPub-AAM describes how these roles map to features of platform accessibility APIs. WAI-ARIA 1.1 is supported by WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1 which has been published as a Working Group Note. More information about these publications is available in the WAI-ARIA 1.1 is Recommendation email and the WAI-ARIA 1.1 Authoring Practices Note blog post.

Update to the Candidate Recommendation: CSS Writing Modes Level 3; First Public Working Draft: CSS Writing Modes Level 4
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of CSS Writing Modes Level 3. This document defines CSS support for various international writing modes, such as left-to-right (e.g. Latin or Indic), right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew or Arabic), bidirectional (e.g. mixed Latin and Arabic) and vertical (e.g. Asian scripts).
Along with this updated Candidate Recommendation, the group also published a First Public Working Draft of CSS Writing Modes Level 4. The difference from the CSS Writing Modes Level 3 is the set of features that were deferred from Level 3 due to later implementation uptake.
