After the 2.2.0 release last night, a few bugs were reported, but only one major one: malfunctioning carousels. To address that, @fat just pushed out a 2.2.1 hotfix release that fixes the bug. Upgrading should be super simple given the scope of this release.
Aww yeah, our first release since leaving Twitter is here with Bootstrap 2.2.0! We originally planned to release this as 2.1.2, but given the timing and scope we're bumping the version. Included in this release are dozens of bug fixes, documentation enhancements, and a few new and improved features.
Working at Twitter the last two and a half years has been incredible. Both Jacob and I have worked with a lot of amazing people on some pretty amazing projects, but nothing has been more enjoyable or rewarding than working on Bootstrap. Despite us leaving Twitter to go our separate ways, we'll both be continuing our work on the project.
Two weeks later, we've closed another 500 issues against Bootstrap. That includes all the dupes—you nerds like reporting typos—and invalid issues that don't end up making it on the official release milestone. But, what's awesome is that we have 2.1.1 ready to rock with 73 bugfixes.
Roughly two weeks ago we upgraded the blog to use Jekyll and GitHub Pages instead of WordPress. When we did that, we forgot about the RSS feed. A few awesome folks noted we were missing it and so we've added it back. Unfortunately it's not the same URL, but it's there nonetheless.
After a smaller 2.0.4 release, we've got another huge update that resolves tons of bugs, improves the flexibility and durability of our code, and introduces a few awesome new features. It's a big release wrapped in a brand new set of docs and we couldn't be more stoked to launch it.
We're stoked to release Bootstrap 2.1 next week Monday at our first birthday party, but to make it a great release, we need your help testing it out.
Sorry about the database connection issues some of you may have seen in the last 24 hours. We've moved off WordPress for our blog and are now using GitHub pages and Jekyll. Jekyll is an amazingly lightweight and simple site generator from Tom Preston-Werner, cofounder of GitHub. Here's why:
Following up on the large 2.0.3 release a few weeks ago, we have a fresh update to address some documentation issues and basic CSS bugs. 2.0.4 includes around thirty closed issues and is our first version under our updated release approach (shorter, more concise releases).
After three large point releases focusing on massive amounts of bugfixes and documentation changes, we're going to change up our release strategy to push out smaller, more frequent updates.
There is a thread on the mailing list about how to describe Bootstrap and instead of isolating our response to just one email, I'll just blog about it. As it stands, some folks are unsure how to describe Bootstrap to those unfamiliar with it. So here it is, straight from the official horse's mouth.
Today we're releasing Bootstrap 2.0.3, another bugfix release that aims to squash as many regressions and documentation inaccuracies as possible. There are almost 100 closed issues in the 2.0.3 milestone on GitHub, but below is a comprehensive list of the most important fixes with clear explanations of what's changed.
