Release notes describing the changes in the CLI for version 4.7.0 and later

4.9.0 (April 5, 2024)

Fixed problem when URL specified specified with the --axe-reports-url command-line option ended with /reports.
Fixed a problem where the process would sometimes not exit when processing large spec files.

Added duration, fetchUrlTime, and actionTime to standard output when using the ‑‑verbose command-line option.
Upgraded to axe-core version 4.8.2.
Upgraded @axe-core/cli dependency to version 4.8.4.

Fixed a problem on Windows that prevented the CLI from uploading JSON results to axe-reports.
Added YAML support to the bulk-spec command.
Added new option to add set the dimensions field in JSON results (--axe-reports-dimensions).

Upgraded to axe-core 4.7.0.
bulk-spec
A problem on Windows that caused the bulk-spec command (batch processing of spec files) to skip processing of spec files has been fixed.
Updated Command-Line Options
Several command-line options have been changed to make their use clearer and more consistent:
- The --user-agent option is now always used by Chrome regardless of the headless setting or whether a remote proxy has been configured.
- The --accept-untrusted option is always used regardless of the browser or headless setting. (Previously this option required the --headless option to be set.)
- The --remote-proxy is always used by Chrome (no longer depends on the --headless option or whether an https site is being scanned).
