WCAG 2.2 introduced 9 new success criteria. Here's a breakdown of what changed and how ConformPilot covers them: New in WCAG 2.2: - 2.4.11 Focus Appearance (Minimum) — AA - 2.4.12 Focus Appearance (Enhanced) — AAA - 2.4.13 Focus Appearance — AA - 2.5.7 Dragging Movements — AA - 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) — AA - 3.2.6 Consistent Help — A - 3.3.7 Redundant Entry — A - 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) — AA - 3.3.9 Accessible Authentication (Enhanced) — AAA ConformPilot's axe-core engine already covers most of these. The focus appearance checks are particularly well-handled.

This is super helpful! Do you know if ConformPilot checks 2.5.8 Target Size automatically? I've been manually measuring click targets which is very tedious.

For compliance purposes — WCAG 2.2 is now the current standard. If you're doing VPAT reports, make sure you're referencing 2.2 and not 2.1. ConformPilot's VPAT export already uses the 2.2 template.
