Summary

Here are the big ticket items you’ll want to be aware of when moving from v1.x.x to v2.0.0.

Global changes for Admin Templates

  • We decided to moved all SCSS and JavaScript files was to separate repository @coreui/coreui. Our templates now require latest stable version of @coreui/coreui to work properly.
  • Our admin templates are not available via npm anymore. You can clone a repository from GitHub or download from our website.

Global changes

  • $enable-rounded is enabled by default.
  • Build system overhauled to use a series of npm scripts instead of Gulp. See package.json for all scripts, or our project readme for local development needs.
  • Dropped Bower support as the package manager has been deprecated for alternatives (e.g., Yarn or npm). See bower/bower#2298 for details.
