[`https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.4.0/scripts/scripts.js`](https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.4.0/scripts/scripts.js) As a reminder, the rollup CSS and JS are compilations of many independently versioned components and is likely to contain changes that may disrupt the look of your site. We advise testing. Even better is to build your own CSS rollup from the npm sources, [you can find a guide here](/building).

## Major refinements and breaking changes ### [vf-hero](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-hero/) 2.0.0 npm git diff

* introduces new naming convention for design variants * `--inverted`: that inverts the foreground and background colours * `--flush`: pulls the `vf-hero__content` to the bottom of the `vf-hero` * `--offset`: pulls the `vf-hero__content` below the `vf-hero` container * `--centered`: centres the `vf-hero__content` component * `--block`: makes the `vf-hero__content` bleed all the way ot the left of the page * `--striped`: inverts the `vf-hero__text` to that of what's set in `vf-hero__content` * `--800`, `--1200`, and `--1600` spacing variants * replaces `vf-hero-theme--` with `vf-hero--` for the `primary`, `secondary`, and `tertiary` variants * removes the 'Mortal Kombat' naming convention * reduces visible options of the new `vf-hero` * older versions degrade gracefully to the default variant * deprecates the `--intense` variant Discussion and PR See the component ### [vf-card](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-card/) 2.3.0 npm git diff

* adds new `--bordered` and `--striped` design variants * added `vf-stack` to the `vf-card__content` element to determine spacing * allows for the lack of `vf-stack` for older components * started the deprecation of the 'Mortal Kombat' variants, initially by hiding them in vf-core * introduced `newTheme` so the 'Mortal Kombat' variants can live side-by-side with news versions for now * the `newTheme` moves us back to the 'primary' being the embl green, the secondary the embl blue, etc * we now remove the `-theme` part of the css class moving forward as it's cleaner, easier to read, and states the same thing without it * created theme variants of the new design variants (these are hidden, and should not be used) Discussion and PR See the component ### vf-frctl-theme deprecated git diff

When developing directly in `./tools/vf-core` running `gulp vf-dev` will start the [Fractal](https://fractal.build/) component library interface. Previously this was also the public-facing website for the Visual Framework, however we now use this 11ty-based website. So the `vf-frctl-theme` had become an ongoing technical debt without much upside. It has now been deprecated and running `gulp vf-dev` will use Fractal's default Mandlebrot theme. Discussion and PR ## Minor features ### [vf-sass-config](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-sass-config/) 2.3.0 npm git diff * introduces a `space` Sass function to save the keystrokes * instead of typing `map-get($vf-spacing-map, vf-spacing--400)` you can write `spacing(400)` for the same result * https://github.com/visual-framework/vf-core/pull/1258 * I've added this terse naming of the function for `set-color` and `set-ui-color` to be something like `color(green)` instead of `set-color(vf-color--green)`. The old way still works * fixes import order of `vf-global-custom-properties.scss` * https://github.com/visual-framework/vf-core/pull/1263 ### [vf-show-more](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-show-more/) 1.1.0 npm git diff * drops dynamic css stylesheet in favour of a specific `.vf-show-more__item-overflow` class * support more than one vf-show-more on a page * https://github.com/visual-framework/vf-core/issues/1243 ### [vf-design-tokens](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-design-tokens/) 3.1.0 npm git diff * adds `--1600` (`4rem`) spacing token ### [vf-summary](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-summary/) 1.4.0 npm git diff * makes the title of summary a little larger * reduces margin a little on news * removes the padding from events ### [vf-box](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-box/) 2.3.0 npm git diff * updates font size for title/heading * makes sure the text is black inside the `--easy` variant ## Bug fixes ### [vf-u-fullbleed](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-u-fullbleed/) 1.2.2 npm git diff * adds fallbacks for CSS that relied on CSS custom properties ### [embl-breadcrumbs-lookup](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/embl-breadcrumbs-lookup/) 1.0.2 npm git diff * adds aria role detection of current page ### [vf-breadcrumbs](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-breadcrumbs/) 2.0.1 npm git diff * removes `>` from related crumbs ### [vf-sass-config](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-sass-config/) 2.3.1 npm git diff * fixes bug in --page-grid-gap printing Sass function in CSS ### [vf-hero](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-hero/) 2.0.1 npm git diff * adds the option to add an url to `vf-hero__heading` with nunjucks/yaml * gives the element a classname ### [vf-hero](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-hero/) 2.0.2 npm git diff * adds a width of `max-content` to the `__content` part of the component so short titles don't look silly ### [vf-card](https://latest.visual-framework.dev/components/vf-card/) 2.3.1 npm git diff * issue with margin-bottom still in place when using `vf-stack` with `vf-card__content`
