There are extensive comments in the commit messages (well, in the second one as in the first one nothing unusual happens).

Fix for accessibility actions can be removed as soon as CEWendel/SWTableViewCell#312 gets merged. As that might happen who knows when, have our own interim fix in the meantime.

For easy reference:
Bug 1158508
Bug 1158509

with accessibility

We communicate that the item is read primarily by speaking it with lower
pitch. So a VoiceOver user immediately learns whether item is
read/unread by noting the pitch of the voice. As read/unread status is
not communicated by a word at the beginning of the accessibility label
and the label begins with the title of the webpage, the user will also
immediately learn the beginning words of the title of webpage. I.e., the
title of the webpage and read/unread status are learned simultaneously
and immediately by the VoiceOver user.

This allows for quick navigation through the items, as within first
fractions of a second VoiceOver user can identify both read/unread
status and the beginning of the title of the article.

"Read"/"Unread" is still announced after the title, in case the user is
using only braille display without speech, or the user has trouble
recognizing pitch changes, or the user is a Switch Control user (Switch
Control does not respect the UIAccessibilitySpeechAttribute* attributes
- <rdar://problem/20701917>).
