The subject document: - 'Zstandard Compression and the application/zstd Media Type' <draft-kucherawy-rfc8478bis-06.txt> went through last call in January 2020 at revision -03, was approved by the IESG in April at revision -05, and went to the RFC Editor at that time. During final editing (AUTH48), a new errata report (6303) was filed on RFC 8478, and the document authors and responsible AD agreed that it was important to incorporate a fix for that errata report in this update. The fix is in revision -06, and affects Section 3.1.1.5. You can see the diffs here: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-kucherawy-rfc8478bis-06 We are making an additional IETF Last Call on this version so that the community can review and comment on these late changes. After completion of this Last Call, we expect to return the document to the RFC Editor so that they may complete their editing and publish this version as an Informational RFC. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2021-01-19. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Zstandard, or "zstd" (pronounced "zee standard"), is a data compression mechanism. This document describes the mechanism and registers a media type and content encoding to be used when transporting zstd-compressed content via Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). It also registers a corresponding media type, content encoding, and structured syntax suffix. Despite use of the word "standard" as part of its name, readers are advised that this document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is being published for informational purposes only. This document replaces and obsoletes RFC 8478. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kucherawy-rfc8478bis/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
