Project Gutenberg turns 54!
On July 4, 1971, Michael Hart had the idea of using a computer to read and enjoy literature. This innovation led to the creation of Project Gutenberg, which continues to thrive today.

The Math Working Group has published MathML Core as a W3C Candidate Recommendation.
This spec defines a core subset of MathML, that is suitable for browser implementation. MathML is a markup language for describing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content. The goal of MathML is to enable mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the World Wide Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality for text.

The @w3c MathML Core specification, now at #CandidateRecommendation status, defines a core subset of the #MathML 3 specification designed for reliable, interoperable web browser support. It focuses on mathematical notation rendering, tightly integrating with #HTML, #CSS, and DOM standards to ensure consistency, testability, and minimal implementation complexity. #timetoimplement

The Third Edition of Portable Network Graphics (PNG) today became a W3C Standard.
It adds support for High Dynamic Range (HDR), and adds Animated PNG to the official standard.
This document describes PNG (Portable Network Graphics), an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of static and animated raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, greyscale, and truecolor images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits.
ARETE — Visual History of the Latin Alphabet
An AmperSand, from the southernmost beach/shore of East Lothian - I'm not sure it actually has a name, but maybe Dunglass Beach? - this afternoon.
I always make these below the line of high tide, and it was particularly pleasing to walk past later and watch the sea in the process of reclaiming it.
