📱 Major Accessibility Uplift to Attendee App
This release marks completion of a significant accessibility uplift to the Attendee App, enhancing 60+ components to align with WCAG 2.2 standard. These are available in Modern Theme apps, in both the HTML5 app and when a keyboard is attached to a mobile device. An updated Accessibility Statement will be available shortly.

Our Attendee App releases are now separate from EventsAir releases, so both can be updated more frequently. For this release, Attendee App amendments and fixes are listed in this article AND in a separate article. From here on, there'll be separate articles for EventsAir version updates and Attendee App updates.
