Includes versions 4.7.0 and later

4.10.1 (September 24, 2024)

Resolved an issue with the Robot integration, where it was calling a non-existent method.

Unloaded frames are now handled properly.
The axe-core dependency is now pinned to accept patch versions only.
Upgraded the axe-core dependency to 4.8.2.
Added the EN 301 549 ruleset.
Added the Trusted Tester v5 ruleset.
For the Robot package, added plugin integration. This change fixed an issue where the Robot integration would become unstable if used with a modified Selenium package.

Default ID
The Python API package now sets the default ID in the JSON results file to "check" instead of null as before. The highlighted line in the following (shortened) example shows the change:
```
{
  "type": "axe-devtools-result",
  "name": "axe-run",
  "id": "check",  "platform": {}
  ...
}
```
(Many lines were deleted in the above example.)

This change makes Python results compatible with the other APIs.
Large Results

Limits have been increased and the Python package can now process much larger results.
