What does Google Analytics have to do with html5?

It's boilerplate. It's sensible to assume that sites might use GA, and their snippet is more optimized than the stock one Google gives you, IIRC. It's not difficult to delete.

"The web's most popular front-end template". With the popularity of Bootstrap, this claim seems unbelievable.

HTML5 Boilerplate has been around a lot longer than Bootstrap and has been adopted by more in the general front-end community. Whereas Bootstrap has been adopted by more generalist developers building entire web applications.

Maybe it needs a little more work. I've got a "Unhandled DOMException: SYNTAX_ERR" in jQuery. And "plugins.js" and "main.js" are loaded twice. Also: I'm on Opera and get a lot of CSS errors. Some are strange: "-o-opacity is an unknown property".

The jQuery-related error seems to be an upstream bug - http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1513672 I don't see plugins.js and main.js loading twice. And that CSS warning can only come from other tabs you had open as we don't include any `-o-` prefixed code in the CSS.

I think these are all Opera quirks. It is saying there are unhandled exceptions when all the ones it identified are inside a try/catch. It looks the -o- warnings are coming from the internal feature detects that we use in jQuery 1.8, we really can't avoid those without browser sniffing.

Splendid work guys, but I am still unhappy that you guys closed the Google group around it. Will check out the updates shortly.

The suggestion to use Stackoverflow as support channel is a good decision imho

Good news!

It's the pink color that used to be used for selection.

Without getting into code changes, I'm glad to see they abandoned that childish theme the whole project had.

Gratz on the release

I've actually brought it back on my downloaded copy; it's a color that never clashes with text colors I assign, and stands out pretty well.
