Rivet 2.8.1 release

Rivet version 2.8.1 is now available. This patch release makes accessibility updates to the dropdown, sidenav, and breadcrumbs components.

Dropdown #

This release removes the aria-haspopup attribute from dropdown components that only include hyperlink elements. Dropdowns that contain buttons have been updated to have an aria-haspopup value of menu.

You do not need to manually update dropdown markup in your project, as these attributes are managed by the component’s JavaScript.

For more on the changes to aria-haspopup in ARIA 1.2, visit the W3C website.

Sidenav #

This release removes the aria-haspopup attribute from sidenav components.

You do not need to manually update sidenav markup in your project, as these attributes are managed by the component’s JavaScript.

Breadcrumbs #

The aria-label="Current page" attribute on breadcrumbs components has been updated to aria-current="page".

You’ll need to manually update breadcrumbs markup in your project after updating to Rivet 2.8.1.
