Bootstrap Less Port Changelog

All notable changes will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

2.5.1 – 2021-04-17

Revert the package.json engines.node version bump from 2.5.0 to prevent breaking builds. (It was intended to reflect the node version used for development, but the engines field is meant to describe the versions required to use the dependency – not develop it.)

Fixed

#29 – Build fails after node engine version bump in package.json

2.5.0 – 2021-02-27

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.6.0. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

2.4.3 – 2021-02-27

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.5.3. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

2.4.2 – 2021-02-27

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.5.2. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

2.4.1 – 2021-02-27

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.5.1. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

2.4.0 – 2021-02-27

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.5.0. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Changed

Updated styles/plugins to match Bootstrap v4.5.0. See the blog post for highlights.
Dev: Updated error handling in test scripts
Dev: Made it possible to run some test scripts from the command line directly (with npm script for some)
Dev: Updated to node v15 (used only for development) from v6
Dev: Removed --experimental-modules flags from commands since it’s no longer required with node 15
Dev: Updated package-lock.json to the v2 format used by npm 7
Dev: Updated dependencies and fixed npm audit security issues
- postcss-cli (7.1.0 → 7.1.2)
- eslint 6.8.0 → 7.20.0
- postcss-cli 6.1.2 → 6.1.3
- node-stream-zip (1.9.1 → 1.13.2)

2.3.1 – 2021-02-27

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.4.1. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Changed

Updated styles/plugins to match Bootstrap v4.4.1. See the blog post for highlights.
Dev: Updated dependencies and fixed npm audit security issues
- autoprefixer 9.7.4 → 9.7.6

2.3.0 – 2020-04-07

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.4.0. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Added

As part of the updates for Bootstrap v4.4.0, three new functions have been added as Less plugins:
- escape-svg() for escaping the SVG data URIs of the icons used in form validation states, custom form inputs, carousel arrows, etc.
- add() and subtract() for outputting addition and subtraction as calc() statements (instead of actually doing the math). These functions only accept two parameters but they can be nested when more are needed (pass false as a third param to inner calls to output just the math and not the calc() wrapper). When the two values are static and use the same units, their computed value will be output instead.

Changed

Updated styles/plugins to match Bootstrap v4.4.0. See the blog post for highlights.
The warn() and error() functions now output relative paths (when possible) for the files they were called from instead of absolute paths. The paths will be relative to the entry-point file. When a file is not in the same path as the entry-point file, the absolute path will still be output.
The .grid-column class that was previously used in place of the Sass version’s %grid-column placeholder-selector has been changed to \%grid-column instead. This avoids potential conflicts for users who might already be using/want to use the .grid-column class for something else. Using a \% prefix is valid and is much less likely to collide with user selectors. Since placeholder-selectors are much more common as of this version, the \% prefix pattern is now being used anywhere the Sass version uses a placeholder.
Dev: Updated testing scripts to account for the pseudo placeholder selectors that are now commonly used

2.2.2 – 2020-03-09

This version fixes an issue that caused an error when compiling the project using the default Less options. Previously, Less had to be configured with the math option set to parens, but this requirement wasn’t documented anywhere, which obviously lead to some confusion.

Instead of adding the additional step, the code has been modified to be compatible with the default math: 'always' option. This should make for a smoother experience installing and using the project overall (especially when it’s being compiled using a wrapper around Less, such as less-loader, angular-cli or ember-cli-less).

Note that this change is backwards compatible and everything will continue to work with the stricter math: 'parens' or math: 'parens-division' options.

Changed

Dev: Updated dependencies and fixed npm audit security issues
- less 3.9.0 → 3.11.1
- autoprefixer 9.6.1 → 9.7.4
- postcss-cli 6.1.3 → 7.1.0
- eslint 6.1.0 → 6.8.0
- node-stream-zip 1.8.2 → 1.9.1

Fixed

#22 – Build fails when using webpack with less-loader

2.2.1 – 2019-07-25

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.3.1. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Note: The only substantial change in this version is the version number. This is a separate release only so that there can be a matching Bootstrap-Less-Port version for each version of Bootstrap 4.

Changed

Dev: Updated dependencies and fixed npm audit security issues
- eslint 6.0.1 → 6.1.0
- postcss-cli 6.1.2 → 6.1.3

2.2.0 – 2019-07-25

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.3.0. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Added

Added new warn() and error() functions to emulate Sass’ @warn and @error at-rules. These functions are primarily meant to be used by Bootstrap but can be used freely in your code if you find them useful.
Added a Bower config, for wider package management support. (Note that the Bower team does not recommend using Bower in new projects, so using npm or yarn is preferred.)

Changed

Updated styles/plugins to match Bootstrap v4.3.0 (see the release notes for details)

Fixed

#10 – Add bower support
#16 – Omitting file extensions for @plugin at-rules causes errors when bundling with Parcel

2.1.1 – 2019-07-20

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.2.1. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Note: The only substantial change in this version is the version number. This is a separate release only so that there can be a matching Bootstrap-Less-Port version for each version of Bootstrap 4.

2.1.0 – 2019-07-20

Aligned code with Bootstrap v4.2.0. See the Bootstrap release notes for details.

Added

Dev: Added testing scripts for comparing the compiled Less CSS to the Sass CSS to ensure they match. Can be used by running npm test <bootstrap_version> on the command line.

Changed

Updated styles/plugins to match Bootstrap v4.2.0 (see the release notes for details)

2.0.0 – 2019-07-08

Less 3! Bootstrap Less Port now uses Less v3.9.0 and its syntax has been updated to leverage v3 features. Be aware that this should not have a major impact on compiled CSS---only the Less syntax used has been updated.

Note: This is possibly a BREAKING CHANGE. With this version, you will only be able to compile the Less source files with Less v3.9.0 or greater. For most users no code changes will actually be needed, but if you’re using a GUI to compile your Less then you’ll need to make sure your GUI supports Less v3.9.0.

With the update to Less 3, improvements have been made in two key areas:

Maps – The map variables used previously (which were actually not maps at all, but nested lists) have been converted to rulesets (which are much more map-like). This means that their properties can now be accessed directly using Less’ property accessor syntax instead of the custom map-get() function. (e.g. @breakpoints[xs] vs map-get(breakpoints, xs))

Property accessors can also be used to get color values from the color rulesets. However, for feature parity (and to avoid any confusion with the Bootstrap docs), Bootstrap’s custom color functions are still supported and can be used as well.
Loops – Previously, recursive mixin loops were used to mimic Sass’ each and for loops. While this worked, it was not ideal and resulted in some verbose code. Now, instead of mixins, Less’ new each() function is used for iteration (in combination with the range() function for lists), whenever possible.

Thanks to these improvements some clunky workarounds used previously were removed, resulting in code that is now much easier to both read and reason about. Special thanks to @calvinjuarez and @matthew-dean for implementing and leading the transition to Less 3!

Added

Added a new map-keys() function for getting the properties from a ruleset as a list, which can be very helpful when iterating using each() (thanks @calvinjuarez!)

Changed

Updated Less peer-dependency version from ^2.6.0 to ^3.9.0
Updated Less syntax to leverage the latest Less features
- Converted “map” variables (nested lists) to rulesets
- Switched to using property accessors instead of the custom map-get() function for getting values from map-like variables
- Switched to each() for iterating instead of mixins (in combination with range() when iterating over lists), where possible
Dev: Updated the command used in the css-compile npm script to use the --math flag instead of the deprecated --strict-math
Dev: Updated dependencies and fixed npm audit security issues
- eslint 4.19.1 → 6.0.1
- autoprefixer 8.6.5 → 9.6.1
- postcss-cli 5.0.1 → 6.1.2
- clean-css-cli 4.1.11 → 4.3.0

Removed

Removed the custom map-get() plugin function. (The property accessor syntax can now be used instead, as noted above.)
