Release 4.4.3

This release does not change results of axe-core. Instead it gets rid of a warning when axe-core is installed with NPM using older versions of NodeJS. We also added a missing type definition when using axe.configure() in TypeScript.

Bug Fixes

• axe.d.ts: updates type definition for Rule to add reviewOnFail (#3521) (afb2478)
• Continue supporting Node >=4 (#3538) (da7923b), closes #3537

Release 4.4.2

This release could reduce the number of violations reported and it could increase the number of incomplete items reported. We've tweaked a few remediation messages of rules for greater consistency and clarity. Role presentation and role none are now allowed on the HTML nav element. The aria-hidden-focusable rule now returns reports incomplete instead of a violation if the element has the onfocus attribute.
