The IIIF Consortium is pleased to announce the release of version 3.0 of
the Image and Presentation APIs. Among the many improvements in this major
update, version 3.0 enables support of audio and visual materials playback
and annotation, giving adopters the ability to work with time-based media
in addition to static resources.

You can view the specifications on our site:
