What's New
  • 6 breakpoints: xs, sm, md, lg, xl, xxl
  • Gutter classes: .g-*, .gx-* and .gy-* (inclduing .g-0)
  • Negative margin (disabled by default): .mn-*
  • RTL languages support have impact:
    • …-left and …-right are renamed to …-start and …-end (e.g. .border-start, text-md-end, …)
    • Margin and padding classes changed from .*l-* and .*r-* to .*s-* and .*e-*
    • .text-left and .text-right are changed to .text-start and .text-end
  • <thead> and <tfoot> can have .table-light or .table-dark classes
  • Use .bg- on checkboxes and radio buttons to change color, e.g. 
    <div class="form-check">
  <input class="form-check-input bg-success" type="checkbox" value="" id="flexCheckDefault">
  <label class="form-check-label" for="flexCheckDefault">
    Default checkbox
  </label>
</div>
  • Use .link-* for colored links
  • Use .user-select-all to have a whole element (e.g. paragraph) selected when clicked
  • .lh-* for line-height (.lh-1, .lh-sm, .lh-base, .lh-lg)
