New in Bootstrap 5

- Natural Auto Width for a grid column - we support it with the row auto type
- Position more position utility class already supported (in Bootstrap version 4) via the position attribute.
- JQuery is no more needed and Popper is included in one bundle.
- Text-align can now be applied conditionally by screen size
- Supports for RTL language. Example: Check this arabic page: صفحة مكتوبة باللغة العربية
- The two new heading display style d5 and d6
Breaking changes from Combostrap 5
Start and End in place of Left and Right in Utility Class
To support RTL languages, Bootstrap has renamed the direction properties left and right in favor start and end.
The only breaking change is when you use utility class directly from bootstrap with the class attribute (ie without using for instance the spacing utility for instance).
They have been renamed and we can't do much in this case
The left and right spacing utility have been renamed to support text direction.
- in place of l (left), you get a s (start) - for classes that set margin-left or padding-left in LTR, margin-right or padding-right in RTL
- in place of r (right), you get a e (end)- for classes that set margin-right or padding-right in LTR, margin-left or padding-left in RTL
Theme
The below change is only valid for the default bootstrap theme, not for third theme stylesheet such as bootswatch
The colors have changed in the default Bootstrap them to add more contrast. Unfortunately, it means that the default colors are more bright.
Example with the info color

Changes preserved
This section lists the changes preserved by ComboStrap.
Deleted
The following elements are deleted in Bootstrap 5 but preserved in Combostrap.
- Card Columns was deleted from Bootstrap 4 but we maintain it as explained in this example
Modified
- The bs namespace has been added to all variables:
- color names. We maintain the old color scheme without the prefix name by applying the new prefix transparently.
- the assistive technologies class given in the search bar has changed from sr-only to visually-hidden
- badge uses now background class to specify the background color. The colors have changed slightly.
