Sass

Changes to our source Sass files and compiled CSS.

  • visibility()
• Todo: New variables?
• Todo: Rearrange forms source files (under scss/forms/)
• Todo: Rearrange grid source files (under scss/grid/)
• Removed print styles and $enable-print-styles variable. Print display classes, however, have remained intact. See #28339.

JavaScript

Changes to our source and compiled JavaScript files.

• Dropped jQuery dependency and rewrote plugins to be in regular JavaScript.

Grid and layout

Changes to any layout tools and our grid system.

• Dropped .media component as it can be built with utility classes. See #28265.

Content, Reboot, etc

Changes to Reboot, typography, tables, and more.

• Todo: Make RFS enabled by default

Forms

• Todo: Move forms documentation to it's own top-level section
• Todo: Rearrange source Sass files (under scss/forms/)
• Todo: Combine native and custom checkboxes and radios
• Todo: Rewrite checks to support sizing (via em/font-size or explicit modifier classes)
• Todo: Combine native and custom selects
• Todo: Combine native and custom file and range inputs

Components

Alerts

• Todo: Remove auto-darkening of <hr> elements in .alert-* class variants. <hr>s use rgba() for their color, so these should naturally blend anyway.

Badges

Badges were overhauled to better differentiate themselves from buttons and to better utilize utility classes.

• Todo: Removed and replaced .badge modifier classes with background utility classes (e.g., use .bg-primary instead of .badge-primary)
• Todo: Removed .badge-pill for the .rounded-pill utility class
• Todo: Removed badge's hover and focus styles for a.badge and button.badge.

Popovers

• Renamed .arrow to .popover-arrow

Tooltips

• Renamed .arrow to .tooltip-arrow

Utilities

• Todo: Drop .text-hide as it's an antiquated method for hiding text that shouldn't be used anymore
• Todo: Split utilities into property-value utility classes and helpers
