This is a short article on the alpha release of Bootstrap 5 (Bootstrap is a "a ready-to-use set of UI components and a grid system essential for adaptive web pages that need to display well across PC and mobile browsers"). The big news is that Bootstrap no longer depends on jQuery (which is a set of Javascript functions for web page element selection and manipulation). Bootstrap also drops support Internet Explorer (IE). And, less notably, the project has shifted from Jekyll to Hugo) both are website deployment tools). It's probably about time, though our office still uses a number of web applications that "require Internet Explorer." But I'll still have a look at Bootstrap 5 (mostly to compare with mini.css which is what I'm leaning toward now).
