April 1st 2019 Release [v2.1.2]

Install for Web

Welcome to the April 1st, 2019 release of Accessibility Insights for Web. Key highlights include:

Highlights

• Updated Automated checks to Axe 3.2.2

This update includes a fix to the following false negatives:

• 'image-alt' rule: should fail for alt=" " (white space as alt text)
• 'group-labelledby': Added a check in 'checkboxgroup' rule to fail corner cases

And surfaces two new rules in the automated checks:

• aria-hidden-focus: Ensures aria-hidden elements do not contain focusable elements.
• landmark-complementary-is-top-level: Ensures that aside elements or elements with role=complementary are not an internal part of another ARIA landmark.

Finally, there are also some rule bug fixes and improvements:

• Elements accessible name is now considered when labels are hidden
• label rule now does not fail for input elements with explicit hidden label despite having accessible label by other means
• label rule now does not fail for input having explicit label with role presentation
• Usage of aria-role description attribute is now allowed on certain elements
• Updated WCAG tags for frame-title rule

Bug Fixes

• Prevent "best practice" landmark rules from generating failures #390
• Make Failure details more visible by changing background color PR #386
• Changed default values in columns from hyphen to "(no value)" for better accessibility PR #388
• Fixed issue where stuck at Scanning 98% when displaying automated checks from an assessment scan done by 2.0.5 #416
• Added distinguished, date-time-based filenames to reports PR #398
• Fixed issue where scroll bar for requirements dissapeared in newest Chrome update #413
