| − | [[X3D version 3.4 Development]] efforts are evolutionary improvements to the proven X3D Graphics architecture.
| + | == X3D version 3.4 is now merged with X3D version 4.0 == |
| | | | |
| − | Working groups are currently defining goals and requirements.
| + | The Web3D Consortium has decided to merge all X3D version 3.4 efforts into |

| − | [[X3D version 4.0 Development]] efforts are focused on HTML5/Declarative 3D/X3DOM and Augmented Reality Continuum (ARC) technologies, which may require architectural changes. Some new technologies may get pushed from 4.0 to 3.4 (or back again) after careful consideration.

| − | As with all other X3D components, all work is defined in the abstract specification has corresponding file encodings (.x3d .x3dv .x3db) and language bindings (ECMAScript and Java). This includes evolutionary efforts to upgrade the X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE), as described in the [http://www.web3d.org/realtime-3d/working-groups/x3d/compressed-binary/x3d-compressed-binary-encoding-call-contributions X3D Compressed Binary Encoding Call For Contributions].
