Release 2.0.0 beta.2

[thisisdano]

Internal

• Say goodbye to @maya
• Welcome @saracope to the core team
• Added a new build process to uswds-site to modularize the CSS output and compile only the Sass necessary to see the change. For instance, utility classes, layout grid, fonts, and USWDS components don't need to be re-generated when making a change to custom Sass. (Use a more modular build and compile process uswds-site#674)
  • Add new gulp scripts and npm scripts to process only the necessary Sass
  • Add conditional stylesheets to uswds-site that load individual CSS modules when in the local environment and a single, minified CSS file when built through Federalist
  • This can speed up most builds by about 10x!

Additions

• Added Public Sans to its own repo: uswds/public-sans
• Added basic gulp pipeline to its own repo: uswds/uswds-gulp

Updates

• Updated the font license information in LICENSE.md (Update font licenses #2800)

Bug fixes

• Fixed a typo that prevented the gray, gray-warm, and gray-cool grade 60 colors from appearing (Update token typos and re-output #2801)
• Gray cool and Gray warm were reversed in token data. Now they aren't and should output correctly. (Remove utilities in components / fix gray colors / fix markup render #2823)
• Added the ui font family to line-height. Now you can use something like line-height('ui', 3) (Add ui family to line-height properties #2824)
• Fixed a problem with the display of some items in our documentation (Problems with flex display in utility docs uswds-site#673)
• Addressed a potential vulnerability with mem@1.1.0 by updating to yargs@12.0.2 (Update to yargs@12.0.2 #2842)
• Fixed a bug where a elements classed with usa-button variants were being overridden by usa-button:visited styles. (Remove :visited classing from buttons #2827)
  • Thanks @stphnwlkr!

Improvements

• Added a AAA magic number to the docs and updated contrast references to WCAG 2.0 (Add AAA magic number and fix reference to WCAG uswds-site#656)
• Removed utility classes from any component (Remove utilities in components / fix gray colors / fix markup render #2823)
  • ⚠️ breaking change: Removes a flex-justify utility from the footer component and revises footer markup to add this rule to component code. This markup would need to be updated.
• Modified some nunjucks templates to improve the rendering of markup code in the components docs (Remove utilities in components / fix gray colors / fix markup render #2823)
• Added any public-facing mixin into files within the core/mixins folder so they can be imported without importing any styles (Move public mixins into mixins folder #2844)
• Removed _uswds-theme.scss stylesheet from the theme stylesheets. This was an abstraction file that collected all the settings files together, but it proved a little confusing and may have been a premature optimization. Now all the settings files are included directly in styles.scss (Remove theme abstraction stylesheet #2830)
• The 'object' namespace was causing confusion and wasn't useful enough to justify its inclusion. (Remove object namespace #2829)
  • Removed object from namespace options since it proved confusing to users
  • Output all utilities with utility namespace
  • Add add- manually to those utilities that previously added them with the object namespace
• Now the letterspacing function can accept numerical equivalents and not just 'ls-[token]' strings. So ls(-2) is now valid. (Allow letter-spacing() function to accept numerical equivalents #2826)
• Added a $theme-show-compile-warnings setting (default: true) to show compile warnings when using false or nonstandard tokens (Use system in palette names; add compile warning switch #2828)
• Use the word 'token' instead of 'value' in compile errors to align with our naming convention (Use system in palette names; add compile warning switch #2828)
• Use 'system' instead of 'uswds' in palette names (ex: $palette-font-system-mono-micro instead of $palette-font-uswds-mono-micro) to align with our naming convention. (Use system in palette names; add compile warning switch #2828)
  • ⚠️ Breaking change: Any palette using uswds in its name needs to be update to use system instead, as show above.

Documentation

• Removed out of date references and added notes when some documentation or features were consipicuously absent (Copyedit and sync with current USWDS 2.0 code uswds-site#657)
  • Removed references to palette variables
  • Updated USWDS 2.0 token references
  • Added notes when documentation is notably not in with USWDS 2.0 (typesetting, for instance)
• Updated readme with USWDS 2.0-specific information (Update readme with v2-specific info #2819)
  • Installing using npm
  • Using the USWDS package
  • Sass and theme settings
  • Sass compilation requirements
  • Customization, theming, and tokens
• Added design principles and design notes to the Public Sans readme (Add design principles and design notes to readme public-sans#18)
• Fixed the order of colors in the the system colors sidenav to reflect the actual order of the content (Correct order of colors in sidenav uswds-site#665)
• Updated our color guidance to include more specific guidance around contrast sensitivity and Irlen Syndrome. (Update color guidance for Irlen syndrome; copyedit and add references uswds-site#664)
  • Added references to the bottom of the page
  • Included new guidance on using color for readability
  • Thanks @vizionsinmotion!
