Foundation 6.3 contains new features, reworked old features, and more bugfixes than you can shake a stick at! Foundation is now EVEN MORE accessible out of the box, with a default color palette that meets AA contrast requirements, better keyboard navigation, and a slew of other improvements.

Migration Notes:

  • If you're using the ZURB template, check out this pull request to see the changes you'll want to make to update: https://github.com/zurb/foundation-zurb-template/pull/49/files
  • Flex Videos are now Responsive Embeds. Old classes and mixin names are now deprecated. Check out #8765
  • Accordion Items now MUST be labeled with data-accordion-item, they are no longer inferred from li elements. Check out #9178
  • The dist directory structure has changed. CSS files now live in dist/css, JS files in dist/js. Check out #9078
  • The default color palette has changed to be meet AA contrast requirements. This has changed both defaults and a number scss variables and functions. Check out #9319 (comment)
  • In order to facilitate vertical rhythm layouts, the old $header-sizes map has been replaced with a more general $header-styles map. $header-styles map not only allows to set the font-size, but also line-height, margin-top and margin-bottom per header size and breakpoint. $header-sizes still works, however, it is going to be depreciated. If $header-sizes is present in your _settings.scss it overrides any $header-styles map. Check out #9419
  • Some older flex based mixins (flex-grid-order, flex-grid-row-align, flex-grid-column-align) and classes (.align-column/.align-row), that had been deprecated are now removed, along with a few old variables that are no longer relevant. Check out #9437
