title: Breaking Changes
|
|
|
|
|
introduction: >
|
|
|
|
|
New versions of Sass are as backwards-compatible as possible, but sometimes
|
|
|
|
|
a breaking change is necessary. Sass needs to keep up with the evolving CSS
|
|
|
|
|
specification, and old language design mistakes occasionally need to be fixed.

|
|
Before each breaking change is released, Sass implementations will produce
|
|
|
|
|
deprecation warnings for stylesheets whose behavior will change. Whenever
|
|
|
|
|
possible, these warnings will include suggestions for how to update the
|
|
|
|
|
deprecated styles to make them forward-compatible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Different implementations have different policies for breaking changes and
|
|
|
|
|
deprecations. [Dart Sass][] will emit deprecation warnings for at least three
|
|
|
|
|
months before releasing a breaking change, and will release the breaking change
|
|
|
|
|
with a new major version number **unless that change is necessary for CSS
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility**. CSS compatibility changes are often both non-disruptive and
|
|
|
|
|
time-sensitive, so they may be released with new minor version numbers instead.

|
|
|
|
[`--fatal-deprecation` command line option](/documentation/cli/dart-sass#fatal-deprecation).
