• Tooling issues (Ege)
  • Two new assertions : tm-versioning-2 and tm-tmOptional-resolver
  • There is a PR in the TD spec that needs merging asap at https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/pull/1715 since it helps with the tooling.
  • merged the automatic PR at https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/pull/1699 since that was causing one part of the discrepancy with manual.csv
  • When we are generating the manual.csv, we need to put quotes around “everything”. For example, when we generate the word null for the value of Status, if we do not encapsulate it in quotes, it is understood as the JS specific null and nothing is printed to the manual.csv status value. Do quotes break your tools?
