Summary
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.

- 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.
