Bootstrap provides simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for popular user interface components and interactions. In other words, it's a front-end toolkit for faster, more beautiful web development. It's created and maintained by [Mark Otto ](http://twitter.com/mdo ) and [Jacob Thornton ](http://twitter.com/fat ) at Twitter.

Versioning
----------
2012-02-01 22:14:49 +01:00
For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, Bootstrap will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
2011-08-30 06:26:53 +02:00
2012-07-23 21:51:36 +02:00
Releases will be numbered with the following format:
2011-08-30 06:26:53 +02:00
`<major>.<minor>.<patch>`
And constructed with the following guidelines:
2012-03-21 21:00:58 +01:00
* Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
* New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
2012-03-20 06:02:00 +01:00
* Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch
2011-08-30 06:26:53 +02:00
