After months of waiting v5 STABLE is finally out.
Stable basically means “ready for production environment”.
- RTL support
- jQuery removed
- Vanilla JavaScript
- Improved grid system
- Improved modularity
- New API
- New responsive font
- Offcanvas component
The stable version of Bootstrap 5 was released on 5.05 - probably not a coincidence.
The switch to plain JS instead of jQuery was the move that the web developers community was waiting for and now that Bootstrap 5 is ready to use in production environments I hope that the industry will swiftly follow by migrating the projects to the new superior version.
Congrats to the Bootstrap team for delivering such a great contribution to the Open Source community for free - despite the obstacles of the recent year 👏
Finally 😍 Dropping jQuery and IE11 support is huge!
And I love the shift to the utility-first approach ❤️ Not to mention RTL support, dark theme, new components, and new utilities API. Great job!
It looks like The Return of the King 🚀
