Hi guys, I've been working on Pinegrow's Bootstrap blocks and templates, currently to migrate from Bootstrap 4 to Bootstrap 5. And through the process, I guess I went through almost all of the classes and changes. Therefore, I thought it would be helpful to share those changes. If you are thinking how to migrate from Bootstrap v4 to v5, this list can be handy; so you can just search and replace them.

Few other pointers
- All class names with left/right and l/r has been changed to start/end and s/e
- Dropped classes - .media, .from-group, .from-row, .from-inline
- Form labels now require the .form-label class, which has margin bottom applied
- Negative margins are disabled in Bootstrap 5
- Columns doesn’t have position: relative property
- Form row layout changed
- Input group layout changed
- Navbar link active class is set on the link itself not on the parent
- If you put a column outside a row, always set col-* class for all the viewport that you need to cover. Mostly should be col-12 for the smallest viewport.
