> Major additions and revisions:
> 
> * Added section providing guidance on coding and composing accessible
>   names and descriptions. This section comprehensively covers ARIA and
>   HTML naming and describing techniques as well as specific guidance for
>   every ARIA role.
> * Added example of a site navigation bar ( " menu system " ) with
>   dropdown lists of links coded using the disclosure pattern.
> * Added an example of a date picker based on the dialog and grid
>   patterns. A modal dialog contains a calendar grid that presents
>   buttons for each day of a month.
> * Added an example of a date picker that uses three spin buttons for
>   day, month, and year.
> * Image Carousel Example: Updated the example so that the rotation
>   control is always visible instead of only being visible for keyboard
>   users who move focus into the carousel region. Also changed the
>   controls so they are implemented with HTML button elements instead of
>   links with the button  role.
> * Toolbar Example: Added popup text labels for icons that are displayed
>   on both hover and focus.

> Minor revisions of guidance or implementation were made to the following

> 
> * Editor Menubar Example: Updated example so that meta data used by the
>   scripts is specified using data-  attributes instead of with rel
>   attributes.
> * Radio Group with Active Descendant Example: Removed unused keycodes
>   and fixed linting issues.
