CSS Colour Level 3 moves to Last Call
The CSS3 Colour module is one of the most implemented CSS3 modules. This was previously in the Candidate Recommendation stage, but has just recently been reverted to Last Call. While this sounds like a step backwards, it was done due to the specification being updated.

Firefox developers accelerate CSS implementation
Firefox 3 isn’t quite out yet, but already there are some exciting plans for CSS implementation in future versions.

Slow times for CSS 3 news
News about developments in CSS 3 is hard to come by at the moment, so please forgive the slow rate of updates on the site in the last month. I attended the @media conference here in London last week and news on progress in CSS was noticeable by its absence, when even HTML 5 had [...]

Jason Cranford Teague has volunteered to edit the CSS Basic UI, CSS Hyperlink Presentation, CSS Fonts and CSS Web Fonts modules and is looking for feedback from users on the latter two. He asks:
Tell me what you think are some of the font styles and features missing from the current specification. What do you expect [...]
New features proposed for CSS
This week has seen the release of a raft of new proposals for features to be integrated into the CSS specification:
CSS Animation
CSS Transforms
CSS Transitions
CSS Variables
I personally have reservations about the Visual Effects proposals, feeling this is better suited to Javascript, but I seem to be in the minority on this so I will cede to [...]
CSS Working Group latest resolutions
The CSS WG had a face-to-face meeting in San Diego last month, and have released their latest resolutions in a series of posts on their blog:
Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI
Some of the highlights I saw on my first read through:

Safari 3.1 pushes CSS3 support forward
Apple surprised a lot of people by releasing Safari 3.1 today (myself included!), and amongst its list of new & improved features (audio and video tags! SVG in img and background-image!) are two which will be of interest to readers of this blog: full CSS3 selectors support, and web fonts.
The first means that Safari now [...]
CSS3 Selectors – new test
Daniel Glazman has created a new test to show CSS3 Selectors support in your browser. He has also posted results for current browsers.
With this and the Acid 3 test, there’s a lot for browser makers to aim for.
