What’s new in Bootstrap 5

Bootstrap is one of the best frameworks for responsive web and mobile development. Bootstrap allows developers to design templates with typography, forms, buttons, tables, navigation, modals, image carousels, etc based on HTML and CSS to ease modern web design.

Bootstrap was originally developed for Twitter. But today the framework is available for free as an open-source framework for the front-end development of websites.

On 16th June 2020, Bootstrap 5’s alpha version was released. This new v5 will make it easy and convenient to work with Bootstrap Admin Templates.

Curious to know more about this new version? Let’s dig in and discuss some major features of the Bootstrap 5 alpha version.

1. Enhanced Grid System :

The grid system has always been the Bootstrap framework’s main attractions and it’s latest version Bootstrap 5 alpha come with some increased capabilities of the grid system like

• Addition of a new extra-large (XXL) grid tier for resolutions
• .gutter classes replaced with .g* utilities, similar to padding/margin utilities
• Addition of vertical spacing classes
• Columns do not have position: relative by default
