This release addresses a number of false positives, which may result in a slightly lower number of issues reported. It also resolves a problem that caused the color contrast rule skip a page in edge cases. A page that wasn't tested because of this edge case may now be tested, and so could see new color contrast issues reported.
Lastly this rule corrects a few of the newly released RGAA tags, so when running an RGAA ruleset which rules run, and how they are mapped to RGAA is slightly different.

DqElement: deprecate fromFrame function (#4881) (374c376), closes #4093
This release adds the new RGAA standard to many rules. Of particular note is that some best practice rules under WCAG are required under the RGAA standard: focus-order-semantics (experimental), region, skip-link, table-duplicate-name. This means that these rules are tagged as both best-practice and RGAAv4. Applications which are filtering rules based on the best-practice tags will need to update the logic in order to handle RGAA rules that are tagged best-practice.
