Feature Release

The latest version of Events Calendar Pro focuses on accessibility enhancements and also adds a new REST API endpoint for the Series archive.

Events Pro 7.7.11 is only compatible with The Events Calendar 6.15.12 or higher.

As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.

Tweaks in this release:

Increases visual contrast for the focus indicator on the events by week widget.
Increases visual contrast for the focus indicator on the mini calendar widget.
Makes mini calendar event markers accessible by adding descriptive focus styles and contextual information for color-based indicators.
