## Summary

For a broader overview, see [what's new](http://blog.getbootstrap.com/DEAD-LINK-FIX-ME-PLEASE) in the v4.0.0 release announcement.
- Dropped IE8 support—v4 is now only IE9+. For sites needing IE8, use v3.
2014-12-23 12:57:55 +01:00
- Dropped iOS 6 support.
- Added official support for Android v5.0 Lollipop's Browser and WebView. Earlier versions of the Android Browser and WebView remain only unofficially supported.
- Switched from `px` to `rem` as our primary unit in CSS.
- Media queries are now in `em`s.
- Global font-size increased from `14px` to `16px`.
- Dropped panels, thumbnails, and wells for a new component, cards.
- Switched from LESS to SCSS for our source CSS files.
- Added a new grid tier for ~`480px` and below.
- Dropped Glyphicons icon font.
- Dropped the Affix jQuery plugin. We recommend using a `position: sticky` polyfill instead. [See the HTML5 Please entry](http://html5please.com/#sticky) for details and specific polyfill recommendations.
- Refactored nearly all components to use more unnested classes instead of children selectors.
- Non-responsive usage of Bootstrap is no longer supported.
- Dropped the online Customizer in favor of more extensive setup documentation.
- Replaced the separate optional theme with...

TODO: audit classes in v4 that aren't present in v4
The following deprecated Less/SCSS variables have been removed in v4.0.0:
* `@screen-phone`, `@screen-tablet`, `@screen-desktop`, `@screen-lg-desktop`. Use the more abstract `$screen-{xs,sm,md,lg,xl}-*` variables instead.
* `@screen-sm`, `@screen-md`, `@screen-lg`. Use the more clearly named `$screen-{xs,sm,md,lg,xl}-min` variables instead.
* `@screen-xs`, `@screen-xs-min`. The extra small breakpoint has no lower bound, so these variables were logically absurd. Reformulate your expression in terms of `$screen-xs-max` instead.
* `@grid-float-breakpoint`
The responsive utility classes have been overhauled. The old classes (`.hidden-xs` `.hidden-sm` `.hidden-md` `.hidden-lg` `.visible-xs-block` `.visible-xs-inline` `.visible-xs-inline-block` `.visible-sm-block` `.visible-sm-inline` `.visible-sm-inline-block` `.visible-md-block` `.visible-md-inline` `.visible-md-inline-block` `.visible-lg-block` `.visible-lg-inline` `.visible-lg-inline-block`) are gone. They have been replaced by `.hidden-xs-up` `.hidden-xs-down` `.hidden-sm-up` `.hidden-sm-down` `.hidden-md-up` `.hidden-md-down` `.hidden-lg-up` `.hidden-lg-down`. The `.hidden-*-up` classes hide the element when the viewport is at the given breakpoint or wider (e.g. `.hidden-md-up` hides an element on medium, large, and extra-large devices). The `.hidden-*-down` classes hide the element when the viewport is at the given breakpoint or smaller (e.g. `.hidden-md-down` hides an element on extra-small, small, and medium devices). Rather than using explicit `.visible-*` classes, you make an element visible by simply not hiding it at that screen size. You can combine one `.hidden-*-up` class with one `.hidden-*-down` class to show an element only on a given interval of screen sizes (e.g. `.hidden-sm-down.hidden-xl-up` shows the element only on medium and large devices). Note that the changes to the grid breakpoints in v4 means that you'll need to go one breakpoint larger to achieve the same results (e.g. `.hidden-md` is more similar to `.hidden-lg-down` than to `.hidden-md-down`). .The new responsive utility classes don't attempt to accommodate less common cases where an element's visibility can't be expressed as a single contiguous range of viewport sizes; you will instead need to use custom CSS in such cases.

## Misc notes to prioritize
- Removed the `min--moz-device-pixel-ratio` typo hack for retina media queries
- Dropped `.hidden` and `.show` because it interferes with jQuery's `$(...).hide()`.
- Change buttons' `[disabled]` to `:disabled` as IE9+ supports `:disabled`. However `fieldset[disabled]` is still necessary because [native disabled fieldsets are still buggy in IE11](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/fieldset#Browser_compatibility).
