Version 7 of a11y-dialog aims at reducing complexity, both in terms of implementation, but also in terms of usage. In that regard, there are two main objectives for that release:

• Dropping support for the native <dialog> element. It is inconsistent, and already actively discouraged in the documentation. There is a lot of logic around supporting its side-effects which we would be better off.

• Using aria-modal="true" to no longer make the main content container(s) inert with aria-hidden="true". This significantly reduces the markup expectations and limit the risks of passing the incorrect main content container(s) to the library since it no longer needs them.
