Releases · mdo/github-buttons

New: Added sponsor button (pass type=sponsor)
New: Updated the font stack to a more modern one
Breaking: Dropped ancient CSS vendor prefixes and IE < 10 support; the button will still work on IE9, but it won't look perfect, IE < 9 no longer works.
Enhancement: Reduced filesize approximately -20% off the uncompressed github-btn.html's size (6849 -> 5419 bytes)
Enhancement: When count=true is not passed, we now don't make any GitHub API request which should significantly improve page load times

Improved button's accessibility:
- counter is hidden with aria-hidden if it's empty
- a title is added in the iframe
Improve button's HTML
- add doctype
- add lang
- add charset
- add rel="noopener noreferrer" for external links
- remove aria-label since we set it via JS
Improve button's CSS:
- the embedded SVG is no longer base64-encoded (-45% off the uncompressed SVG)
- the embedded SVG is optimized with SVGO (approximately -25% off the compressed SVG, -28% off the uncompressed SVG)
- the CSS is streamlined
Improved button's JS:
- we no longer make unneeded GitHub API calls, for example if you don't pass query=true
- add a few fail-safe checks
- switched to Node.textContent since we weren't adding HTML
- wrap the code in an IIFE so that the minifier mangles the variables properly
- switch to strict mode

- replace gulp with npm scripts
- add CSS/Sass linting with Stylelint
- and JS linting with xo
- add a watch script
- update Jekyll to v4.0.0
- add CI for tests and docs deployments
