All requirements (“success criteria”) from 2.0 are included in 2.1. There are additional success criteria in 2.1. They are introduced in "What's New in WCAG 2.1" at: https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/new-in-21/ More information about this publication and next steps is in the blog post: https://www.w3.org/blog/2018/06/wcag21-rec/ More information about the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group is available from: https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/ Tweet: https://twitter.com/w3c_wai/status/1003998126842302470 Regards, Andrew Kirkpatrick, Accessibility Guidelines WG Chair, Alastair Campbell, Accessibility Guidelines WG Chair, Joshue O Connor, Accessibility Guidelines WG Chair, Michael Cooper, Accessibility Guidelines WG W3C Staff Contact
