ap iPhone and iPad app update By www.bbc.co.uk Published On :: Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:35:15 +0000 On Tuesday we are releasing an update to the BBC News iPhone and iPad app in the UK designed to make the app faster and more stable, with bigger, better quality images on the home screen. We are busy doing some research and thinking at the moment about what people are looking for in our News apps in the longer term, but we thought that in the meantime, it was important to fix one or two bugs affecting some users of the existing app and to make it a better, slicker experience overall. We want to make sure the current app remains a great way to get a quick overview of the top stories across a wide range of subjects, easy-to-scan on a mobile and, once the stories have loaded, handy to read offline too. So, it will now be quicker to start up the app and to update it, and it should feel smoother and faster as you scroll and swipe through the screens and stories. The larger homescreen images we've introduced serve two purposes: first, you can see what's in them more clearly and there's more room for the headlinesecond, their positioning makes it clearer that you can scroll horizontally in each news category to reveal more stories (we noticed that in user testing some people assumed there were only three stories a section). There is a new layout on iPad when you view the home screen in portrait mode - designed to show more headlines and make it easier to find the stories you're interested in. Among the bugs that we've fixed is an issue that sometimes caused the app to get stuck when updating, and another where you sometimes saw duplicate stories within a single news category. For our product team, these improvements required a fairly major reworking of the app's code. The good news is that they are now working from a more stable base which can be built on with new features and functionality. This revising of our code is something we've already done with our Android app, so we'll now be able to release upgrades simultaneously on both iOS and Android, which are by far the largest mobile platforms for us in terms of users. This latest update is already available internationally. If you're a user of the app, or decide to try it out, we hope you'll like the improvements we've made. And as we think about our apps generally and plan our next steps, we'd like to hear about what you'd most like to see in future. Steve Herrmann is editor of the BBC News website.

ap Bootstrap 5.3.2 By blog.getbootstrap.com Published On :: Thu, 14 Sep 2023 14:30:00 +0000 Bootstrap v5.3.2 is here with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and more follow-up enhancements for color modes. Keep reading for the highlights! Highlights Passing a percentage unit to the global abs() is deprecated since Dart Sass v1.65.0. It resulted in a deprecation warning when compiling Bootstrap with Dart Sass. This has been fixed internally by changing the values passed to the divide() function. The divide() function has not been fixed itself so that we can keep supporting node-sass cross-compatibility. In v6, this won’t be an issue as we plan to drop support for node-sass. Using multiple ids in a collapse target wasn’t working anymore and has been fixed. Color modes Increased color contrast of form range track background in light and dark modes. Fixed table state rendering for color modes with a focus on the striped table in dark mode to increase color contrast. Allow <mark> color customization for color modes. Docs Added alternative CDNs section in Getting started -> Download. Added Discord and Bootstrap subreddit links in README and Getting started -> Introduction: Discord maintained by the community Bootstrap subreddit Get the release Head to https://getbootstrap.com for the latest.

ap Bootstrap 5.3.3 By blog.getbootstrap.com Published On :: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 15:22:00 +0000 Bootstrap v5.3.3 is here with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and more follow-up enhancements for color modes. Keep reading for the highlights! Highlights Fixed a breaking change introduced with color modes where it was required to manually import variables-dark.scss when building Bootstrap with Sass. Now, _variables.scss will automatically import _variables-dark.scss. If you were already importing _variables-dark.scss manually, you should keep doing it as it won’t break anything and will be the way to go in v6. Fixed a regression in the selector engine that wasn’t able to handle multiple IDs anymore. Color modes Badges now use the .text-bg-* text utilities to be certain that the text is always readable (especially when the customized colors are different in light and dark modes). Fixed our color-modes.js script to handle the case where the OS is set to light mode and the auto color mode is used on the website. If you copied the script from our docs, you should apply this change to your own script. Fixed color schemes description in the color modes documentation to show that color-scheme() only accept light and dark values as parameters. Miscellaneous Allowed <dl>, <dt> and <dd> in the sanitizer. Dropped evenly items distribution for modal and offcanvas headers. Fixed the accordion CSS selectors to avoid inheritance issues when nesting accordions. Fixed the focus box-shadow for the validation stated form controls. Fixed the focus ring on focused checked buttons. Fixed the product example mobile navbar toggler. Changed the RTL processing of carousel control icons. Docs Dropped unnecessary right margin for example code blocks. Fixed emphasis text utilities usage in background utilities examples section. Added an technical explanation on how to render an accordion expanded by default. Changed Vite config path import in Vite guide. Enhanced the card image description of the .card-img-* classes. Mentioned shift-color() function in the Sass customization page among tint-color() and shade-color(). Added missing type="button" attribute to the Cheatsheet examples navigation buttons. Updated the colors table in the customization page to be responsive. Get the release Head to https://getbootstrap.com for the latest. It’s also been pushed to npm: Full Article
