The   WebAssembly Working Group   has published three First Public Working Drafts: WebAssembly Core Specification – Version 2.0  describes version 2.0 of the core WebAssembly standard, a safe, portable, low-level code format designed for efficient execution and compact representation. WebAssembly JavaScript Interface – Version 2.0  provides an explicit JavaScript API for interacting with WebAssembly. WebAssembly Web API – Version 2.0  describes the integration of WebAssembly with the broader web platform. The WebAssembly Working Group maintains  a list of proposals finished since the last Recommendation  and monitors the progress of  “in-flight” proposals .

  We are able today to confirm that W3C’s annual conference, the Technical Plenary and Advisory Committee meeting known as “TPAC” will be held as a  hybrid meeting  on 12-16 September 2022. The main in-person hub will be at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre in Canada and we are also planning to have a hub in China to provide an in-person gathering place to support a minimum number of sessions. Our main goal for this meeting is to ensure the safety of our onsite attendees and make sure that all the participants, whether remote or in-person, have a fruitful and valuable experience. The usual group meetings and breakout sessions will take place as well as other type of sessions. We expect registration to open early July. We are in the process of optimizing the many aspects of the whole event in order to accommodate the hybrid format, and so will share in the coming weeks details on the agenda, the hotel rooms booking, the registration fees and the health rules.
