Last year, LESS was announced to be replaced with webpack (SychO), because of the lack of new features of LESS's official JS pre-processors and it was abandoned for a long time. However, as of now, wikimedia/less.php
is still the one of requirements for Flarum core v2.0.0-beta.3
. Besides, the minimum version of wikimedia/less.php
that Flarum depends on indeed only provides compatibility with Less.js v2.5.3. However, after a certain period, wikimedia/less.php
appears to have resumed active maintenance and has increased its compatible Less.js version to v3.13.1. Considering these recent developments, should Flarum reconsider its stance on LESS and wikimedia/less.php
? Could the revived maintenance of wikimedia/less.php
justify keeping it as part of the core requirements?
