# Changes to PostCSS Nesting

### 11.2.2 (March 25, 2023)

- Improved: support for mixins

### 11.2.1 (February 16, 2023)

- Skip nested rules that have a selector that begins with a letter
- Better warning when nested rules have a selector that begins with a letter

### 11.2.0 (February 13, 2023)

- Added: support for `&` at the root
- Improved: support for mixins

### 11.1.0 (January 31, 2023)

- Implement latest specification
  - relative selector syntax
  - `@nest` is obsolete, all selectors can be written without it (sometimes you will need `:is()`)
  - allow declarations after nested rules.

⚠️ We advice everyone to migrate their codebase **now** to nested CSS without `@nest`.  
Future versions of this plugin will warn and then error on `@nest`.

### 11.0.1 (January 28, 2023)

- Improve `types` declaration in `package.json`

### 11.0.0 (January 24, 2023)

- Updated: Support for Node v14+ (major).
- Fix: Do not throw when a selector is invalid, show a warning instead.
- Removed: Support for Deno (breaking)

### 10.2.0 (September 14, 2022)

- Added: TypeScript typings

### 10.1.10 (June 30, 2022)

- Partially revert the changes to pseudo element selectors from 10.1.9.

```diff
.anything::before {
	@nest .something_else > & {
		order: 1;
	}
}

/* becomes */

- .something_else > :is(.anything::before) { /* 10.1.9 */
+ .something_else > .anything::before { /* previous and restored behavior */
		order: 1;
}
```

The exact behavior of this pattern is unspecified and might change in the future.
We are reverting to the previous behavior until the specification is clarified.

### 10.1.9 (June 23, 2022)

- Fix selector order with any pseudo element.
- Fix semicolons being removed [#497](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/issues/497).

### 10.1.8 (June 4, 2022)

- Update `@csstools/selector-specificity` (major)

### 10.1.7 (May 20, 2022)

- Add tentative support for `@layer`. The actual behavior is poorly defined and may change in the future. Use with caution.

### 10.1.6 (May 17, 2022)

 - Fix selector order with `:before` and other pseudo elements.

### 10.1.5 (May 11, 2022)

- Use `@csstools/selector-specificity` for specificity calculations.

### 10.1.4 (April 4, 2022)

- Improved : compound selector order with pseudo elements
- Improved : selector specificity calculation.

### 10.1.3 (March 4, 2022)

- Avoid creating duplicate selectors containing only comments.

```diff
.alpha {
	/* loose comment */
	& .beta {
		order: 1;
	}
}

/* becomes */

- .alpha {
-   /* loose comment */
- }
+ /* loose comment */
.alpha .beta {
	order: 1;
}
```

### 10.1.2 (January 12, 2022)

- Improved : selector specificity calculation

### 10.1.1 (January 2, 2022)

### 10.1.0 (December 22, 2021)

- Added: `noIsPseudoSelector` plugin option.
- Changed: `:is()` pseudo is now avoided as much as possible by default.
- Updated: documentation

[more info on noIsPseudoSelector](https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/tree/main/plugins/postcss-nesting#noispseudoselector)

```js
postcssNesting({
	noIsPseudoSelector: true
})
```

### 10.0.3 (December 13, 2021)

- Updated: documentation

### 10.0.2 (November 18, 2021)

- Fixed: Support for Deno. Ensuring we pack `mod.js` so it can be accessible by CDNs.

### 10.0.1 (November 17, 2021)

- Removed: Support for `allowDeclarationsAfterNestedRules`.

We've realised that enforcing this rule from the spec was going to be problematic
in the long run given how plugins work and the whole ecosystem around mixins and
other features. Treating this as a patch given that this was introduced in the
previous version and was starting to break projects that were using other features.

### 10.0.0 (November 16, 2021)

- Added: `.npmrc` file.

### 7.0.0 (September 17, 2018)

- Updated: Support for PostCSS v7+
- Updated: Support for Node v6+

In a comment, a CSSWG member expressed interest in handling nested `@media`
while handling selector nesting. Since the specification has yet to be added
to the official CSSWG repository, nested at-rule deprecation is further delayed.
