+title: Bootstrap 3 RC2
+---
+
+We've just cut a new release for Bootstrap 3, RC2. It's a big RC2 and lots more has changed, but that should all be for the better. Thanks everyone who's given feedback and submitted pull requests thus far—we're getting super close!
+
+## Key changes from RC1
+
+Without listing all the minor changes, here's a quick overview of the changes. For a full set of commits since RC1, [compare the last commits of each release](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/compare/9c63ffa00fd55c7e61c51b58778b06b28f93e1a8...6b850132d056a136dc4734c4d68c9e1c23b7843e).
+
+* The Customizer is back!
+* The first pass at the v2 theme has been added.
+
+* **Global CSS changes:** 
+  * Update vertical and horizontal gradients to make start and end color parameters come first, then start and end positions. [Fixes #9049.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/9049)
+	* Make `.pull-right` and `.pull-left` classes use `!important` to avoid needing overrides due to specificity (like in navbar, button groups, etc). [See #8697.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/8697)
+	* Lots of variable additions to components.
+
+* **Buttons:**
+	* Buttons and inputs, and their large counterparts, are now a bit shorter.
+	* New default button styles and higher contrast on `:hover` and `:active` states. [Fixes #8786.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/8786)
+	* New classes for size modifier classes—instead of `.btn-mini`, `.btn-small`, or `.btn-large`, we now have `.btn-xs`, `.btn-sm`, and `.btn-lg`.
+
+* **Forms:**
+	* Input focus states now generated via variable and mixin. Use the `@input-focus-border` variable and `.form-control-focus` mixin to generate a custom `border-color` and `box-shadow`. [See commit .](http://)	* Size modifier classes for large and small components—including buttons, form inputs, pagination, and wells—have all been standardized to use `-sm` or `-lg`. [See #9056 for details.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/9056)
+	* Added `.static-form-control` to account for static, placeholder text in horizontal form layouts. [Fixes #8150.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/8150)
+
+* **Grid system:**
+	* Grid now includes offset, push, and pull classes for each break point [See #8974 for details.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/8974)
+
+* **Navbar:**
+	* Added new `.nav-collapse-scrollable` to account for navbers with hella content. Add it to your responsive navbar's `.nav-collapse` and you'll get some `overflow` and scrolling awesome sauce. See for details. (Note that this couldn't be applied to the entire navbar because it fubars `z-index` in iOS.)
+
+* **Miscellaneous component changes:**
+	* Dropped `.alert-block` for a simpler `.alert`.
+	* Linked panel titles now inherit their color. Fixes [#9061](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/9061).
+	* List groups in panels no longer require `.list-group-flush`.
+	* Labels now require `.label-default` for the "default" gray option. [See #9123.](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/9123)
