The  Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group  has published First Public Working Drafts of  Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.2  (WAI-ARIA),  Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.2  (Core-AAM), and  WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.2  (ARIA APG). WAI-ARIA 1.2 continues development of the technology after ARIA 1.1 was completed in December 2017. This version focuses primarily on providing roles to match features of HTML, which is needed by technologies such as  Web Components  and  Accessible Object Model . Core-AAM 1.2 provides accessibility API mappings for these new roles, and ARIA Practices 1.2 describes recommended authoring patterns for these new roles.
