+# Abstract
+
+EPUB® 3 defines a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. The EPUB format provides a means of representing, packaging, and encoding structured and semantically enhanced web content — including HTML, CSS, SVG, and other resources — for distribution in a single-file container.
+
+This specification defines the authoring requirements for EPUB publications and represents the third major revision of the standard.

+
+There were no new features, only essentially clarification of the normative texts. No new tests were necessary, the ones listed, and referred to, from the editor's draft (see links above), were enough.
