Accessibility Checker upgraded to Axe Core 4.10

by Jaime Iniesta

We've upgraded our Accessibility validation servers to the latest version of axe-core, 4.10, which adds a new rule for the summary element and fixes some bugs from previous versions.

As usual, you don’t need to do anything on your side to update, we’ve upgraded our servers with this version so they’ll run automatically in your next reports.

New rule: Summary must have discernible text

The new accessibility rule in the 4.10 Axe Core ruleset checks that all summary elements used as a control for a details element must have a discernible, accessible name.
