with UI-Kit
## 4.5.4
## Image Accessibility
Decorative Image vs. Alt-Text & Title
For some Components we offer now to choose if an Image is purely for Decoration and does not add Information or Context to the Content, or if it might needs Alt-Text and Title Tag.
An Alt-Text (Alternative Text) is a brief Description of an Image that provides Context used by Assistive Technologies, like e.g. for visually impaired Users, or when Images are disabled. While the Title Tag of an Image is an optional HTML Attribute that can be used to provide additional Information or a Tooltip when a User hovers over the Image. It is not a Replacement for the Alt-Text.
**But: Do not use it, if it does not bring any Value to the (visually impaired) User.**
In Future we will work further on the Image Accessibility.
## Default UI-KIT Version
##### Default Version for Release: eon-ui-kit v_4.5.4
All AEM Releases are tested against a default UI-Kit Version, which is set in CAC MultiBrandMainConfig as **Fallback**. If CAC MultiBrandMainConfig is not set manually, then this Version will be set for your Website.
Solutions having their own UI-Kit (e.g. Suewag, Energiewacht) will always have to update manually.
