Introduced in branch:

Description: 

From 10.3.0 onwards, links that lead to the current page now get the aria-current="page" attribute.

The aria current attribute is used when one element in a group is styled differently from the others to indicate to the sighted user that this is the current element. Adding this attribute will linform the assistive technology user what has been indicated via styling

Before

<a class="is-active" href="/this-page">Active page</a>
After

<a class="is-active" href="/this-page" aria-current="page">Active page</a>

Users of the Aria current module can most likely remove it and use the functionality provided by core.

Impacts: 
Site builders, administrators, editors
