We released SiteBuilder 2.448 on Monday 21^st September 2020. In this version we made some accessibility improvements:

• We made calendars provide more helpful information, in a logical order, to users of screen reader software. We also made calendars fully keyboard navigable.
• It's now possible to increase or decrease the font size of text using the setting for this in your browser.
• We replaced pipe characters (|) in the local navigation menu with borders. Previously, screen reader software announced the pipe characters to users.
• We removed the alt text, "image", from news item thumbnail images because it provided no useful information. We also made the link from the image invisible for screen reader software because it duplicated the link from the item title.
• Where a button for a given letter at the top of a glossary page is greyed out, screen reader software is now told that the link is disabled.
