</div>
Other improvements include:
- The docs have been rearranged and updated to be more specific and easier to develop.
- The progress bar component has been improved for increased flexibility.
- CSS repaint performance (most notably through scrolling) has been enhanced for several components.
- Keyboard navigation (forward and backward) is now available for the carousel.
- Modals should no longer shift left when being opened.
Also, a number of responsive utility classes have been added: block, inline-block, and inline. The change log contains all fixes and improvements brought by this version.
To avoid certain bugs generated by invalid HTML submitted to the repository, the team behind Bootstrap has installed the LMVTFY (Let Me Validate That For You) service which watches for new issues or new comments, extracts the HTML code if any, and runs it through an HTML5 validator.
Bootstrap can now be downloaded via npm.
