Bootstrap 3.3.1 is a minor patch release following Bootstrap 3.3.0 within the popular front-end framework. Both versions offer the same core benefits: a robust, responsive, and mobile-first approach to web development. Developers leveraging Bootstrap gain access to a comprehensive suite of pre-built CSS and JavaScript components, streamlining the creation of visually appealing and functional websites and web applications.
The key changes reside in the devDependencies section, primarily involving the tools used for development and testing, not necessarily impacting the end-user experience directly. For example, remarkable was updated to ~1.4.0 from ^1.2.2 and npm-shrinkwrap moved to ~5.1.0 from ~4.0.0. One interesting change is on grunt-contrib-connect moved from ~0.8.0 to ~0.9.0. These updates often include bug fixes, performance improvements, or compatibility adjustments within the development workflow. For developers contributing to Bootstrap itself or customizing it extensively, these dependency updates are relevant. End-users incorporating Bootstrap into their projects will likely experience similar functionality between the two versions, with 3.3.1 potentially offering a slightly more refined and stable development environment due to the updated dependencies. The releaseDate differ of only 2 weeks between the versions, making it clear that the 3.3.1 was a bug fixing or minor improvement version.
