Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8682, changed title to 'TinyMT32 Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG)', changed abstract to 'This document describes the TinyMT32 Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG), which produces 32-bit pseudorandom unsigned integers and aims at having a simple-to-use and deterministic solution.  This PRNG is a small-sized variant of the Mersenne Twister (MT) PRNG.  The main advantage of TinyMT32 over MT is the use of a small internal state, compatible with most target platforms that include embedded devices, while keeping reasonably good randomness that represents a significant improvement compared to the Park-Miller Linear Congruential PRNG.  However, neither the TinyMT nor MT PRNG is meant to be used for cryptographic applications.', changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2020-01-14, changed IESG state to RFC Published)
