#2079

[roblarsen]

I'm good with merging #2074. I will let it sit until tonight Boston time and then merge it.

Following that I'll queue up the files for release.

[roblarsen]

It looks like we're ready to go. I'll write up something for the new version and push some buttons to release everything as soon as that's queued up.

@roblarsen May I release a new version for htaccess from server-configs-apache to include latest changes in v7 or already too late?

[roblarsen]

@LeoColomb Not at all. that would be great!

Thought this question was more appropriate here than a.new issue, but I'm seeing v6 in main.css still. https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/dist/css/main.css#L1

Does that need updating in the main repo and rebuilt, a PR here, or are there other plans? Just wanted to make sure looking at the latest version.

Thanks for keeping this project up, it's always been a great resource 👍

[roblarsen]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look at the build and test suite.

[roblarsen]

It looks like it was a glitch somewhere in the publishing process. I'm pushing the correct main.css version now.

[roblarsen]

I will tweet shortly.
