Release Notes

In summary, this release adds:

Support Element Internals: A modern way for building accessible component libraries

Axe-core is the first accessibility tool to support this major new web feature! Thanks to RedHat and Adobe for working with us to figure out the right way forward.

A new Swedish translation, thanks to our a community contribution
A new Finish contribution (not open source), thanks to our Scandinavian partner
10 False positives closed, including all the critical ones!
And 13 updates to get Axe-core consistent with the latest web standards

This release is one of the bigger changes we've done in a few years, so likely issue numbers are going to change in adopting this version.
