<li>] Bootstrap has shaped and driven standards over the years &ndash; especially mobile development. It enabled developers to either prototype quick and dirty sites or extend and build completely custom, rock-solid websites.</li>
<li>] Bootstrap 2.0, they went fully responsive (but still technically optional), and they slowly started phasing out Internet Explorer 7 support.</li>
<li>] Bootstrap 3.0, finally killing off Internet Explorer(IE) support and slowly phasing out IE 8. They also went &ldquo;flat&rdquo; and removed gradients, added a ton of new features, and upgraded their grid to be insanely more powerful:</li>
<li>] Bootstrap 4.0 which completely drops Internet Explorer 8 support. This means the front-end framework is no longer held back by legacy browsers and they can use better CSS3 techniques.&nbsp;The framework still supports IE 9, but IE9 supports just enough CSS3 things to not make it a huge problem. IE9&rsquo;s biggest hold-up is its total lack of Flexbox support. Fortunately, the Bootstrap guys optionally added flexbox support.&nbsp;</li>
<li>]&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/mdo/status/591364406816079873" target="_blank">Bootstrap 5</a>&nbsp;will be here and we can probably safely say that Internet Explorer 9 support will be completely dropped freeing many front-end developers from the worst part of their job. It also will probably be built using&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/postcss/postcss" target="_blank">PostCSS</a>, but speculating about Bootstrap 5 right now isn&rsquo;t important.&nbsp;</li>
