Twitter Bootstrap 3 RC 1 released

    Bootstrap official blog post: blog.getbootstrap.com/2013/07/27/bootstrap-3-rc1

    Documentation and downloading of archives is available at the old address: twitter.github.io/bootstrap

    Major changes
    1. Bootstrap and related projects have been migrated to a new account on Github: github.com/twbs
    2. ~ 1,600 commits, ~ 72,000 additions / deletions to ~ 300 files were added to the project.
    3. All styles (including responsive) are now compiled into a single CSS file - fewer uploaded files
    4. Glyphicons are moved to a separate repository , connected as a font instead of PNG, and now the icon classes have a new prefix .glyphicon- *
    5. Many changes in the LESS code: a new style for naming variables, color variables (such as blue ) have been removed in favor of semantic ones (such as @ brand-primary).
    6. Added two new types of grids for smartphones (.col- *) and tablets (.col-sm- *).
    7. Support for IE 7 and Firefox 3.6 disappeared. IE 8 and 9 are still supported, but do not forget that many CSS3 properties are not supported by them.
    8. The project was going to be transferred to the MIT license instead of Apache, but Apache still appears in the current documentation.

    Also, the Customizer code that does not allow you to select only those Bootstrap components that you needed is still not working. They promise to turn it on to RC2.

    At the moment, the link “Download Bootstrap” gives an error, so you can download compiled and minified CSS and JS directly from the repository, from here: github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/3.0.0-wip/dist .
