The plan is for this to be the last patch release before v5.4.0 drops.</p> <p>To start, there&rsquo;s a brief update on Bootstrap Themes, with more communication to come. The team has decided to sunset <a href="https://themes.getbootstrap.com">https://themes.getbootstrap.com</a>. As such, we&rsquo;ve removed links to and mentions of the Themes site from our docs in this release to start. Stay tuned for more info.</p> https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2025/08/10/github-secure-open-source-fund/ Sun, 10 Aug 2025 08:40:00 +0000 https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2025/08/10/github-secure-open-source-fund/ <p><a href="https://github.com/mdo">Mark</a> and <a href="https://github.com/julien-deramond/">Julien</a> recently represented Bootstrap in the second round of the <a href="https://github.blog/open-source/maintainers/securing-the-supply-chain-at-scale-starting-with-71-important-open-source-projects/">GitHub Secure Open Source Fund</a> this past June. The program is designed to programmatically and financially improve the security and sustainability of open source projects, and we were honored to be a part of it.</p> <p>GitHub brought together open source maintainers, security experts, and ecosystem partners for an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Throughout three weeks, we had a few days of mixed expert-led presentations, collaborative workshops, and dedicated office hours with security specialists. Between sessions, we had homework: concrete, project-specific actions to immediately strengthen our codebase, workflows, and processes.</p> https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2025/06/17/bootstrap-5-3-7/ Tue, 17 Jun 2025 15:22:00 +0000 https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2025/06/17/bootstrap-5-3-7/ <p>Bootstrap v5.3.7 was just released with some follow-up fixes from our migration to Astro, plus a handful of small fixes.

Here&rsquo;s a recap of what&rsquo;s new in our v1.12.x and v1.13.x releases so far.</p> <h2 id="v112">v1.12</h2> <p>v1.12.0 added a single icon, mostly because people wouldn&rsquo;t stop asking for it haha, and v1.12.1 added a page to the docs for it. That was all for <a href="https://icons.getbootstrap.com/icons/bluesky/">Bluesky</a>.</p> <h2 id="v1130-and-v1131">v1.13.0 and v1.13.1</h2> <p>New in v1.13.0 are several icons, some guidance around how to use Sass files with Vite, and a few little bug fixes to some fill rules. v1.13.1 was a hotfix to resolve an issue with search on our docs.</p> https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2025/05/05/bootstrap-5-3-6/ Mon, 05 May 2025 15:22:00 +0000 https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2025/05/05/bootstrap-5-3-6/ <p>Bootstrap v5.3.6 was just released to migrate our documentation to Astro from Hugo.

Keep reading for the highlights!</p> <h2 id="highlights">Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Fixed a breaking change introduced with color modes where it was required to manually import <code>variables-dark.scss</code> when building Bootstrap with Sass. Now, <code>_variables.scss</code> will automatically import <code>_variables-dark.scss</code>. If you were already importing <code>_variables-dark.scss</code> manually, you should keep doing it as it won&rsquo;t break anything and will be the way to go in v6.</li> <li>Fixed a regression in the selector engine that wasn&rsquo;t able to handle multiple IDs anymore.</li> </ul> <h2 id="color-modes">Color modes</h2> <ul> <li>Badges now use the <code>.text-bg-*</code> text utilities to be certain that the text is always readable (especially when the customized colors are different in light and dark modes).</li> <li>Fixed our <code>color-modes.js</code> script to handle the case where the OS is set to light mode and the auto color mode is used on the website. If you copied the script from our docs, you should apply <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/commit/73e1dcf43eff8371dde52ce41bd1d9fdc2b47d1f">this change</a> to your own script.</li> <li>Fixed color schemes description in the color modes documentation to show that <code>color-scheme()</code> only accept <code>light</code> and <code>dark</code> values as parameters.</li> </ul> <h2 id="miscellaneous">Miscellaneous</h2> <ul> <li>Allowed <code>&lt;dl&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;dt&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;dd&gt;</code> in the sanitizer.</li> <li>Dropped evenly items distribution for modal and offcanvas headers.</li> <li>Fixed the accordion CSS selectors to avoid inheritance issues when nesting accordions.</li> <li>Fixed the focus box-shadow for the validation stated form controls.</li> <li>Fixed the focus ring on focused checked buttons.</li> <li>Fixed the product example mobile navbar toggler.</li> <li>Changed the RTL processing of carousel control icons.</li> </ul> <h2 id="docs">Docs</h2> <ul> <li>Dropped unnecessary right margin for example code blocks.</li> <li>Fixed emphasis text utilities usage in <a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/utilities/background/#background-color">background utilities examples</a> section.</li> <li>Added an technical explanation on how to render an accordion expanded by default.</li> <li>Changed Vite config path import in Vite guide.</li> <li>Enhanced the card image description of the <code>.card-img-*</code> classes.</li> <li>Mentioned <code>shift-color()</code> function in the Sass customization page among <code>tint-color()</code> and <code>shade-color()</code>.</li> <li>Added missing <code>type=&quot;button&quot;</code> attribute to the Cheatsheet examples navigation buttons.</li> <li>Updated the colors table in the customization page to be responsive.</li> </ul> <h2 id="get-the-release">Get the release</h2> <p><strong>Head to <a href="https://getbootstrap.com">https://getbootstrap.com</a> for the latest.</strong> It&rsquo;s also been pushed to npm:</p> https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2023/09/14/bootstrap-5-3-2/ Thu, 14 Sep 2023 14:30:00 +0000 https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2023/09/14/bootstrap-5-3-2/ <p>Bootstrap v5.3.2 is here with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and more follow-up enhancements for color modes. Keep reading for the highlights!</p> <h2 id="highlights">Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Passing a percentage unit to the global <code>abs()</code> is deprecated since Dart Sass v1.65.0. It resulted in a deprecation warning when compiling Bootstrap with Dart Sass. This has been fixed internally by changing the values passed to the <code>divide()</code> function. The <code>divide()</code> function has not been fixed itself so that we can keep supporting node-sass cross-compatibility. In v6, this won&rsquo;t be an issue as we plan to drop support for node-sass.</li> <li>Using multiple ids in a collapse target wasn&rsquo;t working anymore and has been fixed.</li> </ul> <h2 id="color-modes">Color modes</h2> <ul> <li>Increased color contrast of form range track background in light and dark modes.</li> <li>Fixed table state rendering for color modes with a focus on the striped table in dark mode to increase color contrast.</li> <li>Allow <code>&lt;mark&gt;</code> color customization for color modes.</li> </ul> <h2 id="docs">Docs</h2> <ul> <li>Added alternative CDNs section in <a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/getting-started/download/#alternative-cdns">Getting started -&gt; Download</a>.</li> <li>Added Discord and Bootstrap subreddit links in <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/main/README.md">README</a> and <a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/getting-started/introduction/">Getting started -&gt; Introduction</a>: <ul> <li><a href="https://discord.gg/bZUvakRU3M">Discord</a> maintained by the community</li> <li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/bootstrap/">Bootstrap subreddit</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2 id="get-the-release">Get the release</h2> <p><strong>Head to <a href="https://getbootstrap.com">https://getbootstrap.com</a> for the latest.</strong> It&rsquo;s also been pushed to npm:</p> https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2023/09/12/bootstrap-icons-1-11-0/ Tue, 12 Sep 2023 00:01:00 +0000 https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2023/09/12/bootstrap-icons-1-11-0/ <p><a href="https://icons.getbootstrap.com">Bootstrap Icons v1.11.0</a> has arrived with 100 new icons—including new floppy disk icons, additional brand icons, new person icons, new emojis, some birthday cake, a few new science icons, and more.
