Release Notes for Axe DevTools for Web Node.js Reporter Packages

4.15.1 (August 12, 2026)

• Fixed a problem where the macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) Binary Reporter quit immediately without producing output. The binary is now code-signed, which macOS requires before it will run.

4.15.0 (August 10, 2026)

• jsdom is no longer included with @axe-devtools/reporter. It is now an optional peer dependency, so installing the reporter no longer installs it for you. HTML reports are still generated, but pre-rendering them into static markup now requires either a browser or a separately installed jsdom. If you relied on the included jsdom, see Pre-rendering HTML reports for how to restore the previous behavior.
• Added a renderOptions argument to buildHTML, which selects the browser used to pre-render HTML reports, declines browser auto-detection, controls the browser sandbox, and sets render limits. See buildHTML.
• Added the --browser-binary, --no-sandbox, and --no-auto-detect-browser options to the reporter CLI.
• Upgraded axe-core to 4.13.0.
• Fixed a problem where generating an HTML report wrote CSS parsing errors to the console.
• Fixed a problem where reports could not be generated by a caller bundled into a single executable.

4.14.0 (June 30, 2026)

• Added --format earl to the reporter CLI, which outputs accessibility results as a W3C EARL (Evaluation and Report Language) JSON-LD document (axe-devtools-results.earl.json). Note: EARL output does not support Axe DevTools Mobile results.

4.13.0 (May 4, 2026)

• Upgraded axe-core to 4.12.1.
• Added the @axe-devtools/common-format package, which converts axe-core scan results to the Axe Universal Format.
• @axe-devtools/logger now generates unique UUID values for result IDs.

4.12.0 (November 17, 2025)

• Upgraded axe-core to 4.11.0.
• Added the ability to filter by EN 301 549 and RGAAv4 standards in the HTML report.

4.6.1 (June 6, 2023)
