Version 1.1 — Weisshorn

General

• The CLI has been updated to version 1.1. It includes a streamlined install process, better error-handling, better cross-platform support, and no Ruby dependency. Run npm update -g foundation-cli to get it.
• The documentation is way better. We did a sweep of every docs page to fix typos, improve examples, and generally make things more clear. Enjoy!
• Foundation for Apps is now libsass-first. We're still testing the codebase in both Ruby Sass 3.4+ and libsass 3.1+, but our documentation and template stack now compile with libsass by default. This means Ruby is no longer a hard dependency of the framework.
• Directive templates are now compiled to one file. We're using ng-html2js to package up all of our directive templates into a single JavaScript file. This means you no longer need to include the components folder in a public directory! This method still works, but you can also just include the templates.js file and you're good to go.
  • The templates file is included in the Bower and npm packages, under dist/js/foundation-apps-templates.js.
  • A third CDN URL has been created for the template files.
  • Thanks to @MikaAK for submitting the pull request that implemented this!

Sass Variable Changes

These Sass variables changed. If you're upgrading an existing project, you'll need to update your _settings.scss file manually.

Added: $button-background-hover: scale-color($button-background, $lightness: -15%)
Added: $motion-class-showhide: (in: "ng-hide-remove", out: "ng-hide-add");
Added: $motion-class-showhide-active: (in: "ng-hide-remove-active", out: "ng-hide-add-active");
Added: $input-background-disabled: smartscale($input-background)
Added: $input-cursor-disabled: not-allowed
Changed: $button-tag-selector is now false (previously true)
Removed: $panel-animation-speed

You don't need to add the new variables to your settings file, unless you want to change their default values.

The old variables are still in the codebase, but aren't being used. They'll be permanently removed in version 1.2.

Template Changes

• Sass is now compiled using libsass.
• Directive templates are compiled into a templates.js file, instead of being referenced using hardcoded paths to HTML files.
• If you have an existing project, you don't need to change anything to upgrade to v1.1.

New Features

• Improved view animation! In and out animations on views will now play simultaneously. Thanks to @AntJanus, @stryju, and @jeanieshark for all their hard work in solving this difficult problem!
• ui-view elements no longer need the attribute ng-class="['ui-animation']" to animate properly; just having ui-view is enough.
• Prior to v1.1, view animations only worked if the states were created using our front matter routing plugin. Now you can enable view animation in manually-defined states by adding an animation property to the state object.

$stateProvider
  .state('home', {
    url: '/',
    templateUrl: 'templates/home.html',
    animation: {
      enter: 'slideInDown',
      leave: 'fadeOut'
    }
  });

• #461: Added a $background-hover parameter to the button-style() mixin. You can pass in a color, or the auto keyword to automatically set a color based on the $background parameter.
• #462: Added styles for disabled form elements. They're automatically applied to any <input> element with the disabled or readonly attributes, or a <fieldset> with disabled. The styles can also be added manually by adding the .disabled class.
• #475: The path the zf-iconic directive uses to search for icon files can now be changed width the IconicProvider provider. Use IconicProvider.setAssetPath(path) to set the path. Thanks to @gjungb for implementing this!
• #495: The front matter routing plugin now supports ui-router's abstract states. Just add abstract: true to a view template to make it go.
• Added support for ngAnimate's "show" and "hide" events. This means you can now use Motion UI classes with ng-show and ng-hide.
• Added a .noscroll class for grid blocks and content blocks. I bet you can guess what it does!
• You can now pass a scope to a modal created with ModalFactory, by passing it through the contentScope property on the modal's configuration object.

Bug Fixes

• #191: <input type="range"> elements are properly styled in Internet Explorer 10+.
• #396: Prevent a $digest already in progress error from occuring with panels and off-canvas.
• #397: The FoundationApi service now has an unsubscribe method, which allows us to remove event listeners from elements that have been removed from the DOM.
• #467: The settings variables for buttons were placed above button group, which prevents an issue with undefined variables.
• #472: Fixed the color attribute of static notifications not applying.
• #478: Fixed an issue with modals where scope.$root could be null after a state change.
• #483: Fixed notifications with autoclose not automatically closing under some circumstances.
• #486: The ModalFactory factory will fetch the modal template before initialization.
• #489: Deprecated $panel-animation-speed, an unused Sass variable for panels. It will be removed in a future version of the framework.
• #511: Panels that have converted into a block won't play their in/out animations if triggered by an open or close event.
• #530: Visibility classes will not conflict with Angular's .ng-hide class.
• The <button> tag is no longer styled as a .button element by default.
• Any element with zf-open, zf-close, or zf-toggle applied gets the cursor: pointer property.
• Removed the dropdown arrow that Internet Explorer 10+ adds to <select> elements.
• Prevented ghosting issues in WebKit with views that are mid-transition, by adding -webkit-transform-style: preserve3d.
• Fixed landscape/portrait visibility classes not hiding properly.
• Images inside cards will stretch to the width of the container.
• Added a missing secondary coloring class to Iconic (.iconic-color-secondary).

The British physicist John Tyndall was the first person to ascend Weisshorn. When the climb was at its most bleak, Tyndall strengthened his resolve with patriotic thoughts:

I thought of Englishmen in battle, of the qualities which had made them famous: it was mainly the quality of not knowing when to yield - of fighting for duty even after they had ceased to be animated by hope. Such thoughts helped to lift me over the rocks.
