Foundation 6.9 is here! This release does a lot more clean up work for improving the Sass. Thank you to everyone that help chip in and stay on top of things to get this release out the door. I am honored that so many of you choose to use Foundation. It's been a lot of fun meeting and chatting with so many of you on the Discord server.
Speaking of the Discord server, that is currently the best place to chat about Foundation. After the war with spam on the Github issues and discussion boards, I had to lock those down. If you are not on the Discord server, here is an invitation link.
Notes on Dart Sass 2.0
There is more work to do on the Sass side of things in order to get ready for the Dart Sass 2.0 release. Since Foundation is one of the largest Sass projects on the web, the Sass team reached out to me about migrating from @include to @use . I delayed this release in hopes of getting that done. It turns out that change was not so simple. It really does change some core fundamental aspects of the SCSS architecture. Therefore, it will need to be moved to the F7 release. The Sass team has been amazing to work with though. They were gracious enough to submit a couple of PRs my way in order to seed the process.
OK, now let's check out the details of this release...
