on GitHub

• feature: WAI-ARIA improvements:
  • toolbar (#6521)
    • human-readable title attributes on all buttons. new options:
      • buttonHints
      • customButtons.hint
      • viewHint (ex: $0 view -> "month view")
    • aria-labelledby attribute connecting view-title with view-container
  • event elements (#3364)
    • previously, only events with an event.url property were tabbable by the end-user.
      now, events without urls can be made tabbable by enabling event.interactive or by
      enabling the calendar-wide eventInteractive option.
    • when focused, pressing enter/spacebar will trigger an eventClick
  • more-links and popover (#6523)
    • human-readable title attributes on "+more" links via new option moreLinkHint
    • when focused, pressing enter/spacebar will open popover
    • aria-controls/aria-expanded attributes connecting link to popover
    • aria-labelledby attribute connecting popover-title to popover
    • aria-label attribute describing "X" close icon via new option closeHint
    • pressing escape key closes popover
  • nav-links (#6524)
    • human-readable title attributes on all navLinks via new option navLinkHint
    • when focused, pressing enter/spacebar will trigger navLinkClick
  • table-based views (#6526)
    • all cells within thead elements have been made into <th> tags
    • retrofit the necessarily non-ARIA-friendly table markup with role tags. the root table is a
      grid, children have been given rowgroup/row/columnheader/rowheader/cell, and
      non-functional table elements have been given presentation.
    • in timegrid views, the time-axis axis has been removed from the accessibility tree
  • list-view (#6525)
    • introduced a table-header specifically for screen readers. header cells label the time/event
      columns using the following new options: timeHint and eventHint
    • removed the "dot" column from the accessibility tree
• feature: date formatting option week now accepts 'long' if locale defines weekTextLong
• bugfix: timeline-view events hidden by eventMaxStack sometimes appear over other events (#6543)
• bugfix: daygrid event rendering with dayMaxEventRows and custom eventOrder can cause infinite loop (#6573)
• bugfix: content-injected html/domNodes as view-specific options don't clear when switching views (#6079, #6555)
• bugfix: more compliant CSS with Sass processors (#6564)
• locale: added si-lk (#6553)
