Shoelace follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). Breaking changes in components with the <sl-badgevariant="primary"pill>Stable</sl-badge> badge will not be accepted until the next major version. As such, all contributions must consider the project's roadmap and take this into consideration. Features that are deemed no longer necessary will be deprecated but not removed.
Components with the <sl-badgevariant="warning"pill>Experimental</sl-badge> badge should not be used in production. They are made available as release candidates for development and testing purposes. As such, changes to experimental components will not be subject to semantic versioning.
- Fixed a bug that prevented forms from submitting when pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> inside of an `<sl-input>` [#700](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/700)
- Added support for focusing elements with `autofocus` when `<sl-dialog>` and `<sl-drawer>` open [#688](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/688)
- Fixed a bug that allowed `<sl-dropdown>` to go into an incorrect state when activating the trigger while disabled [#684](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/pull/684)
- Fixed a bug where the active tab indicator in `<sl-tab-group>` would be misaligned when using disabled tabs [#695](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/pull/695)
- Fixed a bug that caused `<sl-details>` to not show when double clicking the summary while open [#662](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/662)
- Fixed a bug that caused the active tab indicator in `<sl-tab-group>` to render incorrectly when used inside an element that animates [#671](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/pull/671)
- Fixed a bug that allowed values in `<sl-range>` to be invalid according to its `min|max|step` [#674](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/674)
- Fixed a TypeScript config regression introduced in [#647](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/pull/647) that removed the `rootDir`, breaking the expected build output
- Fixed a bug that caused `<sl-progress-ring>` to render the wrong size when `--track-width` was increased [#656](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/656)
- Fixed a bug that allowed `<sl-details>` to open and close when disabled using a screen reader [#658](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/658)
- Implemented stricter linting to improve consistency and reduce errors, which resulted in many small refactors throughout the codebase [#647](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/pull/647)
- Refactored themes so utility styles are no longer injected as `<style>` elements to support stricter CSP rules [#571](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/571)
- Improved the API for the experimental `<sl-split-panel>` component by making `position` accept a percentage and adding the `position-in-pixels` attribute
- Refactored `<sl-breadcrumb-item>`, `<sl-button>`, `<sl-card>`, `<sl-dialog>`, `<sl-drawer>`, `<sl-input>`, `<sl-range>`, `<sl-select>`, and `<sl-textarea>` to use a Reactive Controller for slot detection
- 🚨 BREAKING: changed the `type` attribute to `variant` in `<sl-alert>`, `<sl-badge>`, `<sl-button>`, and `<sl-tag>` since it's more appropriate and to disambiguate from other `type` attributes
- 🚨 BREAKING: changed the `locale` attribute to `lang` in `<sl-format-bytes>`, `<sl-format-date>`, `<sl-format-number>`, and `<sl-relative-time>` to be consistent with how localization is handled
- Added localization support including translations for English, German, German (Switzerland), Spanish, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Russian translations [#419](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/419)
- Fixed a bug where setting `value` initially on `<sl-color-picker>` didn't work in React [#602](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/602)
This release improves the dark theme by shifting luminance in both directions, slightly condensing the spectrum. This results in richer colors in dark mode. It also reduces theme stylesheet sizes by eliminating superfluous gray palette variations.
In [beta.48](#_200-beta48), I introduced a change to color tokens that allowed you to access alpha values at the expense of a verbose, non-standard syntax. After considering feedback from the community, I've decided to revert this change so the `rgb()` function is no longer required. Many users reported never using it for alpha, and even more reported having trouble remembering to use `rgb()` and that it was causing more harm than good.
Furthermore, both Safari and Firefox have implemented [`color-mix()`](<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/color-mix()>) behind a flag, so access to alpha channels and other capabilities are coming to the browser soon.
This version once again restores the bundled distribution because the unbundled + CDN approach is currently confusing and [not working properly](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/559#issuecomment-949662331). Unbundling the few dependencies Shoelace has is still a goal of the project, but [this jsDelivr bug](https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/issues/18337) needs to be resolved before we can achieve it.
I sincerely apologize for the instability of the last few beta releases as a result of this effort.
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-range>` where setting `value` wouldn't update the active and inactive portion of the track [#572](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/pull/572)
This release is the second attempt at unbundling dependencies. This will be a breaking change only if your configuration _does not_ support bare module specifiers. CDN users and bundler users will be unaffected, but note the URLs for modules on the CDN must have the `/+esm` now.
- Added the `hoist` attribute to `<sl-tooltip>` [#564](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/564)
- Unbundled dependencies and configured external imports to be packaged with bare module specifiers
Shoelace doesn't have a lot of dependencies, but this release unbundles most of them so you can potentially save some extra kilobytes. This will be a breaking change only if your configuration _does not_ support bare module specifiers. CDN users and bundler users will be unaffected.
- 🚨 BREAKING: renamed the `sl-clear` event to `sl-remove`, the `clear-button` part to `remove-button`, and the `clearable` property to `removable` in `<sl-tag>`
- Added `--track-color-active` and `--track-color-inactive` custom properties to `<sl-range>` [#550](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/550)
- Added the undocumented custom properties `--thumb-size`, `--tooltip-offset`, `--track-height` on `<sl-range>`
- Fixed a bug where `<sl-select>` would be larger than the viewport when it had lots of options [#544](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/544)
- 🚨 BREAKING: changed the `--stroke-width` custom property of `<sl-spinner>` to `--track-width` for consistency
- 🚨 BREAKING: removed the `size` and `stroke-width` attributes from `<sl-progress-ring>` so it's fully customizable with CSS (use the `--size` and `--track-width` custom properties instead)
A number of users had trouble counting characters that repeat, so this release improves design token patterns so that "t-shirt sizes" are more accessible. For example, `--sl-font-size-xxx-large` has become `--sl-font-size-3x-large`. This change applies to all design tokens that use this scale.
This release changes the way focus states are applied to elements. In browsers that support [`:focus-visible`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:focus-visible), it will be used. In unsupportive browsers ([currently only Safari](https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_selectors_focus-visible)), `:focus` will be used instead. This means the browser will determine whether a focus ring should be shown based on how the user interacts with the page.
This release also fixes a critical bug in the color scale where `--sl-color-neutral-0` and `--sl-color-neutral-1000` were reversed.
- Fixed a bug where Edge in Windows would show the native password toggle next to the custom password toggle [#508](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/508)
This release improves theming by offering both light and dark themes that can be used autonomously. It also improves contrast in most components, adds a variety of new color primitives, and changes the way color tokens are consumed.
Previously, color tokens were in hexadecimal format. Now, Shoelace now uses an `R G B` format that requires you to use the `rgb()` function in your CSS.
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-select>` where it would erroneously intercept important keyboard shortcuts [#504](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/504)
This release improves how component dependencies are imported. If you've been cherry picking, you no longer need to import component dependencies manually. This significantly improves developer experience, making Shoelace even easier to use. For transparency, component dependencies will continue to be listed in the docs.
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-input>` where focus would move to the end of the input when typing in Safari [#480](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/480)
This release improves the developer experience of `<sl-animation>`. Previously, an animation was assumed to be playing unless the `pause` attribute was set. This behavior has been reversed and `pause` has been removed. Now, animations will not play until the new `play` attribute is applied.
This is a lot more intuitive and makes it easier to activate animations imperatively. In addition, the `play` attribute is automatically removed automatically when the animation finishes or cancels, making it easier to restart finite animations. Lastly, the animation's timing is now accessible through the new `currentTime` property instead of `getCurrentTime()` and `setCurrentTime()`.
This release changes the way component metadata is generated. Previously, the project used TypeDoc to analyze components and generate a very large file with type data. The data was then parsed and converted to an easier-to-consume file called `metadata.json`. Alas, TypeDoc is expensive to run and the metadata format wasn't standard.
Thanks to an amazing effort by [Pascal Schilp](https://twitter.com/passle_), the world has a simpler, faster way to gather metadata using the [Custom Elements Manifest Analyzer](https://github.com/open-wc/custom-elements-manifest). Not only is this tool faster, but the data follows the evolving `custom-elements.json` format. This is exciting because a standard format for custom elements opens the door for many potential uses, including documentation generation, framework adapters, IDE integrations, third-party uses, and more. [Check out Pascal's great article](https://dev.to/open-wc/introducing-custom-elements-manifest-gkk) for more info about `custom-elements.json` and the new analyzer.
The docs have been updated to use the new `custom-elements.json` file. If you're relying on the old `metadata.json` file for any purpose, this will be a breaking change for you.
- 🚨 BREAKING: removed the `sl-overlay-click` event from `<sl-dialog>` and `<sl-drawer>` (use `sl-request-close` instead) [#471](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/discussions/471)
- Fixed a bug that resulted in form controls having incorrect validity when `disabled` was initially set [#473](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/473)

- Fixed a bug in `<sl-select>` where non-printable keys would cause the menu to open
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-select>` where `invalid` was not always updated properly
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-tab-group>` where scrollable tab icons were not displaying correctly
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-dialog>` and `<sl-drawer>` where preventing clicks on the overlay no longer worked as described [#452](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/452)
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-dialog>` and `<sl-drawer>` where setting initial focus no longer worked as described [#453](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/453)
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-card>` where the `slotchange` listener wasn't attached correctly [#454](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/454)
This release addresses an issue with the `open` attribute no longer working in a number of components, as a result of the changes in beta.41. It also removes a small but controversial feature that complicated show/hide logic and led to a poor experience for developers and end users.
There are two ways to show/hide affected components: by calling `show() | hide()` and by toggling the `open` prop. Previously, it was possible to call `event.preventDefault()` in an `sl-show | sl-hide ` handler to stop the component from showing/hiding. The problem becomes obvious when you set `el.open = false`, the event gets canceled, and in the next cycle `el.open` has reverted to `true`. Not only is this unexpected, but it also doesn't play nicely with frameworks. Additionally, this made it impossible to await `show() | hide()` since there was a chance they'd never resolve.
Technical reasons aside, canceling these events seldom led to a good user experience, so the decision was made to no longer allow `sl-show | sl-hide` to be cancelable.
- 🚨 BREAKING: `sl-show` and `sl-hide` events are no longer cancelable
- Fixed a bug where toggling `open` stopped working in `<sl-alert>`, `<sl-dialog>`, `<sl-drawer>`, `<sl-dropdown>`, and `<sl-tooltip>`
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-range>` where setting a value outside the default `min` or `max` would clamp the value [#448](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/448)
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-dropdown>` where placement wouldn't adjust properly when shown [#447](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/447)
- Fixed a bug in the internal `shimKeyframesHeightAuto` utility that caused `<sl-details>` to measure heights incorrectly [#445](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/445)
This release changes how components animate. In previous versions, CSS transitions were used for most show/hide animations. Transitions are problematic due to the way `transitionend` works. This event fires once _per transition_, and it's impossible to know which transition to look for when users can customize any possible CSS property. Because of this, components previously required the `opacity` property to transition. If a user were to prevent `opacity` from transitioning, the component wouldn't hide properly and the `sl-after-show|hide` events would never emit.
CSS animations, on the other hand, have a more reliable `animationend` event. Alas, `@keyframes` don't cascade and can't be injected into a shadow DOM via CSS, so there would be no good way to customize them.
The most elegant solution I found was to use the [Web Animations API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Animations_API), which offers more control over animations at the expense of customizations being done in JavaScript. Fortunately, through the [Animation Registry](/getting-started/customizing#animations), you can customize animations globally and/or per component with a minimal amount of code.
- Fixed a bug where removing `<sl-dropdown>` from the DOM and adding it back destroyed the popover reference [#443](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/443)
- Updated animations for `<sl-alert>`, `<sl-dialog>`, `<sl-drawer>`, `<sl-dropdown>`, and `<sl-tooltip>` to use the Animation Registry instead of CSS transitions
- 🚨 BREAKING: renamed `<sl-responsive-embed>` to `<sl-responsive-media>` and added support for images and videos [#436](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/436)
- Fixed a bug where setting properties before an element was defined would render incorrectly [#425](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/425)
- Fixed a bug that caused all modules to be imported when cherry picking certain components [#439](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/439)

- Added `system` icon library and updated all components to use this instead of the default icon library [#420](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/420)
- 🚨 BREAKING: `<sl-radio>` components must be located inside an `<sl-radio-group>` for proper accessibility [#218](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/218)

- Fixed a bug in `<sl-color-picker>` where setting `value` wouldn't update the control
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-tab-group>` where tabs that are initially disabled wouldn't receive the indicator on activation [#403](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/403)
- Fixed incorrect event names for `sl-after-show` and `sl-after-hide` in `<sl-details>`
- Improved a11y for `<sl-button-group>` by adding the correct `role` attribute
- Improved a11y for `<sl-input>`, `<sl-range>`, `<sl-select>`, and `<sl-textarea>` so labels and helper text are read properly by screen readers
- Removed `sl-show`, `sl-hide`, `sl-after-show`, `sl-after-hide` events from `<sl-color-picker>` (the color picker's visibility cannot be controlled programmatically so these shouldn't have been exposed; the dropdown events now bubble up so you can listen for those instead)

- Fixed a bug in `<sl-tab-group>` where changing `placement` could result in the active tab indicator being drawn a few pixels off
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-button>` where link buttons threw an error on focus, blur, and click
This release changes the way components are registered if you're [cherry picking](/getting-started/installation?id=cherry-picking) or [using a bundler](/getting-started/installation?id=bundling). This recommendation came from the LitElement team and simplifies Shoelace's dependency graph. It also eliminates the need to call a `register()` function before using each component.
From now on, importing a component will register it automatically. The caveat is that bundlers may not tree shake the library properly if you import from `@shoelace-style/shoelace`, so the recommendation is to import components and utilities from their corresponding files instead.
- 🚨 BREAKING: component modules now have a side effect, so bundlers may not tree shake properly when importing from `@shoelace-style/shoelace` (see the [installation page](/getting-started/installation?id=bundling) for more details and how to update)
- Fixed a bug where dynamically changing menu items in `<sl-select>` would cause the display label to be blank [#374](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/discussions/374)
- Fixed a bug where setting the `value` attribute or property on `<sl-input>` and `<sl-textarea>` would trigger validation too soon
- Fixed the margin in `<sl-menu-label>` to align with menu items
- Fixed `autofocus` attributes in `<sl-input>` and `<sl-textarea>`
- Improved types for `autocapitalize` in `<sl-input>` and `<sl-textarea>`
- Fixed a bug where the active tab indicator wouldn't render properly on tabs styled with `flex-end` [#355](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/355)
**This release migrates component implementations from Shoemaker to LitElement.** Due to feedback from the community, Shoelace will rely on a more heavily tested library for component implementations. This gives you a more solid foundation and reduces my maintenance burden. Thank you for all your comments, concerns, and encouragement! Aside from that, everything else from beta.28 still applies plus the following.
- Added `vscode.html-custom-data.json` to the build to support IntelliSense (see [the usage section](/getting-started/usage#code-completion) for details)
**This release includes a major under the hood overhaul of the library and how it's distributed.** Until now, Shoelace was developed with Stencil. This release moves to a lightweight tool called Shoemaker, a homegrown utility that provides declarative templating and data binding while reducing the boilerplate required for said features.
This change in tooling addresses a number of longstanding bugs and limitations. It also gives us more control over the library and build process while streamlining development and maintenance. Instead of two different distributions, Shoelace now offers a single, standards-compliant collection of ES modules. This may affect how you install and use the library, so please refer to the [installation page](/getting-started/installation) for details.
!> Due to the large number of internal changes, I would consider this update to be less stable than previous ones. If you're using Shoelace in a production app, consider holding off until the next beta to allow for more exhaustive testing from the community. Please report any bugs you find on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues).
The component API remains the same except for the changes noted below. Thanks for your patience as I work diligently to make Shoelace more stable and future-proof. 🙌

- 🚨 BREAKING: removed the experimental `<sl-theme>` component due to technical limitations (you should set the `sl-theme-{name}` class on the `<body>` instead)
- 🚨 BREAKING: renamed `setAssetPath()` to `setBasePath()` and added the ability to set the library's base path with a `data-shoelace` attribute (`setBasePath()` is exported from `utilities/base-path.js`)

- Reduced the default line-height for `<sl-tooltip>`
- Updated `<sl-menu-item>` focus styles
- Updated `<sl-select>` so tags will wrap when `multiple` is true
- Removed ~400 baked-in Animista animations because they were causing ~200KB of bloat (they can still be used with custom keyframes)
- Reworked animations into a separate module ([`@shoelace-style/animations`](https://github.com/shoelace-style/animations)) so it's more maintainable and animations are sync with the latest version of animate.css
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-color-picker>` where the toggle button was smaller than the preview button in Safari
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-tab-group>` where activating a nested tab group didn't work properly [#299](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/299)
- Fixed a bug in `<sl-tab-group>` where removing tabs would throw an error

- Removed `text` type from `<sl-badge>` as it was erroneously copied and never had styles
- Updated `<sl-tab-group>` so the `active` property is reflected to its attribute
- Theme colors are now inspired by Tailwind's professionally-designed color palette
- Color token variations now range from 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 950
- Color token variations were inverted, e.g. 50 is lightest and 950 is darkest
- All component styles were adapted to use the new color tokens, but visual changes are subtle
- The dark theme was adapted use the new color tokens
- HSL is no longer used because it is not perceptually uniform (this may be revisited when all browsers support [LCH colors](https://lea.verou.me/2020/04/lch-colors-in-css-what-why-and-how/))

- Restyled `<sl-spinner>` so the track is visible and the indicator is smaller.
- 🚨 BREAKING: Refactored `<sl-menu>` and `<sl-menu-item>` to improve accessibility by using proper focus states [#217](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/217)
- Moved `tabindex` from `<sl-menu>` to `<sl-menu-item>`
- Removed the `active` attribute from `<sl-menu-item>` because synthetic focus states are bad for accessibility
- Removed the `sl-activate` and `sl-deactivate` events from `<sl-menu-item>` (listen for `focus` and `blur` instead)
- Updated `<sl-select>` so keyboard navigation still works
- Added `no-scroll-controls` attribute to `<sl-tab-group>` [#253](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/253)
- Fixed a bug where setting `open` initially wouldn't show `<sl-dialog>` or `<sl-drawer>` [#255](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/255)
- Fixed a bug where hoisted dropdowns would render in the wrong position when placed inside `<sl-dialog>` [#252](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/252)
- Fixed a bug where `aria-describedby` was never set on tooltip targets in `<sl-tooltip>`
- Fixed a bug where setting `position` on `<sl-image-comparer>` wouldn't update the divider's position
- Fixed a bug where the check icon was announced to screen readers in `<sl-menu-item>`
- Improved `<sl-icon-button>` accessibility by encouraging proper use of `label` and hiding the internal icon from screen readers [#220](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/220)
- Improved `<sl-dropdown>` accessibility by attaching `aria-haspopup` and `aria-expanded` to the slotted trigger
- Refactored position logic to remove an unnecessary state variable in `<sl-image-comparer>`
- Fixed a bug where `<sl-progress-ring>` rendered incorrectly when zoomed in Safari [#227](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/227>)
- Fixed a bug where tabbing into slotted elements closes `<sl-dropdown>` when used in a shadow root [#223](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/223)
- Fixed a bug where scroll anchoring caused undesirable scrolling when `<sl-details>` are grouped
Shoelace events were updated to use a lowercase, kebab-style naming convention. Instead of event names such as `slChange` and `slAfterShow`, you'll need to use `sl-change` and `sl-after-show` now.
This change was necessary to address a critical issue in frameworks that use DOM templates with declarative event bindings such as `<sl-button @slChange="handler">`. Due to HTML's case-insensitivity, browsers translate attribute names to lowercase, turning `@slChange` into `@slchange`, making it impossible to listen to `slChange`.
While declarative event binding is a non-standard feature, not supporting it would make Shoelace much harder to use in popular frameworks. To accommodate those users and provide a better developer experience, we decided to change the naming convention while Shoelace is still in beta.
The following pages demonstrate why this change was necessary.
- Fixed a bug where link buttons would have `type="button"`
- Fixed a bug where button groups with tooltips experienced an odd spacing issue in Safari
- Fixed a bug where scrolling in dropdowns/selects didn't work properly on Windows (special thanks to [Trendy](http://github.com/trendy) for helping troubleshoot!)
- Fixed a bug where selecting a menu item in a dropdown would cause Safari to scroll
- Fixed a bug where type to select wouldn't accept symbols
