Accessibility updates
PR from @msrafi #1467
notes: due to tabindex property, some browsers may include default styling to highlight the slide which has focus. You can override this with .slick-slide:focus { outline:0 } or even better to make the slide appear highlighted in some way for your users with poor sight.
slide option fixed
PR from @simeydotme #1357
notes: fixes #1517 and #1353 regarding the slide option not filtering the carousel properly (at all).
Enhancing the arrow states
PR from @simeydotme #1331
notes: default and custom arrows should now hide correctly, also there is a new css class slick-hidden which will default hide the arrows when there's not enough slides to slide, where as slick-disabled can be used to indicate when the slider has reached the end of a non-infinite carousel.
Setting Responsive Options in setOption method
PR from @simeydotme #1334
notes: fixing #327 and closing #335 this should now allow setting of n * breakpoint responsive settings with the setOption method using code like: , .slick("setOption", "responsive", [{ ... }]); .. for an example you can see the new syntax working here: http://jsfiddle.net/simeydotme/54a9d57t/

Bower package name fixed
PR from @sindhus
notes: Bower package name was out of date. Sorted.
currentSlide option fixed
PR from @janrode #1376

lazy loaded images fixed
PR from @simeydotme #1360
notes: fixing #1354 where the images were not being given the correct opacity after loading. It was to do with a race condition. Fixed.
