Bumps axe-core from 4.3.5 to 4.5.2.

Release notes

Sourced from axe-core's releases.

Release 4.5.2

This release can result in fewer issues reported on link-in-text-block and aria-required-children. This release addresses an issue where color-contrast and target-size violations were not reported after the page was scrolled.

Bug Fixes

  • aria-required-children: allow menu and menubar to be empty (#3770) (d11aed8)
  • create-grid: include elements scrolled out of view in the grid (#3773) (a563263)
  • do not warn when using webpack (#3777) (d6cef9a)
  • link-in-text-block: don't match style or script text (#3775) (ab877f9)
  • prevent undefined relatedNodes from halting axe (#3778) (efefb18)

Release 4.5.1

This release does not change results of axe-core. It resolves a problem where axe had gotten unnecessarily picky about which order things need to be loaded in in some test environments.

Bug Fixes

  • allow axe to run in certain configurations of jsdom (#3755) (b74c5d4)
  • prevent crash on jsdom when preloading CSSOM (#3754) (b1f0c6b)

Release 4.5.0

This release may increase or decrease the number of violations reported. This can be because some rules have changed in which ruleset they run (best practice to WCAG, and vice versa). It can also be because the rules themselves got stricter in some places so are able to find new violations, and got more permissive in other places in order to handle more edge cases.

Tags that indicate which success criteria a rule tests violations for have been changed for several rules. In some cases new success criteria tags were added, and in others criteria tags were removed.
