# 1.5.1

2013-11-17

# 1.5.0

2013-10-21

 - sourcemap support
 - support for import inline option to include css that you do NOT want less to parse e.g. `@import (inline) "file.css";`
 - better support for modifyVars (refresh styles with new variables, using a file cache), is now more resiliant
 - support for import reference option to reference external css, but not output it. Any mixin calls or extend's will be output.
 - support for guards on selectors (currently only if you have a single selector)
 - allow property merging through the +: syntax
 - Added min/max functions
 - Added length function and improved extract to work with comma seperated values
 - when using import multiple, sub imports are imported multiple times into final output
 - fix bad spaces between namespace operators
 - do not compress comment if it begins with an exclamation mark

 - A few bug fixes for media queries, extends, scoping, compression and import once.

# 1.4.2

2013-07-20

 - if you don't pass a strict maths option, font size/line height options are output correctly again
 - npmignore now include .gitattributes
 - property names may include capital letters
 - various windows path fixes (capital letters, multiple // in a path)

# 1.4.1

2013-07-05

 - fix syncImports and yui-compress option, as they were being ignored
 - fixed several global variable leaks
 - handle getting null or undefined passed as the options object

# 1.4.0

2013-06-05

 - fix passing of strict maths option

# 1.4.0 Beta 4
 
2013-05-04

 - change strictMaths to strictMath. Enable this with --strict-math=on in lessc and strictMath:true in JavaScript.
 - change lessc option for strict units to --strict-units=off

# 1.4.0 Beta 3

2013-04-30

 - strictUnits now defaults to false and the true case now gives more useful but less correct results, e.g. 2px/1px = 2px
 - Process ./ when having relative paths
 - add isunit function for mixin guards and non basic units
 - extends recognise attributes
 - exception errors extend the JavaScript Error
 - remove es-5-shim as standard from the browser

# 1.4.0 Beta 1 & 2

2013-03-07

 - support for `:extend()` in selectors (e.g. `input:extend(.button) {}`) and `&:extend();` in ruleset (e.g. `input { &:extend(.button all); }`)
 - maths is now only done inside brackets. This means font: statements, media queries and the calc function can use a simpler format without being escaped. Disable this with --strict-maths-off in lessc and strictMaths:false in JavaScript.
 - units are calculated, e.g. 200cm+1m = 3m, 3px/1px = 3. If you use units inconsistently you will get an error. Suppress this error with --strict-units-off in lessc or strictUnits:false in JavaScript
 - `(~"@var")` selector interpolation is removed. Use @{var} in selectors to have variable selectors
 - default behaviour of import is to import each file once. `@import-once` has been removed.
 - You can specify options on imports to force it to behave as css or less `@import (less) "file.css"` will process the file as less
 - variables in mixins no longer 'leak' into their calling scope
 - added data-uri function which will inline an image into the output css. If ieCompat option is true and file is too large, it will fallback to a url()
 - significant bug fixes to our debug options
 - other parameters can be used as defaults in mixins e.g. .a(@a, @b:@a)
 - an error is shown if properties are used outside of a ruleset
 - added extract function which picks a value out of a list, e.g. extract(12 13 14, 3) => 14 
 - added luma, hsvhue, hsvsaturation, hsvvalue functions
 - added pow, pi, mod, tan, sin, cos, atan, asin, acos and sqrt math functions
 - added convert function, e.g. convert(1rad, deg) => value in degrees
 - lessc makes output directories if they don't exist
 - lessc `@import` supports https and 301's
 - lessc "-depends" option for lessc writes out the list of import files used in makefile format
 - lessc "-lint" option just reports errors
 - support for namespaces in attributes and selector interpolation in attributes
 - other bug fixes
