Release notes
Package name: axe-core
This axe-core release introduces a new rule for testing the HTML summary element. Additionally, a number of false positives have been fixed. Upgrading to this release may therefore both increase, or decrease the number of issues found on a website. Most likely the impact of upgrading from axe-core 4.9.2 to axe-core 4.10.0 should be minimal.
Features
Bug Fixes
This release addresses a number of false positives, which may result in fewer issues reported. It also prevents a problem where axe-core wouldn't load on pages due to a conflict with a long-ago deprecated javascript library.

overflow: hidden
ancestor (#4357) (bdb7300), closes #4253This release should not result in different issue numbers. For TypeScript users, an error in type definitions has been corrected. This release could require a correction to how axe-core types are used. This release may change selectors on elements with the
xmlns
attribute, as the selectors axe-core prosed with those was invalid. Deduplication based on selectors between this and and prior versions of axe-core can fail because of this change.Bug Fixes
This release will not change axe-core's results. Only needed when used with old versions of NodeJS.

This release does not change the number of issues reported.
Bug Fixes
This axe-core release makes various changes to impact. As a result issues previously reported in one rule may now be reported under a different rule. In rarer cases, the impact under which an issue is reported may change. This release has further deprecated the
duplicate-id
andduplicate-id-active
rule, along with setting theduplicate-id-aria
to always report as "needs review" rather than as a violation. As these three rules are fairly common causes of issues, this change may result in the total issue reported going down significantly.Consistent Rule Impact
This release changes it so that a rule never changes what impact it reports. To facilitate this while without changing the impact on certain issues, some rules have been split. The following changes were involved:
Other Features
Type Fixes & Improvements
Various improvements were made to the types. Potentially the most impactful of which is that the
target
andancestry
property now return asUnlabelledFrameSelector
instead of asstring[]
, which is incorrect for selectors involving shadow DOM. This may create some issues during migration for any code that has been incorrectly assuming these two properties have thestring[]
type. For more details and other type changes, see the commit itself:Bug Fixes
This release corrects the Trusted Tester v5 tags, which were introduced in 4.7.0, and it addresses a few false positives which for pages with forms may result in a few less issues found.
Bug Fixes
This release addresses a number of bugs. Some things that were failed in the previous release may now be passed or require manual review.
