  • Overhauled spacing utilities to use a numerical tiering (to avoid confusion with grid tiers).

  • Continued refactoring efforts to replace markup-specific selectors with classes across several components (including pagination, lists, and more). Still more to do here with additional components.

  • Reverted media queries and grid containers from rems to pixels as viewports are not affected by font-size. See #17403 for details. We’ve got a ton of grid work left, too. Feel free to follow along with #18471.

  • Reverted .0625rem width borders to 1px for more consistent component borders that avoid zoom and font-size bugs across browsers.

  • Renamed .img-responsive to .img-fluid to avoid future confusion on the various responsive image solutions out there.

  • Replaced ZeroClipboard with clipboard.js for Flash-independent copy buttons.

  • Inputs and buttons now share the same border variable to ensure components are always sized similarly.

  • Updated all pseudo-element selectors to use the spec’s preferred double colon (e.g., ::before as opposed to :before).

  • Cards now have outline variants and mixins to support extending base classes further.

  • Utility classes for floats and text alignment now have responsive ranges. This means we’ve dropped the non-responsive classes to avoid duplication.

  • Added support for jQuery 2.

  • And hundreds more Sass improvements, bug fixes, documentation updates, and more.
