According to http://blog.sass-lang.com/posts/809572-sass-35-release-candi... the C++ based libsass is almost 100% compatible with Ruby Sass.

#63It's said Bootstrap5 will possible use postcss, which is great. Hope this can be released soon, I honestly feel tired waiting for Angular2 and Bootstrap4 and I began to use something else instead(vuejs that is, stuck with Bootstrap3)
Bootstrap 3 was released 3 years ago and the 4 has been on beta for 1 year now, so Bootstrap 5 will probably use something newer than postcss.
Version 4 was in development for a year when the first alpha was released, and now a year later they've released the fourth alpha version. It's not at beta yet.

Why not just use something like Susy? I can't stand these grids unless I'm quickly trying to prototype something.
Re: Bootstrap 4 Alpha 4 Released
#65What CSS framework is recommend these days if you can afford being flexbox only?
What for do you need a framework? For buttons? For the grid? You most likely have to adjust them anyways, so why not make a clean approach without the bloat (in a sense of coding style [I'm very much into BEM]) of a framework?
I wouldn't have a clue where to start. Far easier just to grab a pre-made framework like this.

#66We've been using maximum of 1140px col-xl width since 1920x1080 was considered the bleeding edge, but now monitors with 2560x1440 resolution are becoming more common- where 1140 barely covers half the width of the screen . Isn't about time we had a grid container that fixed this?
A page that wide doesn't sound very practical unless you want lots and lots of columns. I was taught that an average 10 words per line is best for reading.

#67Has bootstrap been this slow to roll out future versions before? Feels like the main contributors are losing interesting/available time? (releases: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases )
I seen an issue on github[0] which mentions that a lot of development time is still spent on version 3, which is slowing down progress on version 4. I suppose future versions might take longer to roll out if they're supporting the previous version at the same time.

> newer browsers will start to break on bootstrap3 Is that a common thing for browsers to break on older, previously compatible CSS?
As has been repeated many times here. Bootstrap has javascript as well as CSS.
So same question then -- previously compatible javascript breaking in newer browsers is a thing? Are there some common examples of this (e.g. not just edge cases).

So based on their github and some searching with google, historically they didn't have much of an end-of-life policy, because there were no bugfix releases for v1.x.x after v2 came out, and no bugfix releases for v2.x.x after v3 came out: v3.0.0 - 2013-08-19 v3.0.0 RC1 - 2013-07-27 v2.3.2 - 2013-07-27 v2.3.1 - 2013-03-01 v2.0.0 - 2012-01-31 v1.4.0 - 2011-11-03 v1.3.0 - 2011-09-16 With major version 4 still being in a…
They mention in the original alpha release article this was a mistake. They plan on supporting and bug fixing for the foreseeable future with bootstrap3 http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2015/08/19/bootstrap-4-alpha/
An update over the course of the previous 19 hours [1][2]; apparently that foreseeable future ended 10 hours after you posted this excellent reminder. They have begun closing [3] all outstanding github issues for v3 with the text:
Bootstrap 3 is no longer being officially developed
or supported.
All work has moved onto our next major release, v4.
As such, this issue or pull request is being closed
as a "won't fix." For additional help and support,
we recommend utilizing our community resources.
Thanks for your understanding, and see you on the
other side of v4!

Yes, but it's still a painful native dependency in the otherwise Node-based build process. Native dependencies are getting better in Node, but still have many painful edge cases.
