CSS Exclusions Draft Separation
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Exclusions.
This draft was previously part of the CSS Exclusions and Shapes specification. Exclusions and Shapes have been split out into two separate specifications, and this draft contains only the Exclusions part. A new draft of CSS Shapes will follow shortly. Future levels of these specifications will describe how these two features interact.
CSS Exclusions allows content wrapping around any element, extending this functionality that has been limited to floats.
The first level of CSS Exclusions allows wrapping around the bounding box of an exclusion. This draft includes improvements to the exclusions processing model, a new value for wrap-flow, and clarification on how exclusions interact with writing modes.
All of the changes since the last Working Draft are listed in the Changes section.
As always, please send feedback to www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-exclusions]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
CSS Regions Draft Updated
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Regions.
CSS Regions allows you to collect content in a named flow, then directly define where this content flows through boxes in a region chain.
This new draft contains many improvements to the CSSOM section, as well as scattered improvements throughout. The issues list for CSS Regions has gone from 24 in the last draft to 4 today. The region-overset property has its new name, and the flow-into property now has keywords that choose whether an element or its content is placed into a named flow. Region styling is now accessed through a ::region() pseudo-element instead of an @region rule.
All of the changes since the last Working Draft are listed in the Changes section.
As always, please send feedback to www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-regions]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
Filter Effects 1.0 Draft Updated
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of Filter Effects.
Filter Effects allow applying filter operations like blur or color matrix on any graphical element.
The current version integrates
- cleanup and bug fixes on the short hand filters,
- a new syntax for custom filters with a new at rule.
Changes since the last Working Draft are listed in the Changes section.
Please send feedback to the (archived) public mailing list public-fx@w3.org with the spec code ([filter-effects]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
CSS3 Box Alignment Update
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Box Alignment Level 3. CSS3 Box Alignment defines a common set of properties for aligning boxes within their containers in the various CSS box layout models: block layout, table layout, flex layout, and grid layout. In particular, it attempts to provide the horizontal and vetical alignment capabilities missing from CSS block layout and to tie that together with alignment models in tables, grid, and flexbox.
This draft is a revision of the previous First Public Working Draft: the range of values allowed in each alignment property has been extended and improved, and many details have been added on how exactly alignment works in various layout contexts, including absolutely-positioned layout.
Changes since the last publication are listed in the changes section. It’s still in the exploratory stages, but this revision starts the process of stabilizing the overall design.
As always, please send feedback to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-align]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)

Selectors Level 4 Updated
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of Selectors Level 4. Selectors is a pattern-matching syntax for identifying sets of elements in a document, and is used e.g. for applying CSS declarations to elements in a document tree.
Additions include some new selectors: :blank for elements that are empty or contain only white space, and :placeholder-shown for inputs that are showing a placeholder. Review and improved naming suggestions are particularly welcome on these—and also on the drag and drop pseudos.
Another important change is lifting restrictions on :matches() and :not() to accept complex selectors, and the definition of two profiles, one for CSS matching and another for less performance-intensive uses like querySelector. We particularly encourage implementers to comment on whether this split is reasonable, or whether different things should be included/excluded.
The Working Draft includes a list of changes since the previous WD.
As always, please send feedback to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([selectors]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
