Here's a brief assortment of svg news from June. I don't think any of you missed that the final public version of Opera 9.5 was released, but if you did, nothing is stopping you from picking it up via bittorrent.
- Jeff Schiller (Motorola) has been appointed co-Chair of the SVG Interest Group. The SVG IG is chartered to produce supplementary documents for the improvement, adoption, and evangelism of SVG; and to foster the engagement of the SVG community, both members and public, in W3C activities. Congratulations Jeff!
- Opera Mini adds SVG support in their latest server upgrade. Great news for everyone that wants to efficiently use scalable web graphics anywhere.
- Robert O'Callahan (Mozilla) writes:
I'll just let his work speak for itself.One of the problems with the standards-based Web is that it's hard to use SVG's features to enhance HTML content. [...] So I've been experimenting with better ways to apply SVG effects to HTML content. The first step is to make SVG's 'clip-path', 'mask' and 'filter' properties work when applied to HTML content.
