Upgrade Notes
Please note that #2137 provided some HTML changes where previous <a> elements were updated to <button> elements. This change was done to improve accessibility and usability and we are considering it an enhancements. Blacklight adopters should be aware of this as to look at local styling that may need to be modified.
#2134 updated how icons are styled in Blacklight. We are now using a fill based svg approach. This is consistent with how many icon libraries are now providing and styling their icons. It should also enable downstream users of Blacklight to more easily style icons.
#2145 Adds jump links to Blacklight, but also sets search bar autofocus to off. This can be reenabled but is left off for accessibility.
#2157 Adds enhanced accessibility features for svg icons used in Blacklight and downstream applications/engines.
