-## Sass
+### Sass
Changes to our source Sass files and compiled CSS.
- The `media-breakpoint-down()` uses the breakpoint itself instead of the next breakpoint. Use `media-breakpoint-down(lg)` instead of `media-breakpoint-down(md)` to target viewports smaller than the `lg` breakpoint.
- The `media-breakpoint-between()` mixin's second parameter also uses the breakpoint itself instead of the next breakpoint. Use `media-between(sm, lg)` instead of `media-breakpoint-between(sm, md)` to target viewports between the `sm` and `lg` breakpoints.
-## JavaScript
+### JavaScript
Changes to our source and compiled JavaScript files.
- Dropped jQuery dependency and rewrote plugins to be in regular JavaScript.
- Removed underscore from public static methods like `_getInstance()` → `getInstance()`.
-## Color system
+### Color system
We've updated the color system that powers Bootstrap to improve color contrast and provide a much more extensive set of colors.
-- Updated blue and pink base colors (`-500`) to ensure AA contrast.
+- Updated blue and pink base colors (`-500`) to ensure WCAG 2.1 AA contrast.
- Added new tints and shades for every color, providing nine separate colors for each base color, as new Sass variables.
- To support our color system, we've added new custom `tint-color()` and `shade-color()` functions to mix our colors appropriately.
-## Grid and layout
+### Grid and layout
Changes to any layout tools and our grid system.
- The gutter width is now set in `rem` and decreased from `30px` to `1.5rem` (24px).
- `bootstrap-grid.css` now only applies `box-sizing: border-box` to the column instead of resetting the global box-sizing. This way the grid system can be used, even if `box-sizing: border-box` is not applied to each element.
-## Content, Reboot, etc
+### Content, Reboot, etc
Changes to Reboot, typography, tables, and more.
- `.text-*` utilities do not add hover and focus states to links anymore. `.link-*` helper classes can be used instead. [See #29267](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/29267)
- Drop `.text-justify` class. [See #229793](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/29793)
-## Typography
+### Typography
- Removed `$display-*` variables for a new `$display-font-sizes` Sass map.
- Removed individual `$display-*-weight` variables for a single `$display-font-weight`.
- Added two new `.display-*` heading styles, `.display-5` and `.display-6`.
- Resized existing display headings for a slightly more consistent set of `font-size`s.
-## Forms
+### Forms
- Rearranged form documentation under its own top-level section.
- Split out old Forms page into several subpages
- Dropped `.input-group-append` and `.input-group-prepend`. You can now just add buttons and `.input-group-text` as direct children of the input groups.
- Form labels now require the `.form-label` class. Sass variables are now available to style form labels to your needs. [See #30476](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/30476)
-## Components
+### Components
- Unified `padding` values for alerts, breadcrumbs, cards, dropdowns, list groups, modals, popovers, and tooltips to be based on our `$spacer` variable. [See #30564](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/30564).
-### Disabled states
+#### Disabled states
- Disabled states of the buttons, close button, pagination link & form range now have `pointer-events: none` added. This simplifies our codebase and makes it easier to override active states in CSS. [#29296](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/29296).
-### Alerts
+#### 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
Badges were overhauled to better differentiate themselves from buttons and to better utilize utility classes.
- **Todo:** Removed `.badge-pill` for the `.rounded-pill` utility class
- **Todo:** Removed badge's hover and focus styles for `a.badge` and `button.badge`.
-### Buttons
+#### Buttons
- The checkbox/radio toggle is removed from the button plugin in favour of a CSS only solution, which is documented in the [form checks and radios]({{< docsref "/forms/checks-radios#toggle-buttons" >}}) docs. The `.btn-check` class can be added to inputs, any label with `.btn` and modifier class can be used to theme the labels. [See #30650](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/30650).
-### Cards
+#### Cards
- Removed the card columns in favor of a Masonry grid [See #28922](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/28922).
- Removed card decks in favor of the grid which adds more flexibility over responsive behavior.
-### Jumbotron
+#### Jumbotron
- The jumbotron component is removed in favor of utility classes like `.bg-light` for the background color and `.p-*` classes to control padding.
-### Navbars
+#### Navbars
- All navbars now require a container within. This drastically simplifies spacing requirements and removes the need for extensive CSS overrides we added for responsive containers in v4.
-### Pagination
+#### Pagination
- Pagination links now have customizable `margin-left` that are dynamically rounded on all corners when separated from one another.
-### Popovers
+#### Popovers
- Renamed `.arrow` to `.popover-arrow`
-- Renamed `whiteList` option to `allowList`
-### Tooltips
+#### Tooltips
- Renamed `.arrow` to `.tooltip-arrow`
-- Renamed `whiteList` option to `allowList`
-## Accessibility
+### Accessibility
- `.sr-only-focusable` does not require `.sr-only` anymore. [See #28720](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/28720).
-## Utilities
+### Utilities
- Renamed `.text-monospace` to `.font-monospace`
- Decreased the number of responsive order utilities per breakpoint. The highest order utility with a number now is `.order-5` instead of `.order-12`. [See #28874](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/28874).
- **Todo:** Split utilities into property-value utility classes and helpers
- Negative margin utilities are disabled by default. You can re-enable them by setting `$enable-negative-margins: true`, but keep in mind this can increase the file size quite a lot.
