Does anyone else feel like every time they release a new version of Bootstrap it is never backwards compatible? I feel like lots of divs on my site need different classes than were used before.

There should be no problems upgrading from 2.1.2 to 2.2.0—no features were removed and none had their classes changed.

It doesn't look like a lot has changed in this release, but just a reminder for those who can't upgrade right away: I'm hosting all the old docs at http://bootstrapdocs.com

Thanks for this! We're still waiting on a few changes before we do anything with hosting the old docs, so thanks for helping out in the interim :).

Would be lovely if they didn't hotlink placehold.it for their images as that site requires captcha approval before showing their images so mine is just a bunch of broken image links.

If you're looking for a client side alternative checkout holder.js - http://imsky.github.com/holder/

carousel.html (one of the new examples) is really sexy. i think they learned lots of people are lazy and just leave their sites as pretty much stock bootstrap for a long time - so might as well make stock bootstrap look amazing. well done! Here it is http://dev.82.io/carousel/ There seems to be a bug with the carousel though. Clicking next doesn't work and the images randomly start skipping really fast etc, at least…

Sorry for the bug on this one—we're aware of it and will try to push out a quick fix shortly. Thanks!

There's an open issue on that: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/5688

It's kind of bad PR for Foundation junkies to try to ride on Bootstrap's coattails every time there's a Bootstrap thread on HN. I get that there's bad blood there, but it really makes the Foundation guys look desperate when you beg for attention like this.

Fair enough. Zurb isn't desperate for HN traffic or users. It's only fair that some of the other equally good frameworks get due attention. http://www.getskeleton.com/ http://gumbyframework.com/ http://titanthemes.com/titan-framework-a-css-framework-for-r... http://www.angrycreative.se/wordpress/plugins/less-framework...

" Zurb isn't desperate for HN traffic or users"

Then why are you posting on a completely un-related post for Bootstrap, instead of letting it stand on it's own merits?

There is something very wrong with having to "upgrade" your CSS.

That's what a separate thread would be for.

Perhaps I should have worded it differently then. My goal was simply to provide other relevant alternatives to bootstrap.

"Then why are you posting on a completely un-related post for Bootstrap, instead of letting it stand on it's own merits?"

Actually, other popular css frameworks highlighting responsive design are very relevant to Bootstrap. Normally, one could let these frameworks stand on their own merits, but it seems that any bootstrap post on HN hops the popularity train right to the front page.

I have already started making used of 2.2.0 with media-list for my tweets ( http://www.millwoodonline.co.uk/ ). Nice to see http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/ already have the new version in their CDN.

Extremely off-topic, but when I visited once during the Food Festival, I was wondering if Abergavenny had any semblance of a tech scene :-) Congratulations on living in such a beautiful place!

Thanks, and FYI there isn't much of a tech scene here.

Hijacking the thread a bit here. Foundation ( http://foundation.zurb.com ) also released 3.2 on October 26th: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/changelog.php

Upvoted. Contrary to others's ocd opinions, I have no problem with you posting this. I wasn't aware Foundation had gotten an update recently, nice to know. And while this thread is about Bootstrap, they're the two most sophisticated frontend frameworks available right now, so it's not totally unrelated.
