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 ๐Ÿ‘

Finally ๐Ÿ˜ Dropping jQuery and IE11 support is huge!

And I love the shift to the utility-first approach โค๏ธ Not to mention RTL support, dark theme, new components, and new utilities API. Great job!

It looks like The Return of the King ๐Ÿš€
