mini.css v2.0 Development Log

20161012

• Initialized pages for v2.
• Initialized /scss/v2 directory.
• Initialized _base.scss partial file.
• Initialized /flavors/v2 directory.
• Initialized mini-default flavor.
• Initialized DEVLOG.md.
• Started developing base from Normalize.css v5.0.0
  • Removed support for displaying [hidden] in IE 10-.
  • Removed support for the display of template in IE. template is not supported yet in IE, thus this will not make any difference, as long as the element itself is not yet supported.
  • Removed support for the display of canvas in IE 9-.
  • Removed styling fixes for checkboxes and radio buttons in IE 10-.
  • Kept the styling fix for textarea that only affects IE. It seems like it could be useful elsewhere as well. Needs further work!
  • Removed the progress styling fix for IE 9- as the element is not supported in IE 9-.
  • Kept the styling for svg:not(:root) although it only affects IE 9-. This is due to the fact that SVG rendering is very important.
  • Removed the img style fix for IE 10-.
  • Removed the fix for audio:not([controls]) which only applies to iOS 4-7.
  • Kept the styling fix of audio and video for IE 9-, as IE 9 supports both elements.
  • TODO Change mark color to customized from flavor, override normalized default and fix.
  • Kept styling fix of dfn for Android 4.3-, as element is properly supported.
  • TODO,UNCERTAIN Change the font-weight of b and strong elements to a set number (e.g. 700) to avoid the normalize hack.
  • Kept styling fix for abbr in Firefox 39-, as the element is well supported.
  • Kept styling fixes for links (a), as they are a core element in all browsers and they should be supported well even in older browsers.
  • Removed the styling fix for figure for IE 8. figure styling will probably be built from the ground up in the core anyways, so this should not be a problem.
  • Kept styling fixes for figure and figcaption for IE 9-. These elements are supported by IE 9, but not the older versions of IE.
  • Kept the styling fixes for article, aside, footer, header, nav and section for IE 9-. Elements are only supported in IE 9.
• Organized and cleaned the base
  • Merged styling fixes for article, aside, footer, header, nav and section with fixes for figure, figcaption and main.
  • Merged styling for kbd, code, pre and samp.
• Started documenting default flavor.

20161013

• Started coding variables for base of the framework.
• background-color and color of body are going to be #f9f9f9 and #222 respectively (default flavor).
• Defaults for font-family, font-size, line-height remain the same.
• Dropped support for ms-text-size-adjust in the html element, as mobile IE is not well supported by the framework in general.
• Added apply-defaults-to-all flag to apply fonts and styles to all elements except html, setting fonts and sizes for the whole document properly.
• Set basic styles for headers.
• Change to the color of small elements in headers from #555 to #444.
• Built styling for horizontal rules, fixes apply as before.
• hr elements get a margin for left and right (4px). This is a design decision for the flavor.
• hr top and bottom margins changed to 0.5em from 0.7em.
• Removed the font-size: 1em for the code elements (code, pre, kbd, samp) as they should normally be styled using the first style that applies to html and all elements. Highly suggested to use $apply-defaults-to-all: true; always.
• Added variables for code, pre, kbd, samp and a flag for samp ($style-samp-element) to make sure that no unnecessary styles are added if the samp element is not to be used by the developer.
• Added conditions to make sure the least amount of code is used and no defaults are redefined when styling code. kbd, samp and pre.
• Changed padding of pre elements to 6px and later to 8px. Changed color for hr to #666 and later to #888.
• Styling and optimization for small, sub and sup elements.
• Changed font-size of small, sub and sup elements to 75%.
• Changed all header margins to be 8px left and right.
• Added margin for paragraphs (1px top and bottom and 10px left and right).
• Specified fancy styling flag ($horizontal-rule-fancy-style) for hr elements and variable ($horizontal-rule-fancy-gradient) to specify linear gradient styling to be used instead of the default border styling. This styling supports most browsers, but does not work with IE 9- and Opera Mini. Prefix -webkit is added to support some browsers.
• Added variable for bold elements to set font-weight manually, so that no problems occur and users can fine-tweak this to their liking.
• Removed fix for b and strong as the above change addresses the issue.
• pre padding set to 12px instead of 8px.
• Added overflow: auto; to pre elements so that they are responsive and display properly on all devices.

20161014

• Added extra styling option for small elements in headers using a flag ($make-header-smalltext-block) and two variables ($header-smalltext-b-font-size and $header-smalltext-b-top-margin) to customize the styling of such elements.
• Minor changes to the way the index page looks for the version 2. Changed tagline and added version codename.
• Added github buttons under title in the index page.
• Optimized the way small element styling is applied in headers when it is displayed as a block.
• Added fancy styling for pre elements with a flag ($add-pre-element-sidebar) and a corresponding variable ($pre-element-sidebar-style).
• Added margin for pre elements to be in line with paragraphs.
• Changed borders for pre elements: left-side borders' border-radius is now 0.
• Changed index, centered title etc.
• Deployed first live demo version of the framework's demo index.

20161015

• Updated references to background-color and background-image to use the background shorthand instead.
• Changed palette white from #f9f9f9 to #fcfcf to pass all WCAG tests.
• Added styling for mark elements to serve as primary contextual elements.
• Added mixin for mark elements (make-mark-alt-color) to make variants of the mark element (secondary and tertiary).
• Made color palette for marks, passes all WCAG tests.
• mark element styling (padding, margin, font-size, line-height) implemented and optimized.
• Optimized mark color variant mixin.
• Tweaked values of mark color variants to be less strict but still pass the WCAG AA test and most other tests (sometimes they won't pass the WCAG AAA test but that's ok).
• Added mixin for mark elements (make-mark-alt-style) to make style variants (tag and bubble). Optimized.
• Added some more text to demo index.
• Deployed live demo index.
• Created svg logo.
• Added logo to demo page.
• Created favicon from logo.
• Added favicon to demo page.
• Changed color palette to use material colors for primary, secondary and tertiary, passes most tests (usually is ok in almost 100% of cases).
• Updated page to test mark in headers.
• Deployed live version with updated tags.

20161019

• More fiddling with palettes. Tried to update colors to material design: body color is now #212121. body background is now #fafafa. small inside header color is now #424242. Codeblock background is now #e0e0e0 and pre sidebar border-color is #1565c0. mark backgrounds changed to #0277bd, #f44336 and #558b2f respectively.
• Added display: inline-block to mark alternate styles, to avoid splitting of the element into smaller parts (e.g. broken pills).
• Started styling links. a color will be #0277bd normally.
• Added background property to a in order to apply underlining using image.
• Added flag for a text-decoration:underline ($apply-link-underline) and checks/optimizations for font-weight.
• Removed fixes from Normalize about a elements, as they were opinionated and unnecessary.
• Added flag for a using fancy :hover and other focused effects instead of color ($apply-link-hover-fade).
• Opened issue for module restructure (#14).
• Module restructure based on issue #14 (partial for whatever work was already done):
  • Renamed _base.scss to _core.scss and created folder for submodules (mini-core).
  • Created _contextual.scss for mark styling.
  • Comments and sections for core.
• Changed import in flavor, imported contextual in core.
• Corrected and finalized display of abbr elements with a title attribute: Border fix for older Firefox version was kept, dropped some styling for the underline, underline will now always be normal text-decoration: underline on all browsers (opinionated).
• Kept display fix for audio and video for IE 9, as the elements are supported, moved to top of head.
• Added flag ($include-dfn-fix) to enable/disable the fix of dfn element on older Android versions based on user preference.
• Disabled said flag, due to hope that when this framework releases, there will be too few people using said older Android versions, so this will not be an issue. Also, dfn is not a very commonly used element in a lot of pages, might go unnoticed.
• Moved fix for svg in IE at the top.
• Added TODOs for other fixes.
• Updated index page, probably broke the live version for a while.

20161020

• Added some more comments for enabling and disabling modules from core.
• Browser-specific prefixed properties will now precede unprefixed ones. Changes have been applied.
• Started styling progress bars in mini-core/progess.
• Since CSS3 transitions are supported unprefixed a lot and mostly older browsers use prefixes, no prefixed versions will be added. Apart from that, if the transitions do not play on older browsers, there will be no significant changes, meaning the experience will be less rich but functionally the same.
• progress background set to #f5f5f5 to achieve a very pale shadow effect. Some users might not see that color difference but that's ok.
• progress foreground set to #01579b (dark blue from material palette).
• progress element tweak added to work in IE 10+. Older browsers will probably default to their original display for the element. This is on intentional (Opera Mini is also not supported).
• Changed conditions for progress styling, as the [value] attribute did not make a huge difference. Progress elements that do not have a [value] attribute will almost always cause trouble on some browsers, no matter what. Thus, it is suggested to set a value="0" if possible. Otherwise, Javascript shall be used.
• Opened question on StackOverflow about transitions for progress bars.
• Added mixin for progress bars that are inline make-progress-inline and used it to create inline class for progress elements.
• Opinionated vertical-aling: middle for said mixin and display: inline-block to make sure everything works according to what it should.
• width of said mixin's result is specified in em (20em specifically) to make sure it will work well on all screen and is dependent on text.
• Optimized inline progress mixin.
• Added condition for progress margin to optimize for 0.
• Created mixin for color variants of progress (make-progress-alt-color) and added style imports for secondary and tertiary elements. Optimized.
• Used slightly different colors from mark variatns for progress color variants (all material).
• Created mixin make-progress-alt-style for style variants of progress.
• Created nano variant for progress (nanobar progress) using above mixin.
• Documented mixins for progress, optimized etc.

20161021 (last change a bit past midnight but still counts)

• Created mini-core/grid for flexbox grid system.
• Opened relevant breaking changes issue (#16).
• Opened issue for progress element's transitions on value change.
• Started project for feature backlog on Github.
• Created basis for grid system container (fluid only) - grid.

• Updated breaking changes issue with more information.
• Added some comments and moved the notes in the flavor file.
• Added set of variables for class names, prefixes, columns, breakpoints etc for grid system.
• Added definitions for extra small screen sizes, using loops etc. Optimized accordingly, tested on local demo.
• Added definitions for small screen sizes, optimized, test on local demo.
• Added definitions for medium and large screen sizes, optimized and tested locally.
• Updated grid definitions to add $grid-column-padding so that users can customize the padding for columns.

20161023

• Removed table-layout: fixed; from tables.
• Added mini-core/button and started testing button styling.
• Removed the reset for :-moz-focusring (outline: 1px dotted ButtonText) for buttons as it was unnecessary and didn't look great.
• Moved fix for ::-moz-focus-inner to the button module.
• Moved generic fix for Android, iOS and Safari to button module.
• Removed generic styling reset for button, input, optgroup, select and textarea based on the fact that the styles are already applied in the first rule html, *.
• Split some fixes into generic and button-specific.
• Moved ::-webkit-file-upload-button fixes to the button module.
• Proof-of-concept for button module defaults and core, file input is not styled yet (will be done via label hack).
• TODO Softcode the button module's defaults, add extra styles, classes etc.
• Deployed live demo with hardcoded buttons to test.

20161024

• Rebuilt grid system to work with 3 screen sizes instead of 4. Legacy system is now used only if a flag ($use-four-step-grid) is enabled.
• Three-step grid breakpoints tweaked to 800px and 1080px accordingly.
• Deployed live demo with new grid.

20161025

• Issue maintenance and minor changes to issue structure on Github.
• Due to implicit labeling (e.g. <label>Name:<input></label>) not being correctly handled by some assistive technologies, explicit labels will be used for the file <input> elements.
• Added $hide-file-inputs flag to decide the styling of file <input> elements.
• Softcoded changes and optimized some things in the button module.
• Updated demo page.
• Added and optimized make-button-alt-color mixin, created primary color variant.
• Added secondary and tertiary button variants using the mixin. Tested colors.
• Added button overrides for links styled as buttons for text-decoration: underline and &:hover { opacity: 0.75}. Should now not give away the fact that it's a link.
• Added make-button-alt-style mixin, created small and large style variants.
• Added and tested an entirely custom button style that does something very different compared to the original variants. Variables and mixins included in the flavor file, but are commented out, as they are only used as a demonstration. TODO Add a blog post later down the line where I design a full flavor using the files etc., showcasing things like these.
• Forms module started at mini-core/form.
• input element selection is based on not:() selectors instead of straightforward selection as this is more compact in terms of code and allows for non-standard inputs like date types to by easily styled.
• Added a list of TODOs in the form module, tried some base styling just to make sure everything works.
• Moved style links at the very top of the <head> of the page.
• Updated live demo with latest stylesheet (again).

20161026

• Added textarea and select to the form input styling.
• Added rule for :not([type="hidden"]).
• Added form element styling (hardcoded still).
• Added demo forms for inline and aligned.
• Modified input background-color from #f5f5f5 to #fafafa. Changed background-color to background.

20161030

• Opened issue about certain input elements.
• Dropped styling for range and color inputs.
• Changed form styling a little bit (hardcoded).
• Added styling for placeholders.
• Defined styles for fieldset, legend and custom class for input and label grouping (input-group).
• Added variables for form styling.
• Softcoded most of the stuff for form styling.
• Tested form styling thoroughly and optimized code.
• Moved fixes from core to form module for most of the form elements (except search).
• Deployed updated live page.
• Decided to avoid styling search input types, due to lack of support for magnifying lens icon for most search inputs. Generally speaking this can easily be added by the user.
• Reorganized the loading order of modules in core.
• Added search fixes to form module.
• DESIGN DECISION To deal with accessibility concerns and the very "hacky" way navigation was implemented in the previous version, the following design decisions have been made.
  1. The top menu will be based around the header element and will not be able to do display: fixed. This will allow content over the fold to appear when important content exists in the menu. Space for a logo and some additional things will be added there.
  2. nav will be used as a vertical menu, not fixed, that will display any navigational content as required by the user. This is the traditional navigation menu. It will be embeddable in a grid column left or right based on user preference.
  3. Dropdown components will be removed, as the top bar does not need them to work properly and the side bar can be toggled with code.
  4. Sidebar collapsing will not be added as a checkbox hack anymore, but users will be able to use Javascript for that.
  5. An example of Javascript will be added for said collapse.
• All checkbox and radio elements will be display: none by default. Grouping one in an input-group with a label will give the desired style to the label.
• Created module mini-core/checkbox.
• Started styling checkboxes and radio buttons. Got most of the styling done, hardcoded.
• Updated demo again.

20161102

• Updated checkbox and radio styles for accesibility. Now they are visible to screen readers.
• Added style for :hover, :focus, :active for the label elements of the checkbox module.
• Added tabindex marks for labels in the checkbox module demo.
• Added styling for readonly and disabled for checkbox module.
• Updated checkbox module and added variables.
• Added issue for flag use-checkbox-tick-mark to allow for one of two styles for checkboxes and variables according to that. Implementation pending for v2.1 or similar.
• Minor updates to button and form for CSS consistencies.
• Added variables for checkbox module, optimized a little bit. (Some optimizations do not make sense, like no-border checkboxes and radio buttons, so I omitted them for this reason).
• Added edge case for tabbing to checkbox for focus, which will make the label's box border glow to the blue-ish shade usually used.
• Removed readonly styling for checkbox and radio as it does not work due to technicalities.
• Updated demo page for checkbox module.
• Created mini-core/navigation for the navigational components.
• Cleanup in core, moved fixes for navigational to proper file, moved leftover fixes to their proper place.
• Added responsiveness for img.
• Updated demo page for checkbox module.
• Changed inline progress elements to use vw instead of em. Fixed a rare bug that would be caused due to that.
• Coded the header element's styling. Optimized.
• Made header responsive.
• Added demo for header element.
• Updated live page for header.
• NOTE There is some bleedthrough of styles from button to navigation, specifically for header. This is not a problem, but should be noted for further reference/testing etc.
• Extended testing for header, there seem to be no bugs.
• Deployed demo page with header.
• Added simple styling for nav. Created iteration builder for sublink and categories tree.
• Tested and optimized nav, added demo to index.
• Deployed demo page again.
• Added styling and variables for footer.
• Changed optimization for links in footer and nav to not distinguish between :visited links and normal ones, style needed reapplication.
• Tested footer component styling.
• Added footer to the demo page.
• Changed demo page structure to follow the ordering of modules in core.
• Tweaked progress inline to 60vw instead of 80vw, should fit more screens properly.
• Added a heading for the utility module section in demo page.
• Deployed demo page yet again.
• Created mini-core/utility for utilities and helper classes.
• Copied almost verbatim the mixins from v1 for make-border-generic and make-border-radial-style. Added variables and calls for mixins in flavor.
• Copied and tweaked make-breadcrumbs mixin from v1's extras.
• Changed the way breacrumbs are built (use some em-based padding now instead of some whitespaces).
• Dropped mixin for make-btn-group, opened issue (#23) to later build it.
• Added utility mixin make-hidden from v1, exactly the same.
• Added new utility mixin make-visually-hidden for accessible elements that are visually hidden.
• Added make-floats and make-center-block mixins along with make-clearfix mixin from v1.
• Explained utilities in demo page.
• Deployed demo page with utilities docs.
• Started developing shell. Added shell file and mini-shell/card file for the card module.
• Actually deleted shell file, moved everything to core file, renamed to mini.scss.
• Played around with cards a little bit, got a few basic ideas down, tested centering in row, not worthwhile.
• Some minor styling for cards has been done, lots of work needed still.

20161103

• Added some more info in issue #16 about breaking changes and cards etc.
• Added the proper features needed for media inside cards, images and other parts named as media will respond as required and images will resize and center properly. This, in turn broke support for certain browsers.
• Added flexbox properties to cards to align-self and justify-content so that contents and containers will display properly.
• Created large and small variants for cards.
• Optimized cards and added variables etc.
• Tested cards, seem to work properly.
• Minor restructure of utility for consistency and such.
• Created mixin make-card-section-alt-color for alternate background card sections. Added a couple of variants just for fluff.
• Opened issue for more mixins to be added to card module later.
• Deployed live page.

20161104

• Added mixin make-card-alt-color to card module. Supplied an example of a different card (primary).
• Added mixin make-card-alt-size for card sizes.
• Changed card's small and large to use above mixin.
• Added fluid for cards.
• Fixed a bug with fluid cards, the new optimization and checking routine should work for all percentage-based values.
• Updated demo a little bit to showcase all of the new features of cards.
• For consistency reasons (inconsistent margins might cause problems with cards of different types), there is no choice to change the margin of customized cards through via mixin.
• Created mixin make-card-section-alt-style, added double-padded style to add twice the padding to sections.
• Deployed updated demo page.
• Added a new mixin add-grid-row-cards-alignment without parameters that allows rows to align the elements they contain automatically horizontally.
• Deployed demo again.

20161109

• Changed checkbox module a little bit to use floor() functions to fill the :after part, so that everything will look kinda tidier on most browsers. This has been modified after testing on more screens and noticing some minor discrepancies with the way radios are presented.
• Created mini-shell/accordion for the accordion/collapse module (accordion from now on).
• Started styling the accordion component.
• DESIGN DECISION The accordion component will be used both for single collapses and multiple ones.
• Added accessibility to accordion component.
• Tweaked the way the accordion works to use transform: scaleY() so that the transition will work with it. Using height did not work due to the value of auto when content was shown.
• Fixed bug with clip and clip-path in Chrome for accordion module.
• Changed the way accordion works to use variables. Optimized code.
• Added demo for accordion to the index page.
• Tweaked values and colors of accordion. Tested in both Chrome and Firefox.
• Added support for -webkit- prefix for transform to support some browsers.
• Updated demo page for accordion with radios as well.
• Added a small section about tabs and carousels, just to allow me to test presentation a bit more.
• Deployed demo page with accordion demo.
• Added mini-shell/tab and mini-shell/spinner for the tab and spinner modules accordingly.
• Created spinner-dot class and custom-tailored the spinner for that. NOTE This spinner does not work perfectly fine with many elements, some tweaking might be required.
• Created spinner-donut class and made styling for that spinner.
• Added mixin make-spinner-donut-alt-color to allow for custom spinner styles. No optimizations are applied to this mixin, due to the fact that overwriting the background might cause trouble with the foreground etc.
• Optimized and softcoded most of the spinner module's stuff.
• Tested tab system for a while, tried out a lot of things, hardcoded demo.
• Fixed a variable naming discrepancy with $tab-container-name/$tabs-container-name.
• Softcoded tab module with variables. Optimized.
• Added responsiveness to tab module.
• Tested tab module thoroughly on both Firefox and Chrome (PC), will test further on phone.
• DESIGN DECISION The accordion and collapse module will be merged with the tab and carousel module. This is a very well-thought out decision, based on the fact that accordion components behave like stacked tab components. This means that users will be forced to use a heavier module for both components (which might not be beneficial if they only wish to use the accordion component), however this helps users mnemonically, by allowing more functionality in one technically identical structure. The specifics of this decision are laid out below:
  1. The stacked class will be used for a tabs container, so that an accordion component can be easily emulated.
  2. Some of the versatility of the accordion class will be sacrificed to allow stacked tabs to include the same functionality. Minor changes can still be made manually.
  3. The tabs module will use different transformation tricks for stacked and normal tabs. Specifically, the responsive stacked tabs on smaller screens will use preset height, while stacked tabs will use height: auto;.
  4. All controls for both types of tabs will be hidden from screen readers to make the content accessible as-is.
  5. The old accordion module will be retired and possibly stored in a legacy folder. People that only want that old-school accordion module can use it.
  6. stacked tabs will allow both checkbox and radio inputs, normal ones will not allow checkbox. This is in line with the philosophy of the two components.
  7. Carousels can still be built using any of the two styles.
  8. stacked tabs will feature their own color scheme for some things to allow more customization within the module.
  9. Both components will use a generic :hover effect.
  10. The transforms applied before to accordion will still apply to stacked tabs.
• Refactored code of tabs to work with the above decision, removed obsolete artifacts from the accordion module.
• Made a few minor tweaks, decided not to add accordion-specific styling, as the current styling is just enough.
• Edited the demo page to include most of the new functionality.
• TODO Move accordion.scss to the legacy folder etc.
• Deployed live demo.
• Tested on mobile, found some presentational problems.
• Minor change to the way transitions work for tabs, they will now all utilize the transform implementation.
• Deployed updated live demo page.
• Tested on mobile, works better.
• Minor tabs update for :first-of-type and :last-of-type selectors. This update should fix square top-right corners for single collapses.
• Deployed live demo.
• New module restructure: all modules will be moved to core, some merges might have to be applied (check issue #14). Restructure was applied as follows:
  • Added the functionality of the new alert module to contextual. Includes mixin make-alert-alt-color for different alert color variants.
  • Restructured folders. mini-shell removed, mini-core renamed to mini. mini is the core folder now.
  • Created branch v1-neutrino both locally and on Github to support legacy versions in the future. master is now the branch for Fermion only.
  • Aggressive deletion of older files. The following folder are now gone: scss/mini, scss/mini-extra, flavors except for the contents of the v2 folder and the folder itself.
  • Renamed mini.scss to core.scss, moved to the scss/v2/mini directory.
  • Deleted accordion module file as it was obsolete.
  • Renamed scss directory to src. Renamed flavors directory to dist.
  • Moved flavors from their directory to the src directory. CSS files produced from flavor files will go to the dist folder, along with the minified versions.
  • TODO Update the package.json and bower.json files according to the new framework version.
  • Updated live demo page reference to use the new structure.

20161110

• Continued module restructure and cleanup as follows:
  • Code cleanup in core, indentation change to tabs for consistency, indentation fixes etc.
  • Started converting media queries from only screen and () to plain (). Changes have been applied to grid module.

• Added modular box-shadow for pre, code, kbd and mark.
• Added border-style and border-radius to mark contextual defaults.
• Changed padding of mark elements.
• Added modular box-shadow to alerts.
• Added modular box-shadow for form, decided not to add for fieldset due to the way it displays and how it sort of clashes with the ideas of material design.
• Added modular box-shadow for button and button-like elements.
• Added modular box-shadow for header decided not to add for nav and footer.
• Added modular box-shadow for progress element.
• Added modular box-shadow for table element. Tweaked to be responsive on smaller screens.

• Deployed live demo with new features.

20161111

• Rebuilt breadcrumbs from scratch. Uses flexbox.
• Changed clearfix, center-block, hidden and visually-hidden from mixins to normal components.
• Changed the appearance of button-group, it will now use border and border-radius more creatively to get rid of unnecessary and excessive styling.
• Added mixin make-box-shadow-generic in utility, used it to create a class for box-shadow:none; just in case.
• Added mixin in progress make-spinner-donut-alt-style for spinner-donut and created large variant with it.
• Added extra variables and styles for grid reordeing for first, last and normal (reset).

20161113

• Added docs/v2/playground.html to more extensively test some of the components, especially cards and more specifically fluid ones.
• Added the fix for fluid cards using width: auto; which was supposed to solve some issues (see #31).
• Figured out a new design paradigm for fluid cards inside col- elements: if two separate div containers are used, no card "spilling" is observed. This could be either a temporary or a permanent solution depending on the complexity of the real issue at hand. However Fermion can initially release like this, as the issue is considered controlled and stable for now.
• Removed the old fix from the index page, updated as needed.
• Removed a typo in the index page that read Reponsive.
• Figured out a good enough solution for the fluid card problem.
• Pushed the urgent fluid card fix to all deployed pages.
• Removed the playground page as its purpose was fulfilled.

• Squashed another major bug in the make-card-alt-size mixin, stemming from the use of the conditions and logical operators in that. The issue was thoroughly tested and resolved for all cases. && was replaced with and in said condition combination.
• Tested some minor color issues with the page's background color and the cards' background color. Made some adjustments, uncertain if I will keep them.
• Added $table-body-back-color, $table-body-fore-color and $table-head-fore-color in addition to the existing $table-head-back-color and optimized them accordingly.

• Changed the value of $tab-stacked-breakpoint to 767px in line with above changes.
• Added th to the accessible hiding rule in the table module as a safeguard for different things.
• Heavily edited the table module. Desktop view now includes whole ruleset inside the table element, so no leaks will happen. Did the same for the responsive part of the module.
• Added support for horizontal and non-responsive tables in the table module. Added lots of new variables and rules as needed.
• Tested new table module functionality thoroughly. Everything seems to work like a charm, even if the implementation is a little bit fiddly due to flexbox playing some tricks.

v2.1.0 Development log

20170106

• Created a new branch for the development of v2.1.0.
• Added $include-parent-layout flag, which will allow rows declaring column layout for children.
• Implemented the whole simple layout structure for the grid module, allowing a .row to set the layout of its children, using a .cols-{SZ}-{WD} class.
• Decided to include the new grid system in the mini-default flavor, as its functionality could be beneficial to a lot of people. The new filesize (gzipped) is 6.47KB over the previous 6.32KB.
• Added what is basically an auto-grid option in .row.cols-sm and similar for other sizes, that auto-sizes all columns in a given row. Might come in handy.
• Updated index.html to show under 10KB instead of about 5KB in the Minimal card in order to deal with the controversy surrounding this specific line.

20170107

• Thoroughly tested position: sticky for header elements. It seems to work quite fine. - #24
• Tested position: sticky for breadcrumbs and other elements. Layout seems to get in the way quite a lot. Implementation might only be viable for header elements for now.
• Added $include-header-sticky flag and required variables to implement the .sticky class.
• Tested a new layout idea in demo.html, this is how the new index.html should look like in the next update (top part only).
• Updated index.html to use the new .sticky header, along with other styling changes, such as content sizing.
• TODO Update the rest of the pages, bump everything to v2.1.0 and use the local stylesheets in the meantime.
• Content spacing changes in index.html.

20170108

• Added $include-footer-bottom flag, coded the necessary parts for absolute-bottom-aligned footer elements. - Resolved #42
• Updated all pages to use the new footer absolute-alignment. Should solve some issues on different devices.
• Changed the implementation of the new footer to sticky, instead of absolute.
• Rolled back all pages that were affected. Should work like a charm now!
• Finalized the sticky footer.

20170113

• Added support for ARIA role="button" in the input_control module by default. Filesize has bloated to a horrifying 6.92KB.
• Highly optimized input_control module's buttons and button groups, by removing redundant selectors, based on specificity, bringing down the filesize to a managable 6.59KB again.
• Optimized sticky footers and headers a little bit. Should have no effect on filesize.

20170116

• Added $include-horizontal-table flag in table module to conditionally enable/disable the horizontal tables.
• Updated breadcrumbs component in the utility module to properly utilize the ceil() Sass function, so that no white line errors are shown, effectively fixing the only bug I managed to find with the component's presentation.
• Updated utility module's visually-hidden to properly do its job.
• First demo of the tooltip component. Works properly. Needs some tweaks to display a top and bottom variant, based on user choice.

20170118

• tooltip added to contextual module, minor changes to it, allows both top and bottom versions at the same time.
• Updated tooltip component to use variables.
• Added mixins for tooltip. Tested them.

• Played with hugging cat to prepare it for the update.

20170127

• tooltip updated, dealing with a small misalignment bug in alternate styles.
• Added $nav-include-sublink-bar flag for nav element's subcategories to add a sidebar to them. Styled them as necessary and used proper variables. Tested reasonably extensively, no bugs should be present.
• With the addition of the new nav sidebar to the main flavor, the file size is now 6.86KB. This is very close to the final size for the v2.1.0 release, as most of the new features have been added already.
• Added label element padding via variables to address certain issues. Tweaked checkbox and radio components to match changes.
• Added flag for fluid input-groups and created the related component. fluid input-groups will now be part of the default flavor, taking the file size up to 6.93KB, which is probably the final size of the next release. - Deals with #50.

20170131

• Added flags for floats and clearfix, turned both utilites of by default, as they are mostly useless.
• After removing the two components mentioned above, size is now 6.89KB.
• center-block turned off using a flag by default. File size is now 6.87KB. All legacy utilites have been disabled by default.
• Updated utility.html page to reflect the fact that these utilities are no longer present by default.
• Updated quick_reference.html to reflect the fact that these utilities are no longer present by default.

20170201

• Changed hugging cat's clothes. It's February now!
• Added hidden flag $input-high-specificity-selectors to input_control to deal with high specificity selectors for input elements.
• Tested the new input styling, does not seem to cause any trouble with button-type inputs, thus it will probably be the default choice from now on. File size dropped to an astonishing 6.72KB, which seems like a pretty great tradeoff. Some more tweaks might be required, but this should be mostly fine!
• Tweaked the input styling to make sure all button-type inputs are properly styled.
• Added :hover and :disabled selectors to input elements, making sure as many states as possible are covered now.
• Cleaned :focus:invalid:focus selector, as I could not find any test cases for it. Size is now 6.75KB.
• Added safeguard for the progress element's .nano variant's case with margin of 0. Should now behave properly.
• Added @supports statement to help tooltip component place itself whenever possible. Changed a few of the selectors in tooltip to be as specific as needed and work as required.
• Updated tooltip mixin to reflect the above changes.

20170202

• Added [role="button"] selector for elements inside header, did not remove any other selectors from component as specifity would be too low if changed.
• Updated .card.section to work properly with [role="button"] elements.

v2.1.1 Development log

20170329

• Started code cleanup and updating.
• Updated core by moving all of the variable definitions and defaults at the top of the module's file.
• Updated both flavor files to deal with the indentation and column problems (only for the core module so far). Readability is a lot better, but consistency is a little bit worse. For all intents and purposes, this is the way to go for this release, as the previous styling was impossible to read for the most part in many setups.

20170330

• Updated grid by moving variable definitions and defaults to the top of the module.
• Updated flavor files, dealing with indentation and readability.
• Updated navigation by moving variable definitions and defaults. Added hidden flag $header-colorize-svgs for a hacky fix that was there before (just in case).
• Updated flavor files, made most multiline comments up to navigation into single line comments in order to make the flavor files shorter while maintining readability.
• Added an extra hidden flag in navigation under $include-nav-styles to make sure that nav elements can be removed from flavors (possibly not present in the barebones flavor).
• Updated input_control, splitting into main file and mixins file. Added hidden flag $hide-check-and-radio and standardized existing one ($input-high-specificity-selectors).
• Cleanup and housekeeping for readability in flavor files for updated input_control.
• TODO Make class naming rules more consistent in module defaults - meaning add all class naming defaults to the very top of all modules, saving time and space when simplified flavors kick in.
• Updated table module's definitions and variables, added hidden flag $include-striped-table in order to make sure .striped tables can be turned on and off.
• Cleanup of relevant variables and comments in flavor files.
• Updated card module, splitting into main file and mixins, cleanup in flavor files for the module.
• Updated tab module, adding an extra hidden flag $include-stacked-tabs for toggling .stacked tabs on and off, cleanup of flavor files.
• Updated contextual module, splitting file and adding hidden flag $include-alerts for toggling .alerts on and off. Added @error messages in mixins in case the mixins are called without the corresponding components enabled. Should be a welcome change during compilation.
• Flavor cleanup for contextual module.
• Updated progress, splitting file and adding hidden flag $include-spinner-donut for toggling spinning donuts on and off. Added @error messages accordingly.
• Flavor cleanup for progress module's updates.
• Updated utility module, added proper hidden flags to $include-breadcrumbs and $include-close-icon to make it easier to disable those components.
• Cleanup in both flavor files is now complete, added maintainers to the mini-sucroa file to meake it easier for people to reach the team behind it.
• Added simple styling for figcaption element in core, updated both flavors with the required variables to make it usable.
• After inspecting grid, it is clear that no changes will be required at all in terms of variables.
• Minor restructure in core's modules. More might be coming (more defaults - possibly in their own file).
• Updated defaults for grid just to be more in line with everything else.
• Updated navigation's defaults to include class name defaults. Added external variables in navigation to remedy the problems that stem from single module usage.
• Updated input_control with new hidden flag $include-button-group just in case and external variables, plus all the needed class names at the very top.
• Updated table module with the required external variables and required names.
• Added external variables to card.
• Updated tab module with default breakpoint and added external variables as required.
• Added external variables to contextual.
• Updated defaults for progress module, no externals were needed.
• Added more default values to utility. Default and external adding seems complete, I might have missed something, but good enough for now.

20170402

• Updated @media queries in all modules to utilize screen, so that layout changes will only apply to screens (irrelevant in print). print stylesheets are coming later down the line and all layouts will print as if in small screens (basically col-sm-... layouts), to simplifiy everything. Size increased from 6.79KB to 6.82KB, worthwhile cost.
• Added resposnive hiding (both normal and accessible) in utility_mixins via the make-hidden-responsive and make-visually-hidden-responsive mixins. Both have as many defaults as possible to make things easier.
• Updated make-margin-responsive and make-padding-responsive mixins to make sure they are now compatible with four-step grid (legacy).
• Added .hidden- and .visually-hidden- elements to both flavors via new mixins. Current size for default is 6.88KB gzipped, reasonable tradeoff for a much requested and needed feature.
• TODO update documentation pages to showcase the new responsive hiding, add codepen etc.

20170403

• Minor update to input_control's code to fix a small problem with it.
• Started developing mini-lite flavor (lite) as a very lightweight barebones base for the framework, using the default style for the most part. Size is under 5KB for starters.
• Updated lite, removed extra stuff, made it as simple as possible, still under 5KB.
• Tested lite using a quick demo in Codepen (TODO actually make a demo of it in a Codepen), no problems found, runs great.

• Decided to change preferred CDN from rawgit to gitCDN as it seems more stable and easier to use.
• Opened issue in cdnjs's repo for the library not auto-updating.
• Created mostly empty pages for all modules under /customization.

20170411

• TODO Actually explain what the deal with Pull requests is, using a dev branch OR use cdnjs, provided the fact that it is now updated to the latest release (will it stay that way?).
• Tweaked the way border was used inside blockquote, ordering wasn't doing me any favors. Should not cause any problems now. Random catch, thank you hugging cat!
• Added $samp-element-box-shadow for consistency, mostly.
• Fully documented customization page for core module.
• Fully documented customization page for grid module.

20170412

• Documented navigation module's customization page.

• Updated framework sizes and version for front page.

20170419

• Added new contributor to README.
• Have hugging cat a hug, seemed excited.
• Created templates (6 of them), built templates page for showcasing them and added links to it from everywhere.
• Added a list bullet in the index page to help people get to the templates more easily.
• Updated nord flavor to be fully up-to-date with the latest version of mini.css.
• Added maintainers to all flavors.
• Updated CHANGELOG to reflect latest changes for v2.1.1.

v2.1.2 Development Log

20170421

• Updated .npmignore to not include the prepros-6.config file.
• Updated package.json with proper homepage link, changed order of keywords, added node-sass in devDependencies.
• Added ::placeholder styling (no-prefix), dealing with #36.
• Bumped all flavor files to include updated ::placeholder definitions.
• Updated .animated .alerts to deal with the way webkit renders them (#35).
• Bumped flavors again.
• Updated the way the version tag of the homepage displays (or not) on mobile devices.
• Fixed capitalization for npm in all pages, updated version tag everywhere (hopefully), getting ready for v2.1.2.
• Updated flavor files with latest version tag.
• Checked yarn's packaging, all systems nominal, added to download options.
• Updated CHANGELOG and README.
• Fixed a couple of problems in doc pages post-release, added secondary navigation to quick_reference.

v2.1.3 Development Log

20170427

• (Updated a few minor things in doc pages in the last week.)
• Created a demo.html under docs to test flavor redesign.
• Reworked a lot of the default flavor's colors. It should now look less flat and a little bit more rich in terms of coloration, making it more aesthetically pleasing.
• Font ratio set to ~1.189207 for heading elements, should now look more consistent and pixel-clean.
• Cleaned up a lot of the code and started using rem and more em than percentages and pixels whenever possible.
• Removed underline from nav links.
• Updated card module, removing the specific fix for input and button elements and replacing it with a more generic solution that can work for any element (so now pre .sections will look ok).
• Removed box-shadows from everything, because nobody liked them.
• Changed .tooltip top and bottom to 75% from 100%, in order to bring it closer to the text.
• After full internal testing, removed the demo.html file.
• Developed mini-dark, some tweaks might be required, but overall color palette seems good.
• Updated .tooltip, effectively breaking support for certain older browsers (some old version of Chrome mostly) and removing the @supports query, saving a little bit of space, as most browsers now do in fact support the calc directive. Also, added left: 50% for older browsers, allowing tooltips to work a little bit better on legacy systems.
• Did pretty much the same for progress's width property, cleaning up some space. The width will now default to 90% so hopefully no trouble for older browsers as well.
• Broke support of hr for older browsers, as the -webkit prefix is now representative of a tiny fraction of users.
• Changed transition properties to not use -webkit prefix anymore. Also changed them, removing ease and 0s for transition-timing-function and transition-delay repsectively, allowing the browser defaults to apply (which are the same, so nothing lost there).
• Changed transition of a and buttton elements to opacity from all for higher specificity.
• Tested aforementioned changes, everything seems to work ok. Size of default flavor is now 6.71KB compared to a 6.89KB in previous release. Pretty sweet reduction.
• Built sidebar navigation into modules pages.
• Tweaked color of button elements slightly to look less terrible.

20170428

• Checked online if support for old flexbox syntax can be removed, but due to UC Browser (~9% of the market) it cannot. Shame really, because it's the only browser that needs it, all other legacy browsers have a low market share or are already deprecated due to other changes. Thus, we keep the old syntax, but a flag might come later down the line for people who don't care about legacy and UC. Also, the -webkit prefix for the newer syntax is still needed in many modern-ish browsers, so no changes in that department, either. At least, I checked.
• Fixed the extra tabbing in core module documentation.
• Added better module descriptions in modules.html, updated the way their cards look, everything should look cleaner and better now.
• Updated flavors.html page, removed latest version, because it was not really all that useful. Flavors that are not updated can just list it in their description now.
• Updated all Codepens to use https://gitcdn.link/repo/Chalarangelo/mini.css/master/dist/mini-default.min.css instead of version-specific files. That was tiresome!
• Removed version from README.md, the npm shield has it listed, so no need to list it again!
• Updated mini-lite to use the latest ruleset and colors from mini-default.
• Added sidebar navigation for \customization pages, updated them all.
• Added template for login forms.
• Updated front-page a little bit, adding logos and changing the content around a little bit.

v2.1.4 Development Log

20170503

• Started validating the HTML pages with the W3C Validator, making sure to fix as many issues as possible.
• Fixed 7 errors in index.html, 5 error in flavors.html, 2 errors in core.html, 2 errors in grid.html, 9 errors in input_control.html, 4 errors in table.html, 3 errors in card.html, 4 errors in tab.html, 7 errors in templates.html, 2 errors in utilty.html, all errors in the customization docs stemming from width="100%" in table elements, 5 errors in customization\card.html, 20 errors in customization\navigation.html (~100 errors in total).
• Extensive validity checking for the CSS codebase, no real issues that can be solved, due to most being part of the WD or REC, so they will be resolved on their own over time.
• Some testing and work on how to simplify certain rules has taken place. Honestly, some rules are too high-specificity, maybe a loose definitions flag is in store for later releases.
• Checked page mobile-friendliness and speed, removed the Noto Sans link from the head, added as rules inside the pages to improve loading speed.
• Updated the index.html of customization to make sure that mobile users have a menu they can use for the section (using a .button-group).

20170504

• Minor grammatical fix in navigation docs.
• Started working on the removal of useless :active styles. Links and anythng affected by them will be styled based on a flag, while anything that is not a link, will be dealt with separately to make sure no excess styles are left (these were quite the problem in terms of size, so dealing with them is a priority). Extensive list of changes:
  • Added $style-link-active-state in core as a hidden flag, updated code.
    • Added the external flag $style-link-active-state to navigation, updated code.
    • Completely removed the :active styling from checkboxes and radio buttons (input_control).
    • Separated the classes that apply to <a> elements in input_control, moved their :active styling behind the external flag for active, effectively removing all excess styling from the other elements (this should improve their code a lot).
    • Updated input_control_mixins to separately stylize the :active pseudo-class of <a> elements affected by the produced classes.
    • Completely removed the :active styling from the tab module, as it was applied on <label> elements, which was unnecessary.
    • Used external flag to make sure that .tooltips are stylized only if needed (contextual).
    • Used external flag to make sure that .closes is stylized only if needed (utility).
• Moved all mixin @import statements after each modules variables have been initialized.
• After working on :active redefinition, the size is now 6.53KB gzipped (previously 6.71KB gzipped).
• Fixed a typo in core's code, nothing was really affected, but it's nice to have it fixed.
• Optimized certain pieces of code in the grid module, including the pre-defined layouts in shared rules, actually saving a little bit of space. Size is now 6.50KB, a noticeable improvement over the previous size.
• Dramatically improved input_control's .button-group styling, by reworking the way the combinatory selectors (element + element) inside it work, based on the fact that we are just styling the last element and we don't care about what the previous one was. This shaved off quite a lot of size, shrinking mini-default down to 6.37KB. Hugging cat is especially happy with this.
• Tried improving :checked styling for checkboxes, radios and .tabs, but decided it was not worth the lack of specificity due to very little space saved in reality.
• Updated doc layout for consistency and better display on most screens.
• Updated custom border styling for docs to be consistent in terms of coloring.
• Made margins and spacing for most pages more responsive to make things easier to view on mobile.
• Updated version tag in everything.
• Updated CHANGELOG to reflect the latest changes. Ready to release (tomorrow morning).

v2.1.5 Development Log

20170505

• After some quick tests, @media print styling will not be developed for now and might actually not be developed at all, as no requests have been made for it. I might add print styling to the requested modules list, so that someone else can implement it in the future.
• Last release failed, re-released as 2.1.5!

v2.2.0 Development Log

20170508

• Embedded the intro that Per Harald Borgen built for the framework in the front page (index.html) under the Quick overview heading (I think it fits quite nicely).
• Added Per Harald Borgen to the list of contributors to show my gratitude.
• Removed old classes produced using the generic shadow mixin in utility, replaced with .shadowed to let developers still have some generic shadow class. Updated docs as needed, codepens will be updated right before release.
• Updated the definitions of the responsive visibility helpers to utilize !important properly. Size is now 6.34KB which seems pretty good, based on the fact that some of the existing components that are being removed were unused by most devs to begin with.
• Removed the .nano progress bar, as it served no real purpose. Hugging cat misses it already, but it had to go, don't judge. Size should be smaller but the tool I use (Refresh-SF) has crashed and I can't really check the gzipped size right now.

20170510

• Tonight's the night: Lots of updates and changes will be taking place (hopefully), as the next release needs to be fast-forwarded for a lot of reasons. Let the building begin.
• Updated the .close icon with the new styling, making it less complicated, using a Unicode character instead of custom pseudo-elements, size is now 6.24KB.
• Removed .inverse class from card, added .warning and .error instead (part of the .alert migration system).
• Updated quick_reference for said changes to card module.
• Created new codepens for the quick_reference page for changes in the card module.
• Forked old codepens that used .nano and .shadow-... classes, updated links in quick_reference for all of them now.
• Updated both mini-default and mini-dark to use the latest classes built in the card module with proper colors.
• Deprecated .alert and all that comes with it, updated flavors to reflect this. I will update all docs after commiting, just to be on the safe side. By the way, mini-default is now 6.12KB without the deprecated components and with a few of the additions already built-in. Pretty happy with how it's coming along right now!
• Updated docs just barely to make sure that the new .toast component will easily find a suitable home in them.
• Implemented .toast quite quickly and without doing too much work on it, seems to work pretty well. Documentation, mixins and customization not yet done.

20170511

• Added .toast mixins to make them customizable.
• Added .large and .small size variants for .toast elements.
• Added z-index to .toast elements, so that they display above everything else so far.
• Documented .toast changes in their page. Updated the documentation in quick_reference. Created related codepen (bit fiddly but should be ok).
• Updated customization for the new .toast component, fixed some mistakes I found in the customization/contextual.html page.
• Updated flavors for .toast:
  • mini-default fully supports it.
  • mini-dark fully supports it.
  • mini-lite does not support it (in keeping with tradition of the lite flavor's decisions).
  • mini-nord still uses .alerts instead of .toasts, maintainer should address after update, otherwise I will in the next patch or so.
  • mini-sucroa does not support it (or .alert for that matter), might be addressed with author later down the line, for now it's ok to not have either.
• Changed order of input_control and navigation for all flavors and documentation pages.
• Thoroughly tested fluid typography and updated the core module with the required variables and flags. This added a little bit of extra size to the framework, but it seems worthwhile as it scales a bit better on smaller screens, so that there is slightly more real estate for content.
• Updated all flavors for fluid typography (basically only default and dark actually use it for now).
• Updated core module documentation and customization documentation to explain fluid typography.
• Fixed the header element bug that didn't allow them to work well with the .row class for responsive layouts. They should now display as expected.
• Disabled fluid typography by default, it needs more testing and the 14px font in smaller screens doesn't sit well with me. The feature is still there for those who want it.
• Implemented .drawer component along with everything that it needs. Documentation pending.
• Tested .drawer on the modules.html page, it seems to work pretty well.
• Documented .drawer component, updated descriptions wherever possible, the customization documentation will be added in later.

20170512

• $include-drawer is now a hidden flag.
• Updated .drawer to include a $drawer-box-shadow just in case.
• Updated customization for the new .drawer component.
• Updated mini-default, mini-lite and mini-dark for the new .drawer component, the other two flavors will be updated later today.
• Updated quick_reference for .drawer, added a codepen for the component.
• Updated index.html with mobile menu, updated tags to latest version. Fixed the way the screencast displays, so that it fits nicely on smaller screens.
• Updated all module pages to use .drawer on mobile.
• Updated flavors.html and templates.html, both now use the new menu and the tags are updated for the flavor doc.
• Updated quick_reference.html with new navigation, new tag, checked everything.
• Updated menus in all customization pages.
• Updated mini-nord to use the new components.
• Added screencasts to core and grid modules, so that people get a better starter.
• Added $drawer-border-radius for constistency.
• Updated mini-sucroa to use the new components.
• Updated all templates to display perfectly after all the change.
• mini-sucroa demo didn't need any updates, mini-lite required the removal of the nav element which was an artifact (whoops!).
• The other two flavors will be updated to include the new elements and get rid of any problematic stuff (will update in a bit).
• Updated flavor descriptions in flavors.html.
• Everything is ready for release, let's write the CHANGELOG for v2.2.0. (A couple of templates and things might be done later today, as well as linking to them from certain components such as the .drawer which could benefit from that.)
• Updated CHANGELOG, readying up for release. See you and hugging cat on the other side!

v2.2.1 Development Log

20170522

• After taking a break, started updating the documentation. Added the sample website codpen project to the templates.html page to help newcomers get started.
• Added a small prompt for starring from the homepage.
• Added an exclamation mark next to Edge in the index.html page to make sure people read the note.
• Justify-aligned all paragraphs of text in documentation pages.
• Fixed a couple of mistakes in the documentation pages.
• Updated navigation's .drawer documentation with better notes and examples.

20170530

v2.3.0 Development Log

20170605

• Updated packaging information etc. (structural updates for next release)
• Spent a long while, but found the icons to replace the front page's style:
  • http://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/wings_262678 (Feather)
  • http://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/bacteria_191004 (Bacteria)
  • http://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/meteor_433944 (Meteor)
• Updated colors for <pre> and <code>, along with <button> and some other elements to better contrast colors on older and less bright displays. Updated both mini-default and mini-lite to fix issues with those colors.
• Altered default height of <progress> elements to 0.625rem from 1rem, should look more modern and sleek. Updated both core flavors.
• State check for all modules and implemented components (CSS variables - #19 - not included in features checked):
  • core - Most likely 100% complete, fluid type will not be enabled by default anytime soon. Everything else is fully nominal.
  • grid - Everything works as expected, no changes to existing components. Possible addition of a couple of atomic css classes to make everything smoother.
  • input_control - Requires testing for .input-group and other components. New component, .switches must be added.
  • navigation - 100% complete, should be checked against the new additions to other modules to make sure everything works as expected.
  • table - New component, .scrollable tables should be added. Everything else should be fine.
  • card - Everything is fine, no changes, should check for compatibility with grid's new atomic css and/or build in-module ones, too.
  • tab - Most likely no changes, might test to see if more modern styling can be applied to the module's component.
  • contextual- New component, .modal should be added. Nothing else of note here.
  • progress - 100% complete, some fancier components such as Android-styled spinner donuts might be coming later down the line, but they will be flavor-customized.
  • utility - No changes to existing components, however some additions might be required to make everything play as expected.
• Refer to above list in regards to the #19 feature request.
• Reworked complex tab module selectors to utilize the functionality of :not(:first-of-type) on label elements.
• Updated tab selectors to use new, loose definitions, effectively making the module 0.04KB lighter. Not a huge difference, but good enough due to the maintenance impact it has on the module, plus the consistency fixed for .stacked.
• Moved input_control's disabled styling to low-specificity behind the existing flag, saved another 0.05KB, which is quite a big change. Parsing should also be faster than before. Good catch, hugging cat!
• Lowered specificity of selectors used in .button-group for styling borders, cut off another 0.02KB.
• Added styling for :disabled on checkbox and radio, pushed the size back up a little bit.
• Merged some styles in contextual in regards to .tooltip.
• Changed table selectors to use :not(:first-child), similarly to other modules.
• All changes have been tested and no errors were found (as far as I can tell).
• Created the .modal component, added to the default flavor, documenting and adding to other flavors pending.
• Updated all flavors for the new .modal component to be included (or not) as needed.

20170606

• Fully documented modal component.
• Added navigation for modal component.
• Documented customization of modal component.
• Added accessibility guidelines for modal component.

20170608

• Added a calculated $_1px variable to fully transition to rem units.
• Altered everything that was px-based to rem-based values in mini-default, mini-dark and mini-lite.
• Altered input_control's checkbox components to properly work with the latest changes to the unit system.
• Completed .switch component, total size (gzipped) is 0.10KB.
• Updated mini-default with .switch, other flavors, too, following their logical addition pattern.
• Added make-switch-alt-color mixin for .switch components.
• Added cursor:pointer to checkbox and .switch components.
• Added documentation and navigation for .switch component.
• Added box-shadow option to .switch (was missing before).
• Added box-shadow to checkbox and radio, updated flavors as required.
• Added and updated customization documentation and navigation for .switch component.

20170609

• Removed $table-horizontal-breakpoint, will now use generated value from $table-mobile-breakpoint.
• Added styling for .scrollable tables, total size about 0.29KB gzipped, pretty large but that's the largest component that was added in the update.
• Updated the definition of hr to use $_1px instead of 1px.
• Optimized .horizontal and .scrollable tables to use mixed definitions whenever possible.
• Updated all flavors to use (or not) .scrollable tables.
• Added customization documentation for .scrollable tables.
• Documented .scrollable tables everywhere.
• Added $tab-selected-border-color to imbue tabs with a little extra style (applies only to non-.stacked tabs).
• Altered $label-padding from 0.25rem to 0.25rem 0.5rem to make it align properly with everything else.
• Added code for .vertical .input-group, documented it, updated flavors. Everything is ready, size is 6.70KB, which is pretty good I might add.
• Updated CHANGELOG and doc pages (new tag etc.), released v2.3.0.

v2.3.1 Development Log

20170619

• Merged two PRs resolving two issues that have been reported.
• Added a lot of code in input_control module, some exotic functions included. Also added $select-padding-right to help solve an issue and update changes.
• Used svg tricks to resolve the select issue, file size is now 6.90KB gzipped, which is just below the maximum limit of the framework.
• Updated flavor files and source code to use spaces instead of tabs. Should now look better on Github.
• Released update to deal with bugs.

v2.3.2 Development Log

20170629

• Added $apply-select-fix to the input_control module, disabled the fix for mini-lite to make the flavor lighter.
• Updated select styles to utilize some smart tricks, reducing size by a sliver (about 0.03KB less when gzipped).
• Released the v2.3.2 hotfix.

v2.3.3 Development Log

20170715

• Worked on the mini-pwa flavor. Updated everything and released v2.3.3.

v2.3.4 Development Log

20170816

• Resolved issue #94 by applying the suggested changes to the navigation module.
• Resolved issue #93 by fixing the link, obviously.
• Applied a new layout to the Forms & input card of input_control, should resolve a long-standing problem with layout on certain screens.
• Added :not([multiple]) to the custom select style, fixing a problem with multi-value select elements.
• Added example for :invalid input in input_control as requested in #92.
• Updated all flavors to the latest version.
• Removed Scrimba screencast from index.html, now it's only in its respective module. Should make loading somewhat faster.
• Released update.
