Apr 1, 2025April 2025 performance highlights for swisspost/design-system. Modernized typography controls by introducing a new font-size utility set (.fs-1 to .fs-11), removing deprecated font-size variables, the font-curve mixin, and updating guidance to steer users toward the new utilities. Implemented breaking changes by removing Bootstrap navbar imports and CSS, and eliminating ng-bootstrap components (modal, notification overlay, custom select) with corresponding documentation updates. Invested in documentation UX and accessibility improvements to ensure better readability, responsiveness, and consistent structure across components and guidelines. Collectively, these efforts reduce technical debt, streamline adoption of the new typography utilities, and improve maintainability and accessibility of the design system.
