For a number of years, WordPress has been using a `#00a0d2` blue shade for the links `:hover` state. This blue shade doesn't have a sufficient color contrast with the various (too many) background colors used in the admin interface.
The new `#006799` blue shade is part of the official WordPress color palette and does have a sufficient color contrast with most of the admin backgrounds.

Swaps the DOM order of the two main columns within the admin Image Editor.
When the sequence in which content is presented affects its meaning and the navigation sequences affect meaning or operation, visual order and DOM order must match. See WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence and Success Criterion 2.4.3 Focus Order.

For a number of years, various screens in the WordPress admin provided users with a readonly input field to copy the attachment file URL. Manually copying from a readonly field is an annoying task at best even for mouser users. It's a usability and accessibility issue at the same time.
These fields now have a new "Copy URL" button that is easy to use and accessible to everyone.

In WordPress 3.2 support for IE6 was dropped, IE7 followed a few versions later. With the 4.8 release, WordPress officially ended support for Internet Explorer versions 8, 9, and 10. Yet, we still have shipped CSS for the unsupported IE versions....until now! Goodbye to ie.css and star hacks!

Same applies to UI controls, since they're meant to be comfortably readable by the largest possible audience, e.g.: label elements.

- the Recovery Mode plugin error details
- the Image Editor inline help

Visible `<label>` elements benefit all users. The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as a replacement for visible labels.
Instead, it's supposed to be used only for a short hint to aid users with data entry e.g. a sample value or a brief description of the expected format.
Screen readers may not announce a `placeholder` attribute at all. Other users may suffer from the lack of a visible label and a placeholder used as replacement, for example:
- users with cognitive disabilities may have trouble remembering what the filled field does
- speech recognition users cannot see the name they can speak to set focus on the field
- low-vision users with high text-size may not be able to see the whole placeholder even when it's visible, if its value is clipped by the edge of the input

User interface controls that use only icons aren't ideal for many users.
Universal icons are rare. Icons must communicate meaning but their actual meaning varies depending on many factors including the users cultural background.
Moreover, users with cognitive impairments and speech recognition users need interface controls with visible text to be able to operate them.

In many a strange and curious file of forgotten lore—
While I pondered, blaming Nacin, my notifications suddenly awakened,
As of someone quietly DMing;—DMing me, I can’t ignore.
“’Tis some contributor,” I muttered, “DMing me an idea or four—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, at WordCamp US, last December;
A mad proposal nearly laid me—down out cold—upon the floor.
Curious, I listened closely;—to a plan I agreed with, mostly—
A way to make our JavaScript—JavaScript which was a chore—
Maintainable, extendable, for the future, is what I saw.
Guten-ready for evermore.
Open here I switch to Slack, when, with many a patch and hack,
In there stepped Omar, a JavaScript developer hardcore;
Pronouncing all the changes fit; ready now to be commit;
“There’s nothing else for us to do,” DMing me, “It’s done!” he swore—
“No longer random guessing at which file need next be explored—
Let’s move on, we’re all aboard.”
Moved all together, grouped and managed, in folders all is packaged,
The code had all been cleaned and tidied, important parts moved to the fore,
“Though this change be useful here,” I said, “it is too large, I fear,
We couldn’t manage such a patch, we’ve done nothing like this before—
Tell me where doth go this change, change to make our codebase soar!”
Quoth Omar, “In WordPress Core.”
Props omarreis for shepherding this significant change.

WordPress no longer supports many old old browsers: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/04/23/target-browser-coverage/
This also removes alot of no longer necessary CSS. It served us well, but we are never getting back together with IE8,9,10.
So, in the (paraphrased) words of Taylor Swift:
I remember when we dropped support the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough, " 'cause like
We hadn't seen many users in a month
When you said you needed flexbox. (What?)
Then you postMessage again and say
"IE8, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate the box model, " we break up, you call me, "I love css-grids."
Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
You go talk to EDGE, talk to my FIREFOX, talk to CHROME
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever...

For better accessibility, expandable panels should be placed immediately after
the control that expands them. This change moves the Media Library inline
uploader up, right after the "Add New" button, also introducing consistency with
the Plugin and Theme uploaders.
Adds a proper ARIA role on the button and an `aria-expanded` attribute to give
better feedback to assistive technologies users about the uploader's expanded state.
Improves the focus handling when closing the uploader, improves the focus style
and color contrast ratio of the uploader "close" button.

Rejoice, for your admins will feel more native to your surrounding computing environment and likely load faster, especially when offline, as they no longer have to talk to The Google Overlord.
At the time of introduction in 3.8, there were not good system fonts common to all platforms at the time. In the years since, Windows, Android, OS X, iOS, Firefox OS, and various flavors of Linux have all gotten their own (good) system UI fonts.
There will definitely be visual bugs, mainly around alignment and spacing; these should be documented and reported on the ticket and fixed more atomically so that our current and future selves have a better understanding of what happened and why.
The style remains registered, as it is almost certainly in use by themes and plugins.
