 ## What's new
 
+### Alt text accessibility check
+
+The [built-in accessibility checker](authoring_accessible_content) now enforces a new `alt-text-quality` rule, which tests alt text for the presence of known bad patterns such as file extensions. This rule is enabled by default, but can be disabled if necessary.
+
+This feature was implemented by Albina Starykova, with support from the Wagtail accessibility team.
