Last week we released a new major version of the Vanilla framework. Vanilla 4.0 introduces the elements of the new style used for a current rebranding of Canonical’s brochure websites, including typography changes of headings utilising new variable Ubuntu font, wider grid width, removed rounded corners, some updated colours, and updates to any related components.

We treat Vanilla 4.0 as an interim release that includes elements of new branding but keep the support for the old style of components as well to allow for easier and more granular migration on our biggest websites. Therefore there are no significant breaking changes or removed components.

But even without breaking changes, because of quite significant visual differences introduced by updated typography and wider grid, it is recommended to properly QA templates and pages, especially if there are any custom styles built on top of Vanilla.

Below we explain in a bit more detail the most important aspects of the Vanilla 4.0 release.
