Changelog

🆕 New features:

  • Accordion component 🎉

    Contributed by @frankieroberto, as well as @injms, @hannalaakso, @joelanman and others.

    The accordion component lets users show and hide sections of related content on a page.

    For more information see guidance.

    (PR #958)

  • Add desktop specific grid column widths

    This allow you to define different grid behaviour for the tablet and desktop
    breakpoints. For example, you can make a column two-thirds on desktop but
    expand to full-width on smaller tablet sized screens.

    (PR #1094)

  • Add summary list component

    This component was initially developed to allow us to build the
    'check your answers' pattern.

    It is mostly the same as in the original pattern with some notable differences:

    • On smaller screens it wraps by default
    • It's possible to have multiple actions

    (PR #1065)

🔧 Fixes:

  • Update visually hidden class to fix ordering issue in VoiceOver OSX

    We have fixed an issue in VoiceOver OSX where using the govuk-visually-hidden class in links would result in the text being announced out of order.

    We also now recommend to use aria-label or aria-labelledby where appropriate.

    Thanks to @stevenaproctor and the accessibility team at HMRC for letting us know about this issue.

    (PR #1109)

  • Improve rendering in older Internet Explorer

    Added a meta tag to ensure that older IE versions always render with the correct rendering engine

    (PR #1119)
