Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
Are you planning to leapfrog 4.0 or is this plan for the future?
5.x is the current development version where I've been working on breaking changes such as updating Tailwind CSS itself and changing how the CSS is generated - things that I can't do in the 4.x branch.
4.x is still using Tailwind 1.9, and with Tailwind Labs now releasing Tailwind 3, the default version is more out of date that it was before. This might mean that 4.x is a short-lived branch and 5.x becomes the default fairly quickly.
Users of the theme can change whatever they want in their implementations of the theme, of course, as it's supposed to be a starter kit for people's custom themes, but I'm also trying to support the use-case of someone using it for demos or for some other reason and I'm trying to keep the changes backwards-compatible within beta, RC, and stable versions, whilst making any updates to the theme as well as any upstream dependencies - including Tailwind CSS itself.
@cbrody I think you should open a separate feature request. 3.x contains breaking changes and I think this module have/should —roll a separate main version avoiding breaking existing sites.
@steinmb thanks - the project has been updated to Tailwind 3 in version 5 (in alpha). It's currently missing the build tool config provided with previous releases.
The Drupal Version 6.x (tw 4) is not released yet right? Or is it in the dev-branch? I don't mind if so, because I will use it as a starter kit anyway.
But as far as I could see from the latest comments in git log it is not deployed yet.

steinmb commentedA little confused here. This one is open, but version 4.0 is still only RC. Are you planning to leapfrog 4.0 or is this plan for the future?

matthieuscarset commented+1 to get this new version moving forward.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to make it D10 compatible?
Also, it would be convenient to make it a

Comment #10
steinmb commented@matthieuscarset do you mind creating a feature req. on starter_kit support?
Comment #11
matthieuscarset commentedI don't mind at all but I don't know what the starter_kit support is.
Are you referring to another issue queue?
