Bootstrap version 3.3.4 arrived on March 16, 2015, succeeding version 3.3.2 released on January 19, 2015. Both versions maintain Bootstrap's core purpose as a leading front-end framework for crafting responsive, mobile-first web projects.
Examining the "devDependencies" reveals several updates. Version 3.3.4 incorporates newer versions of tools like glob, grunt-jscs, npm-shrinkwrap, grunt-saucelabs, load-grunt-tasks, grunt-autoprefixer, grunt-contrib-copy, grunt-contrib-jade, grunt-contrib-cssmin, and grunt-contrib-jshint. These upgrades likely brought performance improvements, bug fixes, and enhanced compatibility with the evolving JavaScript ecosystem. The move from remarkable in 3.3.2 to markdown-it in 3.3.4 suggests a change in markdown processing libraries, potentially driven by features or performance. Some tools, like grunt-html-validation, present in 3.3.2 are completely removed in 3.3.4, maybe integrated in other tasks or removed due to deprecation.
For developers, these incremental updates signify a commitment to maintaining a modern and efficient development workflow. Upgrading from 3.3.2 to 3.3.4 entails leveraging newer tooling and potentially benefiting from resolved issues or optimized functionalities within those updated dependencies. While the core functionality of Bootstrap remains consistent, these refinements contribute to a smoother and more streamlined development experience. Keep in mind the version numbers, using 3.3.2 requires older versions of tooling.

Bootstrap Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability for data-* attributes
A security vulnerability has been discovered in bootstrap that could enable Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The vulnerability is associated with the data-loading-text attribute within the button plugin. This vulnerability can be exploited by injecting malicious JavaScript code into the attribute, which would then be executed when the button's loading state is triggered.
Bootstrap Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability
A vulnerability has been identified in Bootstrap that exposes users to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The issue is present in the carousel component, where the data-slide and data-slide-to attributes can be exploited through the href attribute of an <a> tag due to inadequate sanitization. This vulnerability could potentially enable attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the victim's browser.
