Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration Draft Updated

The Web Applications Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration, which standardizes a packaging format for software known as widgets. The specification relies on PKWare's Zip specification as the archive format, XML as a configuration document format, and provides a series of steps that widget runtimes follow when processing and verifying various aspects of a package. This updated Working Draft addresses issues reported during the first Candidate Recommendation phase (see the list of changes). Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
