Widget Updates Note, Introduction to Web Components Draft Published

The Web Applications Working Group has published two documents today:

• A Group Note of Widget Updates. This specification defines a process and a document format to allow a user agent to update an installed widget package with a different version of a widget package. A widget cannot automatically update itself; instead, a widget relies on the user agent to manage the update process. The working group reached consensus to stop work on this specification. It is published for archival reasons and no longer progresses along the W3C's Recommendation Track.
• A Working Draft of Introduction to Web Components. This document is a non-normative reference, which provides an overview of Web Components. It summarizes the normative information in the respective specifications in easy-to-digest prose with illustrations.
