Rivet version 2.7.0 is now available. This release integrates Rivet’s CSS custom properties into the core package and fixes various bugs.

CSS custom properties #

This release integrates Rivet’s CSS custom properties into the core package and CDN-hosted assets. Previously, developers who wanted to use Rivet’s custom properties would have to import a separate variables.css file into their project.

Each custom property is listed on the design tokens page.

The variables.css file has not been removed from the Rivet package. While this file is no longer needed and can be removed from your project, importing this file will not cause an error.

Bug fixes #

This release fixes the following bugs:

Updated JavaScript-powered components to not erroneously emit events on initialization
Updated file input component to not strip spaces from names of uploaded files
Removed erroneous extra spacing from dropdown and file input components
Removed duplicate fill attribute from trident in base footer

The Rivet team would like to thank Chris Basham for his contributions to this release.
