Let's lay it out on the line

Be honest, the layout system was extremely opinionated and didn't work in every scenario. We definitely agree, and that's why we completely rewrote the layout system from scratch. Now controlled programmatically, the new structure not only allows you to place your main application elements where you want, they are now dynamic and allow you to change the sizes of the components without downside. We are super excited for you to get your hands on it, let us know what you think! Of course, if you don't read patch notes and just head straight to the website, no worries. The documentation is now configured with DocSearch from Agolia. Easily find what you are looking for with no more digging!

With 0.16 being the last minor release before 1.0, it's very exciting to see how far we have been able to bring this framework. Far from perfect, but a solid offering that has enabled thousands of developers to create amazing applications. One of the last sore points (imho) left are defining your theme and application defaults, which is why these will be the 2 focus points for 1.0 release. With these main features will come a myriad of performance improvements, quality of life changes and new functionality. The documentation now has a new roadmap section outlining the future plans of the project. This will be updated in more detail as time passes, but should provide you with an clear picture of the goals and aspirations of Vuetify.

In closing, I'd like to thank everyone who has given Vuetify the opportunity to be a part of your next great idea. With the support of you, and our project patreon backers helping Vuetify reach its goal of $1,000. This is an exciting time for the framework and I am eager to get working on goal projects after 1.0 release.

Upgrade Guide

Remove all layout specific props from v-app, (toolbar, footer, etc..)
Apply the app prop your application based v-toolbar, v-navigation-drawer and v-footer
The main element should have a first child of v-content. This component is used to dynamically adjust your content space based upon your layout
If using the clipped prop on v-navigation-drawer, add the clipped-left or clipped-right prop on your v-toolbar, depending on which side is clipped
Replace all v-tooltip and v-badge directives with their new component counter-parts. Examples are in their respective docs, tooltips and badges
Wrap all v-stepper-content items with a single v-stepper-items component
Replace all contextual properties (primary, secondary, etc..) for v-alert and v-snackbar with color="primary", color="secondary"
Replace include with exclude in your webpack.config.js or webpack.base.conf.js:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.js$/,
      loader: 'babel-loader',
-     include: [
-       resolve('src'),
-       resolve('test'),
-       resolve('./src'),
-       resolve('./node_modules/vuetify')
-     ]
+     exclude: /node_modules/
    }

Breaking changes

v-tooltip and v-badge have been moved to regular components
v-stepper-content must now be wrapped in a v-stepper-items component, and v-tabs-bar should no longer be placed in activators slot.
v-app no longer accepts layout props, instead, application layout components, (v-navigation-drawer, v-toolbar, etc..) must use the app prop.
The async-loading prop on v-select has been renamed to loading
v-snackbar and v-alert no longer use the contextuablable mixin (being deprecated). Now uses the colorable mixin and have the color prop

Deprecated features

The contextualable mixin is being deprecated in favor of colorable. v-btn and v-icon will trigger a warning until corrected
