16:04:59 <Vlad> scribenick: Garret
16:06:32 <Garret> Vlad: main topic is proposed woff2 recommendation update.
16:06:56 <Garret> Vlad: background on woff2 overlaps flags.
16:07:34 <Garret> Vlad: when we made the preprocessing steps that flag was lost due to optimizations.
16:08:00 <Garret> Vlad: works for most, but not all rasterizers.
16:08:20 <Garret> Vlad: first reported in 2018
16:08:32 <Garret> Vlad: now we've found a relatively easy fix to resolve it.
16:08:49 <Garret> Vlad: fix is in email with specific edits.
16:09:13 <Garret> Vlad: one action item was for Garret to do a test run and see if modified font would remain backwards compatible.
16:09:27 <Garret> Vlad: that looks to be true.
16:09:44 <Garret> Vlad: so old decoders will ignore the data. New ones will see it.
16:09:57 <Garret> Vlad: only further changes is naming of the bit array field.
16:10:46 <Garret> Vlad: any objections?
16:10:52 <chris> changes look good to me
16:11:22 <Garret> no objections
16:11:28 <chris> where is the test?
16:11:49 <Garret> Vlad: chris can elaborate further on candidate recommendations.
16:12:23 <Garret> Chris: previous process when you publish recommendation there's a link to a errata document. Eventually those can be patched in. Then proposed req, ac review.
16:12:32 <Garret> Chris: this is confusing to some.
16:12:52 <Vlad> Previously issued errata: https://www.w3.org/Fonts/REC-WOFF2-20180301-errata.html
16:13:03 <Garret> Chris: so there's now a new option. You republish a recommendation, you can see the old text and new text.
16:13:14 <Garret> Chris: since errata are difficult to read.
16:13:27 <Garret> Chris: only one or two specifications that have done this.
16:13:38 <Garret> Chris: you need to add insert/delete elements in the mark to show the changes.
16:14:11 <Garret> Chris: you have candidate corrections with minimum 60 day reviews. After that you can actually make the changes and make them normative.
16:14:38 <Garret> Chris: this is a good way forward as the spec remains also a recommendation.
16:15:05 <Garret> Vlad: the review period, can it be longer? is there any benefit?
16:15:13 <Garret> Chris: depends on the scope and size of the change.
16:15:28 <chris> https://www.w3.org/Fonts/REC-WOFF2-20180301-errata.html
16:15:28 <Garret> Chris: I think 60 days for this small change is fine.
16:15:46 <Garret> Chris: we already have one errata, so we should include that as. well.
16:16:16 <Garret> Chris: we need a specific resolution to publish recomendation.
16:16:50 <Garret> Vlad: we decided that a 60 day review period is acceptable and the group has agreed to publish the recommendation.
16:17:37 <chris> Resolved: publish updated Recommendation of WOFF2 wth candidate corrections
16:18:57 <Garret> Vlad: ask that everyone review the proposed changes.
16:19:13 <Garret> Vlad: two additional paragraphs will following existing bounding box paragraphs.
16:20:10 <Garret> I'm planning to make the proposed code changes to the woff2 decoder/encoder.
16:21:15 <Garret> Chris: Vlad should have access to make the changes.
16:22:14 <Garret> Vlad: next call on 22nd of June.
