Tailwind has released version 4.0 of its CSS framework, introducing a new framework that significantly increases performance. Full rebuilds are now 3.8 times faster, while rebuilds after edits are a whopping 8.8 times faster.
The new features are inspired by modern CSS trends, such as Cascade Layer for controlling styles in different parts, color-mix() for blending colors from different variables, and custom properties for creating animated images. These enhancements aim to improve efficiency for larger web projects.
Installation in this version is streamlined, requiring just three steps and fully supporting Vite. The configuration process has been moved to CSS instead of the tailwind.config.js file.
TLDR: Tailwind’s latest version 4.0 brings major performance upgrades and new features inspired by modern CSS trends, with simplified installation and configuration processes.
