#11 objects, attributes and operations for specific mechanisms currently in
general use.
The PKCS #11 Historical Mechanisms document describes the application of
PKCS #11 objects, attributes and operations for specific mechanisms that
have been but are no longer in general use.
The PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface Usage Guide provides guidance on
using PKCS #11 v2.40.

Members of the PKCS 11 TC [1] requested Special Majority Votes to approve the four Committee Specifications and a Full Majority Vote to approve the Committee Note. The documents had been released for public review as required by the TC Process [2]. The votes to approve the documents passed [3], and they are now available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.
Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone.
