Timeline and Versions until 2024
- Post-HTML5: After HTML5.2, the concept of version numbers has been largely abandoned in favor of a living standard approach. The W3C continuously updates the HTML specification with new features, elements, and APIs based on consensus and real-world requirements.
- 2020s Developments: The focus has been on enhancing the semantic capabilities of the web, improving accessibility, integrating new APIs for web applications, and pushing for greater interoperability and performance across browsers and devices.
