Here we go again: Boosted v5 alpha 3 is out! The v5 documentation is continuously deployed on Netlify, check it out.

Warning
Please note that this is a pre-release, likely to see more breaking changes in the next months, and not currently aligned with Boosted v4.

Bootstrap v5.0.0-alpha3

As usual, Bootstrap made an announcement on their blog—and you can read the full changelog on GitHub.

The main changes are:

• Accordions are now a separate component, not relying on cards anymore;
• File inputs are now styled with CSS only, no need for a weird markup and a JS plugin anymore;
• .d-grid and .gap-* utilities came in and should change the whole game;
• Edge Legacy support has been dropped;
• Dart Sass is now the main compiler, since LibSass is deprecated;
• The whole color system has been rewritten for consistency and ease of use—and a few contrast ratios are improved in the move;
• CSS custom properties are now prefixed (using bs- as default), using a new Sass variable.

Please read their changelog or post carefully before updating :)

Boosted v5.0.0-alpha3

As for alpha2, a large part of our work was done in Bootstrap directly (mostly on accessibility, CSS, and documentation). And our RTL feature is being reviewed and should land in the first beta release, probably as one of the latest breaking changes in v5!

Apart from a few bug fixes:

• the new accordion component has been customized to match Orange's Web UI Kit;
• the website has been greatly improved, mostly by refactoring our Tarteaucitron implementation;
• the "Icons" documentation now only mentions Solaris and links to design.orange.com.

And there's a lot more to come! Our v5 roadmap​ has been redefined to prioritize and estimate remaining developments. If you want to help, feel free to open a PR against v5-dev! You can also find us on Orange internal communication tool, and are welcome to open an issue or request a feature on GitHub.
