DSGN Accessibility Audit and Statement

Changelog

0.7.5

  • Listed on WordPress.org as “DSGN Accessibility Audit and Statement”; the on-site panel keeps the “Threshold by DSGN” name.
  • Text domain aligned to the plugin slug.
  • Removed the manual load_plugin_textdomain() call (WordPress.org loads translations automatically).
  • Code-standards cleanups for the plugin directory review.

0.7.3

  • Panel footer back to dark with the white logo and a bit more padding.
  • Removed the divider under “Report a barrier”.
  • Custom black document icon for the Accessibility Statement link.

0.7.2

  • Panel footer now uses the real DSGN logo (PNG), is lighter and links to dsgngroup.it.
  • Admin credit links to dsgngroup.it.
  • New setting to hide the DSGN credit from the panel footer (on by default; admin always keeps it).

0.7.1

  • Fixed the brand mark not showing in the panel footer (now white on the dark footer).
  • Removed the mark from the Accessibility Statement title (it was misaligned).

0.7.0

  • Lighter, editorial admin design (no more dark background).
  • Much fuller Accessibility Statement (EAA / EN 301 549 sections: non-accessible content, preparation, enforcement) with an optional known-limitations field.
  • Brand mark is now an inline SVG everywhere (no raster image to break).
  • Text spacing reworked as a reliable per-element stepper.
  • Fixed the panel breaking when High contrast was toggled.
  • New Negative colours preference.

0.6.0

  • New visitor aids: read aloud (browser speech), keyboard focus highlight (2.4.7), bigger cursor.
  • Redesigned dark admin interface.
  • “Learn more” links now point to the official W3C WAI Understanding pages.
  • Removed the external headless engine option (static or browser only).

0.5.0

  • Actionable audit: each issue now explains what it is, why it matters, how to fix it, and shows the affected element with a code snippet and a “Learn more” link.
  • Issues are grouped by rule across pages, with a severity summary.
  • Browser-engine results are localised (Italian) via axe-core locales.
  • The admin no longer loads external fonts either (system font stack everywhere).

0.4.0

  • Text size now resizes text reliably even on px-based themes (Elementor etc.).
  • Text spacing no longer affects icon fonts or the panel itself.
  • New High contrast comfort preference.
  • Browser engine now injects axe-core into the page being scanned (fixes empty/0% results); a page that cannot be read is reported as an error, never as “compliant”.

0.3.1

  • Front-end no longer loads external fonts (Google Fonts): the panel uses a system font stack. Zero external requests on the front-end, better privacy and performance.

0.3.0

  • New browser engine: runs axe-core in the admin’s browser to cover colour contrast (1.4.3) and JavaScript-rendered content, with no external service.
  • Three scan engines selectable in Settings: static (server), browser, external headless.

0.2.0

  • Server-side scanning: new static engine (no browser) plus an optional external headless engine. axe-core is no longer bundled.
  • Weekly scheduled scan via WP-Cron.
  • Full English and Italian translations.

0.1.0

  • First version: front-end panel, accessibility scan, Accessibility Statement, feedback mechanism.
