Bootstrap 5 vs. Bootstrap 3 & 4
This tutorial follows Bootstrap 4, which was released in 2018, as an upgrade to Bootstrap 3, with new components, faster stylesheetc, more responsiveness, etc.
Bootstrap 5 (released 2021) is the newest version of Bootstrap; It supports the latest, stable releases of all major browsers and platforms. However, Internet Explorer 11 and down is not supported.
The main differences between Bootstrap 5 and Bootstrap 3 & 4, is that Bootstrap 5 has switched to JavaScript instead of jQuery.
Note: Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 4 is still supported by the team for critical bugfixes and documentation changes, and it is perfectly safe to continue to use them. However, new features will NOT be added to them.
