Changelog.

Sprout follows semver. Patch and minor releases are additive — you should never need to refactor on a minor bump. Major bumps are coordinated cross-team.

v3.12.1
Jun 2026
patch
  • Migrated GitLab from the self-managed instance to gitlab.com (aceve/aceve-design-system group). Updated repo, registry and merge-request URLs across the install, contribute and source links.
v3.12.0
Jun 2026
minor
  • New public UX Strategi page (People & ethics) — the public summary of Aceve's UX strategy, and the gateway to the internal area.
  • New password-protected internal UX area — UX Pipelines, UX Strategy Internal, UX Labs and Ways of Working, for the UX team and invited collaborators. Access by request: contact Mikel von Krogh.
  • Added an edge-middleware login gate (signed HttpOnly cookie) over /internal/*; internal pages stay out of search and the sitemap.

v3.11.0
Jun 2026
minor
  • Documented four components that were on the board but had no page: Cards and Dialog (Ready), Tabs and Context menu (Beta) — each now linked from the coverage board.
  • New Accessibility foundation page — WCAG 2.1 AA floor, keyboard, screen-reader and reduced-motion guidance, gathered from the component pages into one place.
  • Adoption page is now in the sidebar (Get started) — previously reachable only by direct link.
v3.10.3
Jun 2026
patch
  • Color page — Semantic: warning color corrected from Tailwind amber (#F59E0B) to Sprout warning.500 (#bf9c0c) to match Figma. Fixes light and dark warning tints. Step labels corrected: Success/Info/Danger are step 600, Warning is step 500.
  • Tokens: success, warning, link color palettes now exported in COLORS for docs display.
v3.10.2
Jun 2026
patch
  • Figma webhook fixed end-to-end — passcode mismatch resolved, pipeline now triggers on every LIBRARY_PUBLISH.
  • Figma sync now covers spacing (3xs–4xl) and motion durations (xfast–xslow) in addition to colors — sync:primitive updated.
  • Motion page: updated to 5-step duration scale (50 / 150 / 250 / 500 / 1000ms) aligned with Figma variables.
  • Spacing tokens 2xl / 3xl / 4xl corrected to 40 / 48 / 64px to match Figma spacing collection.
  • Architecture page: step 03 now accurately describes sync:figma → sync:primitive → sync:icons order.
v3.10.1
Jun 2026
patch
  • Buttons page: added Figma Type ↔ React variant mapping table — Primary/Neutral/Danger/Success in Figma map to primary/secondary/destructive/success in React. subtle is a code-only variant.

minor
  • Icon library expanded to 297 icons — full Lineicons Pro set synced from the main Sprout Figma library (up from 96).

  • vendor/sprout-tokens updated with the full 297-icon bundle.
v3.9.0
Jun 2026
minor
  • New Contribute page — how anyone on the UX team clones, edits and ships changes to the docs and tokens repos, with worked examples for a new page and a new component.
