# Community 5.0.9

### Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest update of Community includes multiple accessibility updates and fixes the submission form.

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.
