OCIF 0.5 is a Candidate Recommendation

[jessmartin]

TL;DR: OCIF 0.5 has been released. The spec has reached Candidate Recommendation. Let’s implement. Next meeting tomorrow, June 3rd at noon ET.

The OCWG is promoting the spec as a Candidate Recommendation.

This means:

• The spec meets the technical requirements and is relatively complete and stable.
• In order to further validate the spec, we need feedback from implementers.
• The spec will evolve during this phase, and we will continue to increment versions using semantic versioning throughout.

In other words: it's time to build.

Highlights from the 0.5 release

• Added OCIF type Vector with support for 2D/3D vectors and scalar shortcuts
• Added node.resource-fit property for controlling resource display within nodes
• Added @ocif/node/transforms - geometric transforms including scale, offset, and rotation
• Added @ocif/node/anchored - percentage-based positioning relative to parent bounds
• Added @ocif/node/textstyle - font styling properties for text rendering
• Removed @ocif/rel/set relation - merged functionality into @ocif/rel/group and added cascadeDelete property to group relations
