Changes of note:

"Interchange uses media queries to dynamically load responsive content that is appropriate for different users' browsers.”

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/interchange.html

Offcanvas Javascript (Originally bolt-on, not bundled)

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/offcanvas.html

"Abide is an HTML5 form validation library that supports the native API by using patterns and required attributes."

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/abide.html

Zepto support has been removed from Foundation 5.

Docs are continuing to look better, and they still have docs back to Foundation v2.

Thanks Zurb!

So for the HTML deficient are there any template sites for foundation yet? These exist for bootstrap, and for someone who doesn't have even a single bone of design talent in his body they're a godsend.

Is Foundation better than Bootstrap? I'm genuinely curious, as they seem functionality equivalent. Of course, one uses SASS and one uses LESS. I knew LESS, so I picked Bootstrap. But I'm more than willing to switch.

The only thing you get with bootstrap at this point is an insane amount of plugins (datepickers, etc). In general, you just have to pick the vanilla jquery plugins and theme them up to use foundation's syntax. I just recently did this with xeditable and poshytip.

I'll take the semantics of foundation any day. Love this framework.

Also, no changes to the class and attribute semantics (that I've found yet)!

The only migration that should have to happen at this point is JS fixes.

I would just like to say that I love Foundation! Kudos to the team and congrats on the new release. I look forward to exploring the new version. That being said, I am not really digging the new documentation page. The sample code containers should have a non-white background or at least some kind of a border.

They do for me - maybe your device has the contrast set too low?

The linked web page crashes Safari on iOS 7. Mobile first, eh?

We tested pretty extensively, it looks okay...what device?

This is on 7.0.2 on an iPhone 4s. Crashes Safari reliably 4 times in a row. Maybe it's just my bad luck.

Anyway, looking at it on my laptop now. It looks great!
