  • Fixes an issue in which decorative images lack alternative text or an appropriate role, causing screen readers to announce them as “graphic.” The update makes sure that decorative images are correctly marked so that they're ignored by assistive technologies, improving accessibility compliance.

  • Fixes an issue in which the contrast between foreground and background colors doesn't meet WCAG 2.0 AA minimum contrast ratio thresholds. The update ensures compliance by adjusting color contrast to meet accessibility standards.
