Goodbye Grunt…
Important notice: The Grunt config in our Starter Themes got replaced by gulp + webpack in the latest releases.
Gulp is quite similar to Grunt and allows to automate tasks like SASS > CSS compilation.
Webpack makes bundling of (Javascript) modules a breeze. The main advantage of bundling modules into a single file is that static assets get a smaller file size.
Including and bundling new Javascript modules is really easy and works out-of-the-box with the given configuration. A tutorial which explains how to include webpack modules to main.js can be found here: https://webpack.js.org/concepts/modules

Bootstrap receives a Long Term Support Plan
Each major version of Bootstrap will receive at least six months of support after it is retired, followed by six months of critical bug fixes and security updates.
This official announcement from the Bootstrap team is important as website maintenance and update planning will be more projectable for developers.
https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2019/07/24/lts-plan
According to this blog post, Bootstrap v3 will not receive security updates anymore and that’s why the Bootstrap 3 download option has been marked as deprecated and will be removed shortly. Once Bootstrap v5 is published, this new version will become our default Starter Theme and Bootstrap v4 will become an optional download.

Goodbye jQuery…
We’ve removed jQuery as a frontend dependency from our Starter Themes.
Please note that jQuery is still needed in the WordPress dashboard (backend) and will be loaded there automatically!jQuery has been very useful for a while but modern web standards browser support has improved a lot and most JS frameworks started to drop any external dependencies in favor of plain/vanilla JS.
Reducing the loading time of web applications and minimizing HTTP requests is one of the main goals of many developers. And since jQuery is an external library which needs to be downloaded first, avoiding it (if possible) makes a lot of sense.
If your code still depends on jQuery you can activate it in functions.php by adding
array( 'jquery' )in thewp_enqueue_scriptfunction wheremain.jsis referenced (See: https://github.com/them-es/themes-starter-bootstrap/blob/v2/functions.php#L480).Further reading:

Hello, I installed the starter…
Hello, I installed the starter spa theme and am having trouble with the navigation menu. In wp-admin, I created the menu items with sub menu item, but they are not nested. Also, the menu is not scrollable so you cant see the menu items that are “below the fold”. Not sure if the theme even supports this, so I thought I would ask. Thanks!
Using wordpress 5.2. Ive attached screenshots of the admin menu builder and a screenshot of the websites homescreen.

Hi jerm!
Unfortunately nested menus are not supported in the Polymer Starter Kit which has been used as basis for the theme.
For larger sites which need support for submenus it would be better to use the Bootstrap Starter Theme.Thanks for informing us about the sidebar scrolling issue. This has been fixed in the latest release: https://them.es/starter-spa

I will download the latest version and give it a try. Thanks for the reply!~Jerm
