## Older releases

The tooling to support our old way of doing the change log doesn't work anymore, and we don't have a better solution, so this change log has become unreliable since version 4.5.0. Please refer to the commit history if you need to debug changes.

## [4.0.0][] (2018-10-27)

🚨 **This release adds support for Bootstrap v4 and drops support for Bootstrap v3.** 🚨

If your app uses Bootstrap v3, you should continue using bootstrap_form 2.7.x instead.

Bootstrap v3 and v4 are very different, and thus bootstrap_form now produces different markup in order to target v4. The changes are too many to list here; you can refer to Bootstrap's [Migrating to v4](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/) page for a detailed explanation.

In addition to these necessary markup changes, the bootstrap_form API itself has the following important changes in this release.

### Breaking changes

* See [Migrating to v4](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/).

### New features

* [#476] Give a way to pass classes to the `div.form-check` wrapper for check boxes and radio buttons - [@lcreid](https://github.com/lcreid).
* [461](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/461): default form-inline class applied to parent content div on date select helpers. Can override with a :skip_inline option on the field helper - [@lancecarlson](https://github.com/lancecarlson).
* The `button`, `submit`, and `primary` helpers can now receive an additional option, `extra_class`. This option allows us to specify additional CSS classes to be added to the corresponding button/input, _while_ maintaining the original default ones. E.g., a primary button with an `extra_class` 'test-button' will have its final CSS classes declaration as 'btn btn-primary test-button'.
* [#488](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/488): add required option on form_group_builder - [@ThomasSevestre](https://github.com/ThomasSevestre).

### Bugfixes

* [#347](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/issues/347) Fix `wrapper_class` and `wrapper` options for helpers that have `html_options`.
* [#472](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/472) Use `id` option value as `for` attribute of label for custom checkboxes and radio buttons.
* [#478](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/issues/478) Fix offset for form group without label when multiple label widths are specified.


## [4.0.0.alpha1][] (2018-06-16)

🚨 **This release adds support for Bootstrap v4 and drops support for Bootstrap v3.** 🚨

If your app uses Bootstrap v3, you should continue using bootstrap_form 2.7.x instead.

Bootstrap v3 and v4 are very different, and thus bootstrap_form now produces different markup in order to target v4. The changes are too many to list here; you can refer to Bootstrap's [Migrating to v4](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/) page for a detailed explanation.

In addition to these necessary markup changes, the bootstrap_form API itself has the following important changes in this release.

### Breaking changes

* Rails 4.x is no longer supported
* Ruby 2.2 or newer is required
* Built-in support for the `nested_form` gem has been completely removed
* The `icon` option is no longer supported (Bootstrap v4 does not include icons)
* The deprecated Rails methods `check_boxes_collection` and `radio_buttons_collection` have been removed
* `hide_label: true` and `skip_label: true` on individual check boxes and radio buttons apply Bootstrap 4 markup. This means the appearance of a page may change if you're upgrading from the Bootstrap 3 version of `bootstrap_form`, and you used `check_box` or `radio_button` with either of those options
* `static_control` will no longer properly show error messages. This is the result of bootstrap changes.
* `static_control` will also no longer accept a block, use the `value` option instead.
* `form_group` with a block that produces arbitrary text needs to be modified to produce validation error messages (see the UPGRADE-4.0 document). [@lcreid](https://github.com/lcreid).
* `form_group` with a block that contains more than one `check_box` or `radio_button` needs to be modified to produce validation error messages (see the UPGRADE-4.0 document). [@lcreid](https://github.com/lcreid).
* [#456](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/456): Fix label `for` attribute when passing non-english characters using `collection_check_boxes` - [@ug0](https://github.com/ug0).
* [#449](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/449): Bootstrap 4 no longer mixes in `.row` in `.form-group`. `bootstrap_form` adds `.row` to `div.form-group` when layout is horizontal.

### New features

* Support for Rails 5.1 `form_with` - [@lcreid](https://github.com/lcreid).
* Support Bootstrap v4's [Custom Checkboxes and Radios](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/#checkboxes-and-radios-1) with a new `custom: true` option
* Allow HTML in help translations by using the `_html` suffix on the key - [@unikitty37](https://github.com/unikitty37)
* [#408](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/408): Add option[:id] on static control #245 - [@duleorlovic](https://github.com/duleorlovic).
* [#455](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/455): Support for i18n `:html` subkeys in help text - [@jsaraiva](https://github.com/jsaraiva).
* Adds support for `label_as_placeholder` option, which will set the label text as an input fields placeholder (and hiding the label for sr_only).
* [#449](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/449): Passing `.form-row` overrides default `.form-group.row` in horizontal layouts.
* Added an option to the `submit` (and `primary`, by transitivity) form tag helper, `render_as_button`, which when truthy makes the submit button render as a button instead of an input. This allows you to easily provide further styling to your form submission buttons, without requiring you to reinvent the wheel and use the `button` helper (and having to manually insert the typical Bootstrap classes). - [@jsaraiva](https://github.com/jsaraiva).
* Add `:error_message` option to `check_box` and `radio_button`, so they can output validation error messages if needed. [@lcreid](https://github.com/lcreid).
* [#487](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/487): Add add_control_col_class option on form_group. - [@ThomasSevestre](https://github.com/ThomasSevestre).
* Your contribution here!

### Bugfixes

* [#357](https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/bootstrap_form/pull/357) if provided,
  use html option `id` to specify `for` attribute on label
