News, features and releases

It was our 5th birthday last week and we are happy to announce some new features. Development has been slow. In retrospect this is a good thing for something that purports to be a standard. We didn't make any radical changes which kept the ecosystem stable. The community still exists due to many members contributing above and beyond.
