Notes relative to last stable release (1.3.3)

  • support for :extend() in selectors (e.g. input:extend(.button) {}) and &:extend(); in ruleset (e.g. input { &:extend(.button all); })
  • Process ./ when having relative paths
  • add isunit function for mixin guards and non basic units
  • extends recognise attributes
  • exception errors extend the JavaScript Error
  • remove es-5-shim as standard from the browser
  • Fix path issues with windows/linux local paths
  • strictMaths option added - maths is now only done inside brackets. This means font: statements, media queries and the calc function can use a simpler format without being escaped. Enable this with --strict-math=on in lessc and strictMath:true in JavaScript.
  • units are calculated, e.g. 200cm+1m = 3m, 3px/1px = 3. strictUnits option added - If you use units inconsistently you will get an error. to detect these errors use --strict-units=on in lessc or strictUnits:true in JavaScript
  • (~"@var") selector interpolation is removed. Use @{var} in selectors to have variable selectors
  • default behaviour of import is to import each file once. @import-once has been removed.
  • You can specify options on imports to force it to behave as css or less @import (less) "file.css" will process the file as less
  • variables in mixins no longer 'leak' into their calling scope
  • added data-uri function which will inline an image into the output css. If ieCompat option is true and file is too large, it will fallback to a url()
  • significant bug fixes to our debug options
  • other parameters can be used as defaults in mixins e.g. .a(@A, @b:@A)
  • an error is shown if properties are used outside of a ruleset
  • added extract function which picks a value out of a list, e.g. extract(12 13 14, 3) => 3
  • added luma, hsvhue, hsvsaturation, hsvvalue functions
  • added pow, pi, mod, tan, sin, cos, atan, asin, acos and sqrt math functions
  • added convert function, e.g. convert(1rad, deg) => value in degrees
  • lessc makes output directories if they don't exist
  • lessc @import supports https and 301's
  • lessc "-depends" option for lessc writes out the list of import files used in makefile format
  • lessc "-lint" option just reports errors
  • support for namespaces in attributes and selector interpolation in attributes
  • other bug fixes
