Contao Open Source CMS 5.3.16

Contao 5.3.16, a new version of the Contao open source CMS, has been released.

This release contains a few accessibility improvements. For example, the default setting for the swiper has been changed so that automatic rotation is interrupted on mouseover. Please remember to adjust your swiper.html.twig templates accordingly if you want to benefit from this change. In addition, the tooltips in the back end have been made mobile-friendly. Various improvements for developers have also been implemented. In particular, the still experimental virtual file system has been further refined.
